Researchers think that CBD interacts with receptors in your brain and immune system. Receptors are tiny proteins attached to your cells that receive chemical signals from different stimuli and help your cells respond.This creates anti-inflammatory and painkilling effects that help with pain management. This means that CBD oil may benefit people with chronic pain, such as chronic back pain. Studies on CBD oil and pain management have shown a great deal of promise. CBD can offer an alternative for people who have chronic pain and rely on more dangerous, habit-forming medications like opioids. But there needs to be more research in order to verify the pain-relieving benefits of CBD oil.

Customer immediate feedback has been great! People are describing the relief as “similar to over the counter pain relievers”..A helpful tip from a valued customer has been to massage the cream into area where relief is needed. The massage technique helps engage the nerves and receptors within the area during absorption maximizing the products effectiveness. We look forward to your satisfaction.

The golf course will reopen under normal operating hours on Thursday. Our customers experience will not be compromised due to the hurricane. The playing grounds have been cleared and maintenance is following their normal routines. You will notice along the edges of the playing grounds debris piles, fallen trees and bunkers will not be maintained at this time, but hey let’s not forget, the bunker is a hazard!!

We will be running a special from Thursday-Sunday for any of our local residents and Platinum members who need an escape from hurricane cleanup! Please contact the golf shop for more information at 910-755-3434. Should we miss your call we do have a call answering service who is capable of booking your tee time!

Today we opened the doors for our members and property owners of Rivers Edge to come relieve some post hurricane stress with FREE GOLF. We wanted to take this opportunity to give back to our community who supports us and looks after our golf course on a daily basis. Truly a remarkable community which makes Rivers Edge such a special place. We salute you Rivers Edge and as always thank you for your support!

Family Golf Week at Rivers Edge July 18-21, 2018 https://playriversedgegolf.com/family-golf-week-at-rivers-edge-july-18-21-2018/ Tue, 12 Dec 2017 16:08:03 +0000 https://playriversedgegolf.com/?p=1661

Sign up today for the Family Golf Week July 18-21, 2018

As the largest Father and Son event in the world, the Father & Son Team Classic has always placed an emphasis on family bonds, particularly those created through memorable events and fun competition.  After 17 years of strictly fathers and sons, the tournament committee expanded to separate tournaments that allow the entire family to take part in this long-standing tradition. Consequently, the Mother & Daughter Team Classic and the Father & Daughter Team Classic were started three years ago to include more opportunities for the whole family. Starting in 2018, we have combined the Mother & Daughter Team Classic and the Father & Daughter Team Classic into one event that encompasses all familial relationships: the Parent Child Team Classic. Because that’s what these events are all about: Family.

The Father & Son Team Classic is a two person team, 54-hole event that takes place in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina every July.  The event is not just for Father’s and Son’s, but rather for all relationships so long as there is a generational gap. To see who can play in this great event, click HERE.

The Parent Child Team Classic is similar to the Father & Son Team Classic but incorporates all other relationships, such as mother and daughter or mother and son. You can also check out all the relationships that are allowed by clicking HERE

Thinking Outside the Box https://playriversedgegolf.com/thinking-outside-the-box/ Fri, 27 Oct 2017 16:20:24 +0000 https://playriversedgegolf.com/?p=1563
Let’s keep it real folks! Are we really good enough to blame our mishits on anything other than ourselves? I mean who is swinging the golf club, it’s certainly not the condition of the turf, the putting green or the elements that surround us. We control the outcome 100% of the time. Rivers Edge is committed to providing our customer with the best possible conditions and service each time they visit our

#15 tee box before renovations

facility. If you have played Rivers Edge it’s no secret you may have come across difficult turf conditions on the tee boxes of our scenic hole #15, a 200 yard Par 3 which requires a serious carry over the marsh. Due to restrictions on space and the close proximity to the wetlands the teeing ground is a very small piece of real estate. With the high demand to play Rivers Edge our tee boxes receive an abundance of traffic from a very diverse field of players. It has been a historical challenge growing grass on these tee boxes since the course opened in 1999.

Installing synthetic teeing ground

We now have the solution! It’s time to “think outside the box”, outside the teeing box that is. Rivers Edge has taken a drastic step and committed to forward thinking when it comes to enhancing our facility. On Thursday October 26, 2017 we completed the final step in renovating hole #15 tee box with the installation of a synthetic surface by TurfHound Tee Products. The product provides the customer with a level lie, consistent conditions and even the ability to utilize a natural tee!

TurfHound Tee Product is receptive to a natural tee

While we anticipate and have already received a very warm reception to the changes and certainly excitement from our members I can hear some of the cries in the distance; “I hate mats”, “I can’t hit off mats”, “Oh that mishit was because of the mat”. Let’s break it down, here are the facts produced by an Iron Byron automated swing machine. A machine that makes a perfect swing, if there every was one, each pass at the ball.

Information from Trackman August 8, 2014. Mat vs Grass- What’s the Difference?

So in conclusion, you are welcome. In solving a historical problem we have also gone one step further and given the golfer a better chance at hitting a quality shot! After spending some time on the tee box, welcoming feedback and observing the outcome of swings, I was blown away at how many quality shots were hit! Could this be a solution we see used more widely in the future?

