Golf Digest rating

the river hills experience...
golf at its best

Find out why locals and visitors alike keep the River Hills Golf & Country Club on their list of "must play" Myrtle Beach courses- it's the unbeatable combination of service, course condition and value, in a gracious setting of natural beauty and Southern charm.

River Hills Golf & Country Club is located in the historic seaside village of Little River, South Carolina, near North Myrtle Beach. It offers a magnificent 18-hole course designed by Tom Jackson, with fairways that meander through a picturesque, heavily wooded rolling terrain. The rolling hills, unusual for a coastal course, are this layout's signature.

From the day it opened, this challenging design, with frequent 40-foot elevation changes and non-parallel fairways, has been greeted with acclaim. The course has been named to Golfweek's Top 50 in the Southeast list, and recent renovations has helped make this course a favorite choice for Grand Strand golfers.

The course was recently enhanced to provide greater playability, with features like enlarged tees, giving players a greater teeing area. Bunkers have been reworked to improve visibility on the fairway, and hand-placed stone bulkheads better define the water features. On many holes, redirected sand hazards improve the pace of play. Benjy Hardee, the course's owner, says, " It is critical to pay attention to every detail. We are committed to doing just that at River Hills."
