RiverTowne Course
Mt. Pleasant, SC, USA






RiverTowne Country Club, carved into the tidal landscape of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, represents Arnold Palmer's enduring vision for accessible championship golf. Playing across a low-lying terrain interspersed with brackish water hazards, the course favors strategic play over sheer power, testing golfers with doglegs that reward thoughtful shot placement. While not a links-style course, the ever-present coastal breezes and strategic bunkering demand creative approaches to navigate its relatively exposed layout. Palmer's design, while largely unchanged, presents a fair test for players of all levels. The emphasis here is on course management – rewarding those who carefully consider the angles and distances of each hole. While it hasn’t hosted any major professional championships, RiverTowne's playability and scenic backdrop make it a favorite among local amateur golfers and visiting players alike. Beyond the course itself, RiverTowne fosters a relaxed Lowcountry atmosphere. While the club is not known for exclusive, high-profile membership, the focus is on a vibrant community of passionate golfers. RiverTowne is the club where friendly competition, and the shared enjoyment of Palmer's design, takes precedence.
