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!

Terrible condition

We arrived to play 18 but only played 9because the course was on terrible shape Greens had been air raided and had huge dead areas in them Putting was impossible it was hot but we knew the weather but didn’t know they had no beverage service on the course I think they should notify everyone that no beverage cart was available and the overall conditions It was only 30 bucks but not even worth that Wait till fall ! I have always enjoyed this course but was really disappointed!

Great layout

The course was challenging and required every club in the bag. The greens had recently been punched making putting difficult. I will return and play it again

Great Value

Great course with amazing views on the waterway, value was great because greens had been punched recently but was worth it. 18 hole usually cost $130 but was discount to $30. Worth it

Nice layout

Course was is good shape and has a nice layout with challenging holes. They do have some scenic holes with good views. I appreciated the staff calling us to let us know the greens were recently punched. The staff did drive around with coolers of water but need a beverage cart.

Nice layout - poor conditions

The course has a nice layout and some beautiful holes. However the tee boxes and greens were in very bad shape.

Glen Dornoch June 2025

Fun course, several holes required placement of shots which is different. Fairways were in good shape. Greens had been aerated a few weeks ago and were in bad shape, thus a !30 green fee with cart. Did not know it when booking online but overall a good course.

It happened to be a great deal because the greens were aerated. I enjoyed this course some nice holes overlooking the intracoastal

Fairways were very nice and some well placed obstacles such as marshes etc

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.
