River Oaks Golf Plantation
The River Oaks Golf Plantation has three nine hole golf courses that are played in three eighteen hole combinations. These very scenic golf courses are home to an abundance of wildlife. All three golf courses play basically the same. However, the Bear golf course is just a little easier than the other two golf courses. All three golf courses have narrow fairways that are tree lined, and small greens that are well bunkered. The signature hole on the Otter golf course is #9, a 521-yard, par 5, which is well bunkered and has water coming into play down the right side of its fairway. The Bear golf course’s signature hole is #4, a 165-yard, par 3, requiring a tee shot to a peninsula green.
