River Club
About River Club
River Club sits in Pawleys Island, South Carolina, where a Tom Jackson design blends Lowcountry scenery with a layout suited to a range of skill levels.
Water is in play on nearly every hole, and bunkers are placed to add both strategic interest and visual appeal. Driving accuracy helps, but scoring largely depends on sharp approach shots and steady putting. The closing par 5 is a dogleg left framed by water.
Jackson's View Neighborhood Grill, a recently opened restaurant and bar, overlooks the course and serves Lowcountry-inspired dishes and cocktails.
