RiverTowne Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play RiverTowne Country Club?

We always recommend spring (March-May) or fall (September-November) for RiverTowne. You'll find ideal temperatures and the course is typically in peak condition, making those marsh views even more stunning without the intense summer humidity. Summer can be hot and humid, but early morning tee times are still enjoyable if that's your only option.

What unique challenges does an Arnold Palmer design at RiverTowne present?

Palmer's touch at RiverTowne really shines through its strategic use of the marshland. You'll need to be precise with your irons, especially on holes like the par-3 17th, where the marsh isn't just a backdrop-it's a very real hazard. Don't let the beauty distract you from the demanding shot values.

Is playing RiverTowne Country Club worth the green fee for a visiting golfer?

Absolutely, we think it's a solid value for the experience. You're getting a meticulously maintained Arnold Palmer design with fantastic marsh views, which isn't always a given for public-access courses in the Charleston area. Expect country club level service and conditions, making it a memorable round.

How is the pace of play and general atmosphere at RiverTowne for non-members?

As a country club, RiverTowne generally maintains a good pace of play, especially on weekdays. You'll find a welcoming atmosphere, but it's still a private club that allows public access, so expect well-managed tee times and a respectful golfing environment. We suggest booking well in advance, particularly for weekend mornings.

Are there any signature holes or a particular stretch at RiverTowne that we should pay close attention to?

The back nine, especially holes 13 through 17, is where RiverTowne really comes alive with its marsh views. The par-5 15th demands a smart lay-up to avoid the water, and the par-3 17th, playing over the marsh, is a true test of nerve and accuracy. These holes are definitely the highlight of the round.
