Rating 73.2

This beautiful facility is located on 270 pristine acres at the North end of the Grand Strand. Blessed with a unique topography and large mature trees, the course meanders down to the inter-coastal waterway with scenic vistas to distract you at every turn.

This 6900 yard Clyde Johnston design is owned and managed by the same group that developed the fabled Heather Glen links and the service you have grown to expect from this organization is evident the moment you drive up to the clubhouse. Give this course a try the next time you vist the Myrtle Beach area. You won't be disappointed!

Nice course but not for me

Conditions were generally good, but there are too many forced carries for me and especially my wife. Also having a large tree in the middle of a short par four that most people carry no get over make this course poor for me

Nice layout horrible shape

It’s a shame to pay $80 to play here. Course is in awful shape. It’s a bummer because it’s a nice layout too. Can’t tell the fairways from the rough and absolutely soaked. Played it probably 6 years ago and it’s gone downhill a ton since then. Wouldn’t recommend with all the other options in the area.

Bumpy Greens

Greens had been recently punched with holes exposed, (sand or top dressing washed down by rain). Barely playable. Bunkers had not been resanded or groomed from recent rain and had mud in bottoms .

Guess aeration is a necessary evil, but courses should either give fair warning or reduce green fee during healing.

It was fine, but glad I didn't pay full price

I got a GolfNow hot deal for $50 so I'm fine with the round and getting to play a new course. However, while the greens were practically perfect the rest of the course wasn't in prime shape. I think the listed rate was $114 and I would have been pretty ticked off if I'd actually paid that. There are a couple of holes on the river that are nice but based on the website I was expecting a bit more. It's not terrible but I wont be back.

great course

Great views, layout, no houses on course. Waterway holes were great. Only drawback was back nine took 2.5 hours after finishing the front nine in 1.5. Overall great experience.

Glen Dornoch

Course conditions. Greens were in pretty good shape, but speeds were very inconsistent. Areas in the fairways had either wet or dry spots with no grass in some areas. The staff were very friendly, we actually got out an hour before our tee time. Then we realized why there weren’t a lot of people playing the course. We played this course a couple of years ago and it was in much petter condition.

Not Handicap Accessible and Unfriendly Staff

Played this course 5 May 2022. Experience was not enjoyable at all. We had a handicapped golfer in our group. They had no provision for handicap flags on that course. A number of holes were cart path only (not par 3 holes). Our handicap player was confronted on a par 4 (cart path only) for driving on the fairway. Experience was so bad he stopped playing. incredible in this day and age that this course was unwilling to provide reasonable accommodation under the ADA act. After discussions with the owner at the turn, some accommodation was made but completely ruined our groups experience. We will never return to this course and caution groups who have handicapped members to 'be advised', as there is no mention of this on their current web site
