River Oaks Golf Plantation

River Oaks Golf Plantation

If you want to play centrally-located golf, close to Myrtle Beach and the Intracoastal Waterway, River Oaks Plantation lies just minutes from downtown, yet still within a former nature preserve, offering golfing ambiance with plenty of soothing natural landscaping and interesting wildlife. The course includes rolling fairways and rippling greens, as created by Gene Hamm and Tom Jackson in a design of 3 sets of 9 holes (Otter, Bear, and Fox).

You can expect a fair test of your long-ball hitting skills, precision around narrow bunkers, and strategic touch in placing the ball where it needs to go to assure you of a low score. No matter what your skill level and abilities are in adjusting to all course situations, such as sand and hardpan, you will enjoy your golf game at River Oaks. Other amenities at River Oaks include the Glen Davis Golf school, a driving range, and comfortable club house.

With mounded Bermuda fairways and Ultradwarf Bermuda rolling greens, the 6791-yard course has a rating from 71.7 to 72.5, depending on which configuration of 9 you play, and a slope averaging 125.5.
