About the course
Why golfers play River Club
River Club in Pawleys Island is a Tom Jackson design from 1985 with the plantation character of the South Strand. It measures just 6,677 yards, but water on 15 of the 18 holes earns a slope of 139 and a course rating of 73.6, a stern test for confident players that sensible tee selection keeps fair for mid handicappers. The par 5 18th, with water the entire left side, rewards strategy over bravado. Book it on our live tee sheet as a strong value round within a Pawleys Island golf package.
