River Club

About Us

River Club is a sensational Tom Jackson creation that has been delighting – and frustrating – golfers on South Carolina’s Hammock Coast since it opened in 1985. Over the years, it has received numerous accolades, including 4.5 Stars from Golf Digest’s “Places to Play”, and having two holes (the 14th and 18th) named to the the Sun News’ 100 Greatest Golf Holes in the region. More on those two holes later.

River Club is located on the Pawleys Island mainland and exemplifies everything Lowcountry golf is about. Built on the site of a former rice plantation, golfers will encounter pristine wetlands, maritime forests, Spanish moss-draped trees, abundant wildlife, over 100 sand traps and bunkers and lots of water, both natural and manmade. In fact, water comes into play on at least 14 holes. While the course is aesthetically pleasing, it can present a challenge to just about any caliber of golfer.
