Glen Dornoch Golf Links

Overview: Glen Dornoch is a public coastal course in Little River, South Carolina, designed by Clyde Johnston along the Intracoastal Waterway. The par-72 routing moves through live oaks, marsh edges, lakes, and river views, building toward a demanding closing stretch. Its 6,890-yard back-tee card rewards accuracy and steady decision-making more than indiscriminate power.

History: Glen Dornoch opened in 1996 as part of the Myrtle Beach golf landscape. Johnston’s design uses the natural waterway setting and a Scottish links vocabulary, while the course’s progressive difficulty gives the round a deliberate shape from the easier opening holes to the demanding finish.

Did You Know? The par-3 17th requires a marsh carry to a green protected by a bulkhead bunker. It is a concise example of Glen Dornoch’s central idea, where the waterway is both the visual setting and a direct part of the shot required.
