Glen Dornoch Waterway Golf Links
About
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!

Don't waste your time or money
No grass in fairways, hadn't over seeded so roughs we're nothing but mud and weeds. You will drive past much better courses to get here.
Memorable layout
Scenic holes with well-placed hazards. I’d gladly play again
Must bring your A game!
First time playing this course and it is a very tough layout! Definitely need to play with someone who knows the course if you play here! Staff was great although seemed odd we could not take the carts to the driving range before the round? Anyway, this is not a course for the high handicapper, but we had fun despite the windy conditions. Just don’t expect to break the course record!
Best in Little River
Highly recommend this course a hidden Gem. I have played this course for years !! Love everything about it !! Any level golfer will love this course and no local buffers . Quality Course and Beautiful. Fun for groups and Golfers Locally looking for a challenging course .
Makes you think
A nice course that can be challenging at times. Unfortunately today was cart path only because the course was very wet. The tee boxes could use some maintenance and the greens did have some brown spots but the ball rolled pretty true. Play smart here. I never used my driver, every hole was better played with irons off the tees. The staff was great. It was just a little expensive for this course.
Great Course but in danger
Beautiful layout. Conditions good. Greens were slow, uneven, and patchy. The course has tremendous potential.
The main problem is what appears to be a group of local kids in their early 20s.We'd read a previous review where kids were blocking up traffic and blasting loud music. We ran into obviously the same group. We could hear the music from adjacent holes. Caught up with them on 16. Became clear they didn't care about their pace of play or the loud yelling and music as it could possibly distract others. There were five in their group!! In four carts. The last three holes took over an hour. On 18, they split up to avoid being caught. Could clearly hear every word the belted out from the clubhouse steps all the way on the tee.
Fun course, need your A game
Great layout. Green complexes were very interesting and seemed to be modeled on classic Scottish links. Many, many forced carries. Conditions were wet and cart path only when we played. Greens appeared to be in good condition, however they were very slow. Friendly and helpful staff.
Some great views. Decent condition
The course has some great water views. The conditions were fair. The greens were very slow and inconsistent. The layout and design are very good. The staff is very friendly. I would not pay more than $50 to play.
Golf trip
Always love the layout of this course. Holes 16, 17, and 18 some of the toughest finishing holes in the Myrtle Beach area.
very disturbing round of golf
Tee boxes were in poor shape, Fairways in some places were very bare. I have played this course afew times each year over the last few years. Played yesterday and had the worst golf experience I have had. It apeared there was a group from out of town who felt they owned the course. Loud shouting, lots of drinking and carts with boomboxes blaring away. Five and a half hour round while the group in front contined to drink and were taking numerous mulligans since the could no longer hit the ball. I called the clubhouse during the round and it didn"t appear that they did anything about it. We will not be back.
Vista Views
Demanding and beautiful golf course and a must play for anyone who loves target golf, over looking the water way. Course was in terrific shape with green grass and smooth rolling greens. Staff super friendly and pace of play was terrific. After the round sit on the porch of the clubhouse with a cold refresher and overlooking the double green of 9 & 18 and the intercoastal water way!
Greens
Love the layout, love the views, but if you can’t stop a wedge (on I-95) on the green from the fairway the greens and the course suck. Not the first time this has happened, not fun, not rewarding a good shot..
Stay away
Dont play
First after taking a cart to the range one of the starters decided to chase me down and start YELLING LOUDLY at me on the range that its not allowed. Really could have just said something quietly. There was a parking pad there and I have done this at 99% of the courses I play. Most importantly the GREENS ARE A JOKE... 95% PAINTED DIRT (GREEN) AND 5% GRASS. Stay away for now.
Poor Greens
Played 36 holes as part of a golf package. Course condition was very good with the exception of their greens. The worst greens we played on all week by a country mile. Pace of play was excellent and we enjoyed the course layout. Too bad about their greens - I would not recommend to others because of their poor conditions.
