GLEN DORNOCH WATERWAY GOLF LINKS
🇺🇸 Little River, SC, USA
Designed by Brad Bartell, Clyde Johnston


Glen Dornoch, carved from the marshy landscape along the Intracoastal Waterway near Little River, stands as a testament to the vision of its designers, Clyde Johnston and Bill Ward. This modern links-style course embraces its coastal setting, playing firm and fast with strategically placed pot bunkers and undulating fairways that reward creative shot-making. The layout favors those who can manage the wind and navigate doglegs that often present blind approaches, demanding both strategic thinking and deft execution.
Opened in the late 1990s, Glen Dornoch isn't steeped in championship lore, but it is a mainstay of Myrtle Beach golf, known for its playability and scenic beauty. While many area courses vie for the spotlight, Glen Dornoch quietly holds its own, providing a stern test for visiting golfers without pretension.
Locals know Glen Dornoch for its friendly atmosphere and unhurried pace of play. Its popularity amongst locals makes it highly regarded and a favorite to enjoy regular games with old friends. It's a course where camaraderie thrives and where the essence of a good day on the links is found in the company as much as the score.

One of my favorite in SC, some great holes on the Intercostal. Really tight fairways and a ton of water
