River's Edge...A tale of fun and frustration

Have played course a couple times now but first time with wives in tow. Course name is warning of where you don't want to place your shots. Lots of trouble lurking if you get off the fairways so be forewarned. Arnie's Revenge, (9th hole) can make even the best player pull out their hair, especially if the wind is up. Beautiful course that will challenge you on almost every hole. Got a great deal on GolNow that helped fund the lost ball bank...ha ha.

Excellent Layout, Beautiful Scenery, Challenging Course

One of the best layouts in the area with AMAZING scenery. Worth every penny! I will say that the greens roll slow but they can only cut them so low during the summer months. This course demands pin-point shot placement and if your wedge game isn't up to par, it could be a long day for you. You can fly the ball right at the flag and it will generally settle. I will say that if you are in the fairway, you can put a good bit of spin on the ball. For the long ball hitters, you can get to the par 5's in 2, especially #17. The staff were all knowledgable and extremely friendly. This course is a well-oiled machine. Thanks to everyone at River's Edge for a wonder golf outing.

Beauty on coast

Great layout that needs some major work on the tee boxes. Greens rolled true were on the slow side.

Very Enjoyable and Beautiful Course

I've played this course a few times, and always have a great time. Not a hard course, but plenty of trouble to make it a real challenge.......it rewards good shots, and good decisions. Don't try to overpower the course, try to outsmart it. Hit the right club to the right spot and you'll have a chance for a great score (or at least a great hole!). Lots of beauty....enjoy the scenery on and around the course.

Great layout

Played this course several times and is always in great condition. Beautiful layout along the river. Some very challenging holes and some are easier. It is a course my group loves to play every time we visit the Myrtle Beach area.

Great Lay Out

You will want to play this course again, either to play the right tees for your skill level or to just enjoy the challenge and the topography. Every single hole has something that holds your attention and as you walk off each green and look back to the tee you will appreciate the vision that 'Arnie' possessed when he designed this masterpiece. Conditions on the day I played were not 5/5 but where as on most other courses that would have been irritating, it did not detract one little bit from my enjoyment or my desire to keep returning to play here.

The Woes of a First Time Player

We found that most of the hazards were not marked. The course was in a general state of disrepair. The greens were not particularly well kept. The cart we had was in quite bad repair. There was a strange noise coming from the rear wheel. The bunkers were in very bad shape. They had not been prepared for the day.

A Must Play Course

I love this course and play it when ever I can get a reasonable price. I've probably brought 6 different people to play this course at various times and they have all enjoyed playing here and want to return.

I've probably played 6 different courses in the past 3-4 weeks and this course was definitely in the best overall condition. The greens were excellent.

The only negative about the course this time was the gold tees were in poor condition. My playing partner was a young kid who can consistently hit 260-280 off the tee and that is the only reason we even noticed the condition. The other tee boxes were all in good condition. To be fair when we inquired about it we were informed that they were over seeded at a later date so I would think they will be fine in 2-3 weeks.

Green side bunkers had good sand but noticed a few fairway bunkers were a little thin, and perhaps they are more waste bunkers and meant to be that way.

Beautiful Scenic Course

This course has some of the most scenic holes in the Grand Strand Area. They are pretty to look at but very challenging to play. Course was in excellent shape. Staff was friendly. Lunch was good. We will return.

Great layout

The course is in great condition, with lush fairways and the greens are in good shape with very few pitchmarks. I didn't see any bare areas or weeds on the greens. The layout is spectacular, weaving its way through the marshes. Arnold Palmer really was a masterful designer and the course was a treat to play. The staff was over the top friendly too.
