Kicking off on November 13, 2024, the project focused on restoring the bulkheads and returning them to the original 1999 Arnold Palmer design that made Rivers Edge such a standout. On holes 9, 15, and 18, we rebuilt and reinforced these signature elements, not only to recapture the visual drama of the original design but also to ensure the long-term stability and playability of these key holes. As part of this work, we expanded several surrounding areas that had shifted or eroded over the years. These spaces now feature new turf grass.

On hole 15, we replaced the artificial turf on the forward tee boxes with natural grass turf — a small but meaningful improvement that enhances the overall player experience.

In addition to the bulkhead and turf updates, we completed much-needed bridge work on holes 3, 9, 15, and 17, reinforcing these structures for safe and lasting use.

It was a busy and productive winter at Rivers Edge, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to see everything take shape and settle in over the past few months. The course is looking and playing better than ever — and we’re just getting started on what’s shaping up to be an exciting season ahead.

We invite you to come see the changes for yourself.

We kicked off the year with a variety of improvements aimed at enhancing the overall experience for everyone who steps on our property. At the end of 2023, we introduced our brand new fleet of Club Car golf carts that were continuously upgraded with new technology and enhanced features throughout the year. Paired with newly renovated cart paths, your visit to Rivers Edge Golf Club will now include a more comfortable and smoother ride. Another improvement was the full renovation of the clubhouse, including a new modern exterior and refreshed interior. The renovation included remodeling the Double Eagle Grille to provide guests with an elevated dining space and a new menu.

In addition to these aesthetic updates, we focused on adding more value to the golf experience itself. Our renovated practice facility now includes a number of new services designed to enhance your visit to Rivers Edge, such as range balls and practice facility access with every tee time, complimentary juice and coffee, and even complimentary valet service to make your visit as seamless as possible.

On the course, we’ve been hard at work making improvements that enhance playability and overall course conditions. We’ve completed bunker renovations and replaced flagsticks and tee signs. We’ve also added in-ground trash cans, ensuring the course is as clean and enjoyable as possible for every round. One of the major ongoing projects this year is the bulkhead restoration project to its original iconic Arnold Palmer design of 1999. We are currently wrapping up work on One of the major ongoing projects this year is the bulkhead restoration project, which will further elevate the beauty and integrity of the course. Additionally, we’re in the process of restoring Hole #15, removing artificial turf and replacing it with natural grass to ensure a more authentic playing experience.

In our commitment to providing optimal playing conditions year-round, we completed a full fall overseed of the course. By overseeding wall to wall, we’re ensuring lush, healthy turf that will maintain the excellent playing conditions you’ve come to expect—now and for the seasons to come. This important step will help guarantee the course remains in top shape for 2025 and beyond, delivering the best possible experience for our members and guests.

Our team has worked tirelessly to create a welcoming and enjoyable environment, and we’re proud to say that our efforts have not gone unnoticed. We were honored to be voted #1 in customer service and course conditions during the Myrtle Beach World Am Tournament, a testament to the hard work and dedication of our staff.

None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support from our members and guests. We’re deeply grateful for your continued patronage and feedback, which allows us to continue making Rivers Edge Golf Club a premier destination for golfers. Looking ahead to 2025, we’re excited to build on the progress we’ve made.

Despite their shorter distances, par 3 holes demand precision and finesse, offering golfers an opportunity to showcase their skills with every swing. Join us as we deep dive into the four par 3 holes you will enjoy during your round at Rivers Edge Golf Club. 

Hole no. 5

Hole no. 5 is arguably one of the most picturesque holes at Rivers Edge Golf Club. It is the shortest of the par 3 holes at Rivers Edge, however it is also the most daunting. The Shallotte river marshland guards the sloped green, requiring golfers to carry the distance off the tee.

As you tee off of the elevated tee box, pay special attention to the wind at play, you may need to club up one or two to ensure you reach the green. The pin placement is another added challenge to this hole, a front pin placement can be hard to nail with the green sloping off to the front. If you play too much spin, you may find your ball donated to the marsh. Our expert advice to find success on hole no. 5 is to wisely select your club and commit to your swing. 

Gold Tees: 135

Black Tees: 113

White Tees: 115

Green Tees: 83

Blue Tees: 59

Hole no. 8

Hole no. 8 is another breathtaking hole at Rivers Edge with the Shallotte River surrounding the back and sides of the green. It isn’t uncommon for golfers to see a boat fishing or cruising through the channel behind this hole.

A large greenside bunker on the left is a hazard you’ll want to avoid. The large green is a big target, but depending on where you land your ball it can also lead to long challenging putts. Another overlooked challenge resulted from the stunning backdrop is that your depth perception may be deceived, trust the yardage and fully commit on this tee shot. 

Gold Tees: 190

Black Tees: 183

White Tees: 162

Green Tees: 139

Blue Tees: 118

Hole no. 12

Hole no. 12 has a landscape different from the rest, but is nonetheless extraordinary. Golfers face an uphill tee shot to this testing green, you may want to club up to achieve accuracy. Surrounded by the woods on both sides of this hole the playing field is narrow. 

A good and confident bunker game can be the difference between a bogey and par on this hole with four large bunkers surrounding the green. 

Gold Tees: 174

Black Tees: 169

White Tees: 142

Green Tees: 130

Blue Tees: 89

Hole no. 15

Hole no. 15 at Rivers Edge stands as a breathtaking testament to nature’s influence on the game of golf. Surrounded by the tranquil waters of the Shallotte River, hole no. 15 begins the final stretch of holes at Rivers Edge all along the river. These final holes are regarded by many as the four best finishing holes on the Grand Strand. 

As players step onto the tee box on hole no. 15, they are greeted with the testing challenge of carrying over the Shallotte River. Just like the rest of the par 3 holes at Rivers Edge, accuracy, precision, and the correct club choice are required. A slightly hidden bunker on the right side of the green, leaves the safest route towards the left. The green on 15 is a large target, but with slopes and tricky breaks, landing on the green is only the first of challenges for this outstanding hole. 

Gold Tees: 195

Black Tees: 185

White Tees: 155

Green Tees: 106

Blue Tees: 106

The legendary golfer’s design includes strategically placed hazards, and sloping greens that demand precision. To conquer this challenging landscape, golfers must not only rely on their technical skills but also exhibit a keen understanding of course management. Choosing the right clubs, assessing risk and reward, and adapting to uncontrollable factors such as wind, are essential to a successful round at Rivers Edge. 

2. Don’t Underestimate Your Short Game

Most golfers have probably heard before that, “60% of your game comes from 100 yards and in,” and a round at Rivers Edge is no exception. With greens strategically guarded by slopes and hazards, and challenging pin placements, mastering the art of putting, chipping, and pitching becomes paramount. 

A golfer’s ability to finesse the ball around the green can be the deciding factor between a birdie and bogey at Rivers Edge. Thus, on our challenging course, the short game is not merely a complement to accuracy off the tee, but instead a critical skill set that can tip the scales in one’s favor. 

3. Live in the moment, not the score.
