Rivers Edge Golf Club

What Rivers Edge Golf Club does

Rivers Edge Golf Club is a privately held, single-property 18-hole championship golf course located at 2000 Arnold Palmer Drive in Shallotte, North Carolina. Opened in 1999 as an Arnold Palmer Signature Design, the par-72 layout runs 6,635 yards from the gold tees (course rating 72.7, slope 142) along the Shallotte River and includes signature features such as the ninth hole, "Arnie's Revenge." The property is complemented by the Double Eagle Grille restaurant, TaylorMade club rentals, a practice facility, GPS-enabled Club Car carts, and event hosting space, and is included in Myrtle Beach Golf Trail packages for destination visitors. The club came under new ownership of Sandesh Sharda in 2024 and launched a major course renovation in November 2024.

The business generates revenue across six streams: green fees/tee times, TaylorMade club rentals, on-site food and beverage (Double Eagle Grille and on-course beverage cart), pro shop retail, event hosting (weddings, corporate outings, tournaments), and bundled Myrtle Beach Golf Trail package distribution. Tee times are booked via the OmniTech Golf platform, and Club Car Visage GPS Bluetooth carts enable in-cart distance, scoring, music, and food ordering at the 8th and 17th tee boxes. The course has earned two Golf Digest Top 100 rankings, Golf Course of the Year from the Myrtle Beach Golf Course Owners Association, and Top 60 Courses You Can Play from the NC Golf Panel.

Customer segments are individual golfers (primary), group outings and corporate events, and golf trip visitors. The club hosts The Q at Myrtle Beach 2026, a creator-led event featuring YouTube golf personality Grant Horvat and other creators with a combined 8.9 million followers. The firm operates with a lean team of approximately six employees across a single Southeast U.S. location and is not publicly listed.
