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!

Fun course great price
My real only complaint was that the greens where in bad shape BUT they are clearly working in them so I gave them a 4 star on the conditions because the remainder of the course was in very nice shape! Will be returning to play again and many more times!
Terrible greens
Greens had been aerated and we were not told ahead of time. Absolutely awful. Every putt was skipping and hopping. There was no way to hit an accurate putt.
The staff
The course had sanded the greens a few days before I played. The staff called me and let me know this prior to my arrival. The rest of the staff was very accommodating. The course itself was in great condition. I will play again.
Pace was pushed too much!!
An older gentleman in our group could not possibly play as fast as course officials wanted. The machine kept complaining that we were 8 minutes behind, then 11 minutes, etc. Course officials stopped by several times to say we needed to “Pick up the pace!”.
We weren’t playing that slow but all 4 of us were probably 12 to 22 handicappers. 3 of us hit many greens in regulation.
I will never play this course again though it was a beautiful hard course.
Great location for golf while on vacation.
We usually play this course while on the coast of NC or SC. Took friends foe their 1st to.e there and had a great experience. Golf carts ha e blue tooth connection to phones for music and distance al I g with other featured. This course and staff are great and is a wonderful place to enjoy golf.
No notice of green aeration
Course is worse than last year. All greens being aerated.
The greens.
The greens are under regrowth due to plugging and sanding which means in a couple of weeks they will be top notch. Great staff and course layout.
Great course, I will do it again
They had just sanded the greens so the timing may not have been great for us. This is a course that is not driver friendly. But it was a lot of fun to play. I would definitely do it again.
Great course.
I booked this course on Golf Now and almost immediately got a call saying the greens were recently punched and offered to let me cancel. I thought that was very considerate. I decided to play anyway and I’m glad I did. It’s a great course and several holes have beautiful water views. The greens weren’t even that bad. Overall I was very happy with my round. The Golf Now deal price was great.
Great Course
Course is great even if the greens were aerated. Which they did let you know up front when booking tee time.
Great course, great views
The course was in great shape, except for the aerated greens, but it was still a joy to play. Great views of the intercoastal waterway.
Will play again.
Best course in Myrtle Beach area
From a 75 year old man who has played almost every course in the Myrtle Beach area, including many long gone, I can attest that Glen Dornoch is without question the most beautifully aesthetic, most challenging (while fair), and managed impeccably in all records.
It also has some of the most unique holes anywhere that will astound you, finishing with an 18th that is second to none. Wendell
Disappointing Round
This course has one of the best layouts in the area and this was a return trip for us on our large yearly golf trip. Unfortunately this time around it was a disappointment. We played it same two two years ago and everything was excellent. This time however, a much different story. The Tee boxes and fairways were hit or miss. The greens were a huge miss. Many bald spots, 50% of the greens were mud vs. grass, and several greens had substantial decease on them and those parts of the greens were unplayable. Considering a great layout, and what they charge for a round, we expect more.
Excellent Staff for an excellent Course
I wish EVERYONE'S staff was as good as this one. Played for the 1st time on vacation and they treated me like an old friend. TERRIFIC! Easy check-in. Gentleman grabbed my bag and put it on the cart swiftly. When it was my time starter asked me if I wanted to go with the 3 others who were signed in for my time or go out by myself. I elected the latter. I was filled in with instructions and given a guide booklet. He recommended an appropriate tee for my skill level and a few hints on some holes. Once I was playing, between 2 foursomes, play went along and the ranger came by 3-4 times to make sure I was satisfied and enjoyed my round. What was there not to enjoy? Great course,in great shape, and a large variety to different holes. The ones near the waterway were challenging, just like I was told. Fantastic day and they get my highest recommendation. Can't wait to visit MB again and return to this venue. Thank you
A Grand Slam!
What a beautiful course. So challenging yet so charming. I'd say it was a home run, but grand slam gives you a better idea of the impact it had on us. Highly recommend playing this course. The members might not like me spreading the word, but a Must Play!