Arnies Revenge Recognized for Scariest Holes on the Grand Strand https://playriversedgegolf.com/arnies-revenge-recognized-for-scariest-holes-on-the-grand-strand/ Fri, 20 Oct 2017 15:41:30 +0000 https://playriversedgegolf.com/?p=1555 Myrtle Beach’s 18 Scariest Golf Holes

October 12, 2017 by Chris King with Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday

The witching season is upon us, making it a perfect time to take a look at the 18 scariest Myrtle Beach golf holes. In honor of Halloween, here are holes that have the ability to make you feel like you’ve seen a ghost.

  1. The Witch Golf Club, No. 8, 592 yards, par 5: You knew this list would start with a hole from Myrtle Beach’s favorite Witch! The front nine plays through the Waccamaw Swamp and this monster (it’s 559 yards from the white tees) will haunt you.
  2. Dunes Golf and Beach Club, No. 13, 640 yards, par 5: The hole’s nickname is Waterloo and a Chicago golf writer once a made a 22 here – without losing a ball. Playing around Lake Singleton, which is typically surrounded by alligators, Myrtle Beach’s most iconic hole is arguably its most feared.
  3. Tidewater Golf Club, No. 18, 450 yards, par 4: One of Myrtle Beach’s prettiest courses concludes with a hole that can leave a scar on your scorecard. The dogleg left is long and the preferred landing area for your drive is the right side of the fairway, which brings the marsh into play.
  4. Legends Resort – Moorland Course, No. 16, 270 yards, par 4: I know what you are thinking: how could a 270-yard par 4 be scary? For starters, the 16th is known as the Hell’s Half-Acre. Need I say more? Anyone that has been stuck in one P.B. Dye’s greenside bunkers knows exactly why the 16th at Moorland is one of the scariest Myrtle Beach golf holes.
  5. Heritage Club, No. 14, 426 yards, par 4: The hardest hole at one of the area’s most highly regarded courses is a doozy. The lengthy par 4 requires a forced carry off the tee and an approach with water in play and a nasty greenside bunker.
  6. Barefoot Resort – Dye Course, No. 11, 461 yards, par 4: This one is classic Dye. There are waste bunkers, pot bunkers and plenty of trouble, though in fairness, the 11th plays a manageable 366 yards from the white tees. Whatever you do, don’t end up in the small bunker in the middle of fairway.
  7. Myrtle Beach National – King’s North, No. 6, 568 yards, par 5: The Gambler, as the sixth is affectionately known, is the ultimate trick or treat hole. Play to the alternate, island fairway and a possible birdie awaits. Miss and the hole could turn into a house of horrors. The decision and subsequent shot are sweat-inducing.
  8. Grande Dunes Golf Club, No. 14, 244 yards, par 3: The hole “only” plays 158 yards from the white tees but does so from an elevated tee box. The green overlooks the Intracoastal Waterway, making this hole part beauty, part beast.
  9. Eagle Nest Golf Club, No. 16, 449 yards, par 4: The 16th at Eagle Nest, the course’s toughest hole, helps anchor a memorable finishing stretch. Even with a good drive, approximately 180 yards and water on the left must be navigated to reach the green.
  10. Glen Dornoch Waterway Links, No. 16, 431 yards, par 4: This downhill challenge is about placement off the tee and the ability to execute a ghoulish 170-yard approach to a green surrounded by wetlands and water. The Intracoastal serves as a beautiful backdrop, but this hole can be wicked.
  11. Farmstead Golf Links, No. 18, 767 yards, par 6: The holes covers more than 700 yards, traverses state lines, and brings water into play, providing plenty of opportunity for a Halloween trick. The fear of hanging a scorecard-wrecking nine on the board can haunt those of us with mental frailties.
  12. Willbrook Plantation Golf Club, No. 1, 428 yards, par 4: Architect Dan Maples wasted little time putting a scare into golfers. A long dogleg right, this is a daunting start at Willbrook. It’s also motivation to arrive early and hit a bucket of balls before arriving at the tee.
  13. Prestwick Country Club, No. 2, 448 yards, par 4: This P.B. Dye design bares its teeth early. Your drive better be long and straight, otherwise trouble surrounds a heavily guarded green. Par or even bogey here is a victory.
  14. Rivers Edge Golf Club, No. 9, 570 yards, par 5: The marshy waters of the Shallotte River must be crossed twice and a peninsula green that is as narrow as the hole is pretty awaits. Some holes on this list could be debated. This isn’t one of them!

    Rivers Edge Hole #9 Arnies Revenge

  15. Pawleys Plantation Golf Club, No. 13, 145 yards, par 3: The shortest hole on this list is also the most frightening. Don’t buy the 145 yards as you won’t be playing from the tips. More likely, this will be a harrowing 70-yard shot to a peninsula green. Gulp.
  16. Tiger’s Eye Golf Links, No. 9, 415 yards, par 4: The ninth hole on this Big Cat will send chills down your spine. A long drive is a necessity, though it doesn’t guarantee anything as the rolling fairway could yield an uneven lie. If you find the fairway bunker on the right, you are laying up because your approach must carry to the green, otherwise it’s wet.
  17. Pearl Golf Links – West Course, No. 16, 614 yards, par 5: What isn’t frightening about a 614-yard par 5 that play along the Calabash River from tee to green? By the way, the fairway isn’t exceedingly wide either. Regardless of what your scorecard looks like, take a minute to enjoy the view!
  18. Indian Wells Golf Club, No. 18, 410 yards, par 4: There are bunkers on both sides of a fairway that is dissected by a lake. Throw in a large pine tree that sits between the fairway and green and all the ingredients for a frightening finish are present.
