Rivers Edge Golf Club
About Rivers Edge Golf Club
Rivers Edge Golf Club is an 18-hole course set along the Shallotte River on the southern North Carolina coast. An Arnold Palmer Signature Design, the layout opened in 1999 and routes through marshland, tidal creeks and natural coastal terrain, with riverfront views across much of the property.
The design asks for strategic decisions on most holes and is playable for a range of skill levels. Among its best-known features are the ninth hole, nicknamed "Arnie's Revenge," and a demanding closing stretch. Dining is available with views over the river.
