River Hills Country Club sits on 884 acres along Lake Wylie in Lake Wylie, South Carolina, with a history stretching back to 1937, when Charlotte Observer owner Curtis B. Johnson purchased the property and built a brick reservoir still visible in the lake today. The land later became the Commodore Club, a yacht club anchored by the lakeside Regatta Room, before developer Charles Fraser expanded it into a golf community in the 1970s. Members purchased the club outright in 1977, and it has operated as a member-owned club ever since. Today the club hosts weddings, showers, rehearsal dinners, and receptions in venues both indoors and out, many taking in views of the lake. Its grounds also include an 18-hole championship golf course, seven Har-Tru clay courts, pickleball courts, three swimming pools, and dining led by a veteran culinary team. Non-members are welcome to book events at the club, working with its events director to plan wedding packages and private celebrations against the backdrop of the club's lakefront setting.
