RIVERS EDGE IS AMONG THE TOP 10 COURSES IN NORTH CAROLINA, SAYS GOLFWEEK March 16, 2005, Myrtle Beach, S.C.

Rivers Edge Golf Club is one of the Top 10 golf courses in North Carolina, according to Golfweek magazine. The magazine released its ninth listing of America's Best in its March 5 edition, ranking Rivers Edge number 10 on a prestigious list that includes the famed Pinehurst No. 2 and Pine Needles in Pinehurst, N.C., both of which have hosted major professional golf tournaments. Rivers Edge Golf Club is an 18-hole Arnold Palmer championship golf course routed over the bluffs and along the marshes overlooking the scenic mile-wide Shallotte River. Since opening in 1999, when myrtlebeachgolf.com named it Best New Course on the Grand Strand, Rivers Edge has received numerous accolades. Palmer ranks Rivers Edge's 9th hole as his 15th most challenging design of the more than 2,700 he and his team have built in the eastern United States. In addition, Rivers Edge was recently named one of the top 100 residential courses in America by Golfweek. The 570-yard par 5 9th hole is considered Rivers Edge's signature hole. It has been described as, the most diabolical hole here - the one by which most golfers singularly measure their success for the day. The course offers five sets of tees so that all golfers may enjoy a memorable round. Golfweek's team of 350 trained raters reviewed thousands of golf courses across the United States before choosing the top courses in each state. Golfweek's ratings are based on such criteria as overall routing; quality and consistency of feature shaping; the land plan; interest of putting surfaces and greens surrounds; variety and memorability of the par 3s, par 4s and par 5s; course conditioning; landscape and tree management; and Golfweek's trademark walk in the park test, according to Bradley Klein, Golfweek senior writer. Rivers Edge is known for its visually stunning scenery. Creeks, wetlands, ponds and salt marsh areas provide both a challenge for the course as well as beauty throughout. Rivers Edge Golf Club is managed by Signature Golf Group.
