Course Overview
Hey fellow golf enthusiasts! If you haven’t had the chance to tee off at the River Course Clubhouse & Golf Course in Charleston, you’re truly missing out. Nestled alongside a breathtaking river, this course, designed by the legendary Robert Trent Jones Jr. back in 1985, offers a delightful blend of nature and sport with vistas that'll make you want to play through until sunset.
What makes River Course a local favorite isn’t just its beauty, but the exhilarating challenge it presents. Take the iconic 5th hole, for example—a par-3 that demands pinpoint accuracy over water to land on a green fiercely protected by bunkers. It’s the kind of hole that keeps you coming back for more, trying to perfect that tee shot.
For those new to the course, here’s a tip: focus less on flexing your distance and more on mastering accuracy. The narrow fairways and cleverly placed hazards mean precision is key, especially on breezy days when the river can influence your play.
Whether you’re here for a quick round or a leisurely weekend (with top-notch onsite lodging, I might add), River Course Clubhouse & Golf Course delivers a quintessential Charleston golfing experience that combines challenge with charm. Ready to take a swing surrounded by some of the most picturesque landscapes in golf? See you on the green!
