Rivers Edge Golf Club

Played River's Edge as part of a Golf trip last week. The staff was extremeley friendly. The course was absoultley beautiful and in great shape, the best greens we played in our 4 rounds of the trip. We have been going on a Myrtle Beach trip for 5 years and always try to play some of the top courses in the area. River's Edge is in that class. We will definitley play again.

Have played this 'could be gem' about 6, 7 times now, since moving to the lower eastern short part of NC, in April 2022. They can never quite get the course to excellence. only 1 or 2 times have the greens been right, the rest, they have been shaggy terribly slow with nothing but excuses as to why. a whole new set today, when I called and spoke with RJ, a long time worker and apparent PGA professional. I was polite as I could be and I could tell she took offense, which is a shame. There is no reason for greens to STILL be shaggy and slow on May 9. April - OK - I will give you transition from winter to summer grass, heavy seasonal play, etc. (all the area courses deal with this). I told her to fix the problem. No need to go back at $60 or $65, I can play much cheaper coarse's with poor greens. She was even a bit snarky when I mentioned an area competitor - mocking their prices, which I told her she was oblivious about, if you are a county resident. Not a good call, not even a 'I will call you when we have the greens running properly'. a poor customer satisfaction call for sure. that said, the layout by Arnie is MAGNIFICENT. need to be hitting shots with your irons to score. Finishing 4 holes are spectacular.

new to Brunswick county, 2nd time here in 2 months. great track. only reason to not give it a 5 is that greens were very furry. good shape but slow. pace was slow, seemed to be double booking, sending people of back and front and criss-crossing, led to a slow round. excellent design, tough, played from 6300 tees. front 9, a bit long, back 9 a bit short. finishing 3 holes are remarkable, along the marsh. not much room for error off tees and on approach shots. #9 is one of toughest holes in the area. very fair value. will play again and again.

I really like this course, it has a good layout, conditions are good and the scenery is very appealing. It is certainly one of the better courses in the Myrtle area.

The holes along the Shallotte River offer scenic vistas. Clubhouse has a great deck to watch golfers on the 9th and 18th hole.

I have been a member of the Pga of America for thirty years .I played nine holes with my son and the course was a delight and so was the staff. I would recommend playing here

Was told this was one of the gems of the area and boy was I ever disappointed! This being an extremely challenging course in the first place to have fairways that were burnt up and hard as concrete made it 1000% harder. Shots that should have held up in a fairway just rolled like they had been shot out of a cannon and into trouble made the round very disappointing. The sad part was the greens were in great shape but having been penalized for the fairways being rock hard and getting you into trouble meant scoring well was out the window. Certainly will not be back at this course..

Course in great shape, rain from the night before caused the course to be very soft. Good shape, one of my favorites to play in the area. Greens rolled true and were great.

Loved the first nine we played. It was after a soaking rain but the holes were awesome. Then at the turn we waited over a half-hour for the groups to tee off on the other nine and the pace was a snail's pace. Loved the holes but nothing was done about the slow play. Frustrating.

The 2 members of our group that were high handicappers hated this course because of the difficulty of the shots required. I think some of it had to do with the fact there were 6 inches of rain 2 nights before and there was little to no roll. Made the course long!

The low handicappers were impressed with the course. As expected from an Arnold Palmer Design, there were holes that required some shot making. 8,9,11, 15-18 offered incredible views.

Greens were a little slower than the 2 other courses we played in the area, but still were in great condition.

I live in Holden Beach, NC and played most of the Carolina costal courses. Rivers Edge is my favorite. A beautiful course, great layout and it was in great shape. Every hole is unique and different, not to mention the views. Awesome. Now the bad (why it's 7 out of 10). They start the morning off the front and back. No problem. When we hit the turn, it was backed up. 2 hours 10 minutes for the first 9 holes (very good pace), 3 hours for the next nine (unacceptable). There seems to be a trend at courses allowing slow players to hold up the course instead of letting groups play through. Bottom line is I will be playing there again and again. Hopefully they can straighten out their act regarding pace.

I have played this course several times and really enjoy the layout. You are forced to use every club in your bag. I tend to try to overpower courses with my driver. That is not the best approach at Rivers Edge. The greens were very good, as were the fairways. Overall, it is a very scenic course and a true test of your golf abilities. The staff was very friendly, especially the starter.

Taking 5 1/2 hours to play a round of golf is ridiculous. No ranger on the course trying to improve pace of play teetimes were too close together for the amount of players out there. Also, saw the cart girl twice in the first nine holes and then never saw her on the back nine I understand with COVID-19 going on but they should at least made an attempt to put bottled water out there every few holes or something for the players since the court girl was not around frequently enough. Course is not friendly if you are a female golfer because there are lack of restrooms out on the course. My wife cannot pee on a tree like I can.

Simply the best golf course around. The holes along the Shallotte river are breathtaking. Will certainly play this course again.

Played this course twice in the last year. Absolutely love it. Fairways are like carpet, greens are good and true. Practice area is nice. Incredible views and it has some great holes and layouts. A few of the tee boxes were just okay but most were great. Absolutely a must play in the area. Don’t see another course around being any better. Highly recommend.

Great conditions with a challenging layout. Senic, with many holes along shallote tidal Marsh.

Greens were a disappointment for such a highly rated course. Bumpy and slow. Some holes were really neat and quite difficult. Not an easy track for below average golfers.

I had the most fun with my before unknown playing partners today. It was a bit damp in spots but I loved the layout. The 9th hole is something.
