![]() Townhomes at Rivers Edge command some of the best views in the golf community, including from behind the 10th green. (More on that in the second part of our review in the next few days.) ![]() (The late Ed Seay actually did most of the architectural work.) The developers of Rivers Edge were certainly generous in dedicating many of the best sightlines to the golf course, even if on a few holes, those sights can cause sore eyes as you line up your shots. The community’s namesake river is the Shallotte, and its small tributaries and surrounding tidal marshes dominate Rivers Edge’s sprawling Arnold Palmer golf course. There are exceptions to all stereotypes, which brings me to Rivers Edge, a 500-acre golf community in Shallotte, NC, at the very northern edge of what is referred to as the Grand Strand, which runs 90 miles from Georgetown, SC to about a half hour south of Wilmington, NC. Of course, as the club owners remind you, the riffraff’s green fees help maintain the golf course. ![]() Semi-private golf clubs charge lower initiation fees and dues, staff members there typically do an okay job of remembering your name, but even if you never actually play with any of the “riffraff,” you feel their effects in unfixed ball marks on greens and 4 ½ to 5 hour rounds. Provide a higher level of service, and the privilege of never having to share your golf course -– or your own round - with riffraff from outside the gates (other than any intemperate guests you and your fellow members might invite).
