Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is known for its wide selection of golf courses, but there will be one fewer facility for golfers in the near future.
River Oaks Golf Club is set to be closed for good and replaced by single-family housing units, according to a story on myrtlebeachonline.com.
The report details how the redevelopment calls for 590 housing lots to be built after the course permanently closes at the end of October.
Originally opened in 1987, River Oaks Golf Club was a 27-hole facility with three nines: the Bear, the Fox and the Otter. The story says that Chris Manning Communities bought the Bear nine in 2021 for $3 million and later sold that piece of land to Mungo Homes for $9.5 million. In February 2024, Chris Manning Communities bought the remaining 18 holes.
The golf course is zoned as single and mixed residential land, and thus, any development for homes on it doesn’t require rezoning approval by the county.
