Shaftesbury Glen Golf & Fish Club sits in Conway, South Carolina, approximately ten miles inland from Myrtle Beach in the heart of the Grand Strand golf corridor. Designed by Clyde Johnston and opened in the late 1990s, the course occupies gently rolling terrain characteristic of South Carolina's coastal plain, with natural elevation changes that distinguish it from the flatter layouts closer to the ocean. The routing incorporates mature hardwoods and pines, along with wetlands and natural water features that come into play on several holes. Johnston, a North Carolina-based architect who has designed numerous courses throughout the Carolinas, crafted a layout that emphasizes strategic shot-making over pure length. The course features generous landing areas off the tee but demands precision on approach shots to greens that are well-protected by bunkers and water hazards. Several holes play along or across natural waterways, and the property's fishing ponds serve both aesthetic and strategic purposes throughout the round. Shaftesbury Glen operates as a semi-private facility, welcoming both members and daily-fee play, which is common in the Myrtle Beach market. The club offers a more tranquil alternative to the busier resort courses along the coast, with a focus on the fishing amenities that complement the golf experience. The course conditions and pace of play benefit from a membership base that helps maintain the property while still accommodating visitors exploring the region's extensive golf options.
