About this course

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.

Getting there

Most visitors to RiverTowne Country Club arrive through Charleston International Airport, a straightforward twenty-five-minute drive to the northeast. The route follows Highway 41 inland from the Lowcountry coast, trading the historic peninsula's cobblestone charm for the quieter rhythms of Mount Pleasant's marshland corridors and tidal creeks. As you approach the club, the landscape opens into broad stretches of wetland and moss-draped live oaks, the kind of serene, water-threaded terrain that defines the Carolina coast beyond the tourist postcards. RiverTowne reveals itself as a low-profile sanctuary tucked along the Wando River - discreet, unhurried, and unmistakably Southern.
