Fox-Otter at River Oaks Golf Plantation

River Oaks Golf Plantation, in the heart of Myrtle Beach, stands as a testament to accessible golf that doesn't sacrifice engaging play. Carved into the gently rolling landscape of the Carolina coast, Fox-Otter delivers a classic resort experience with its distinct nines.

Earl Stone's design provides a playable layout for all abilities. Generous fairways define the Fox, encouraging aggressive tee shots, while the Otter presents tighter lines and demands strategic approaches to well-protected greens. This combination requires a versatile skillset, making it a popular and well-loved course.

While not steeped in major championship history, River Oaks is a vital part of Myrtle Beach's thriving golf scene. A favorite for visiting groups and locals alike, the course's unpretentious atmosphere fosters a convivial spirit. After a round, it’s common to see players reliving shots on the patio, cold drinks in hand, cementing the course’s place as a local institution.
