News Title:Mungo Homes Begins Sales and Releases Phase 1 Pricing for North Cove in Carolina Forest
Mungo Homes has officially launched sales for Phase 1 at North Cove in Carolina Forest, releasing pricing for all nine floor plans planned for the new single-family home community. The first phase will introduce 82 homes, with preliminary plans calling for approximately 220 homes across the completed development.
North Cove is taking shape on the former Bear Course at River Oaks Golf Club, transforming a property once associated with one of Carolina Forest’s best-known golf destinations into a new residential neighborhood. With sales now underway, the project marks another step in the continuing evolution of this part of Carolina Forest.
From the Bear Course to North Cove
River Oaks Golf Club opened in 1987 as a family-owned golf destination. Designed by Gene Hamm, the club initially featured 18 holes comprising the Fox and Otter courses before expanding to 27 holes in 1991 with the addition of the Bear Course.
The Bear Course occupied the property now being redeveloped as North Cove, giving the new neighborhood a direct connection to the golf club’s history. The remaining Fox and Otter courses, located across River Oaks Drive, officially closed at the end of November 2025, bringing an end to an important chapter in the history of River Oaks Golf Club.
Today, the transformation of the former golf property is becoming increasingly visible. A newly installed community monument marks the entrance serving both Fairways at River Oaks and North Cove, while Mungo Homes has released the site plan and pricing for the initial phase. With those details now available, prospective buyers can begin evaluating the community’s home designs and available opportunities.
North Cove’s First Phase
Mungo Homes has positioned North Cove with starting prices in the mid-$300,000s, providing another new-construction option for buyers looking in Carolina Forest. Phase 1 will include 82 single-family homes, with the full development expected to grow to approximately 220 homes as additional phases are completed.
Planned amenities include a swimming pool and cabana, adding a recreational feature for residents. The community’s street names also preserve a connection to the property’s former use. Brown Bear Drive and Moon Bear Drive, included in the initial phase, appear to reference the Bear Course that once occupied the site.
A Carolina Forest Location
Located along River Oaks Drive, North Cove is positioned within an established and continually developing section of Carolina Forest. Residents will have convenient access to major routes, including Highway 501 and Highway 31, as well as nearby shopping, restaurants, golf courses, entertainment and other everyday conveniences throughout the Myrtle Beach area.
The community is also near local schools, including Coastal High School, which opened for classes in 2025.
For buyers seeking new construction in Carolina Forest, North Cove offers the opportunity to purchase a newly built home in an area where much of the surrounding infrastructure and commercial development is already in place. Its combination of multiple floor plans, planned neighborhood amenities and a location close to established destinations adds another option to the area’s expanding selection of new-home communities.

Mungo Homes Expanding Its Myrtle Beach Presence
North Cove also adds another significant Carolina Forest community to the growing local presence of Mungo Homes.
Mungo Homes is now a division of the Clayton Home Building Group and a Berkshire Hathaway company.
The builder has already established a substantial footprint in the Myrtle Beach area, recently completing 53 single-family homes in Lyden Village in Myrtle Beach, more than 100 single-family homes in Merrill Villas in Carolina Forest and 90 single-family homes in Sessions Point in Conway.
As of October 2026, Mungo Homes is also building in additional communities throughout the greater Myrtle Beach area, including Allston Park in Calabash, Arcadia in Forestbrook, Bally Castle in Murrells Inlet, Garden Grove in Conway, Hainer Place in Conway and Jordan Grove in Conway.
October has been a busy month for Mungo Homes. Last week the builder announced sales for the Meadows at Four Mile in Conway.
North Cove therefore represents more than simply another new subdivision for Mungo Homes. It is another sizable addition to the builder's growing presence throughout the Grand Strand and surrounding communities.
North Cove and the Landing at River Oaks
The timing of North Cove's debut is particularly interesting because another new community is being introduced immediately alongside it.
Ashton Woods has recently announced Landing at River Oaks, which is being developed adjacent to Mungo Homes' North Cove community.
The initial phase of Landing at River Oaks includes approximately 89 single-family homes, with the property positioned to accommodate several hundred additional homes in future phases.
Ashton Woods is currently offering seven floor plans, with pricing starting in the low $400,000s.
That means buyers now have two new-home communities arriving side-by-side in this portion of Carolina Forest, with Mungo Homes offering North Cove homes starting in the mid-$300,000s and Ashton Woods bringing another collection of single-family homes to the neighboring property. The model grand opening in the Landing at River Oaks by Ashton Woods is October 24, 2026.
For North Cove, however, the immediate story is the opening of this new Carolina Forest community.
After years of being associated with the Bear Course at River Oaks Golf Club, the property is now entering an entirely new chapter – North Cove by Mungo Homes!
