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, marshland and mature pines lining many of its fairways. Although it measures just 6,677 yards, a slope of 139 and a course rating of 73.6 tell the truth: water on 15 of the 18 holes makes the course a stern test for confident players and lower handicaps, while sensible tee selection keeps it fair for mid handicappers. Challenging green complexes and strategic bunkering add to the demand. The par 5 18th, with water running the entire left side, is a closing hole that rewards strategy over bravado. Bermuda turf gives consistent conditions year round, and the course is bookable on our live tee sheet. It is a strong value round within a Pawleys Island golf package.
