Glen Dornoch Waterway Golf Links:

A Coastal Celebration of Donald Ross Style Design.

The Intracoastal Waterway is a maritime thoroughfare paralleling the Atlantic shore through the heart of Myrtle Beach. Filled with sailboats and fishing charters, this channel is abuzz with lively action. Lining a stretch of this shoreline in Little River is Glen Dornoch Waterway Golf Links, a wonderfully designed layout routed through tidemarsh and thick coastal forests. This thinkers golf course has a great blend of both tactful strategy and precise execution required to plot your way around this Clyde Johnston tribute to Donald Ross. Plentiful pot bunkers with steep faces dot the course along with the large greens with numerous ridges, swales and fall- offs. With a collection of holes featuring so many different aspects of design and variety it was a difficult process to reduce the shot-makers holes to just four. So going with the holes billed as some of the most challenging finishing holes on The Strand, is no fluke. Good luck surviving this stretch of lengthy beasts.

Feature Holes Descriptions:

The closing hole on the front side is the first real taste of The Intracoastal. This lengthy par 4 is a beast playing to the #1 on the index. The entire right side of the hole is wet on this dog-leg right hole. The landing area is guarded by brush left and a large oak right, while the approach must navigate the crossing pot bunkers short to get to the enormous double green complex. The finishing stretch of holes begins with a long drive to a raised plateau of fairway on Hole 16. This par 4 then presents a narrow target of green situated well below the fairway tucked into a little cove of tidemarsh. The green is surrounded by bunkers protecting the mis-club approach from a watery ending. The par 3 17th is a brute of a hole jutting out into the tidemarsh. The left side is wet and the right guarded by a massive mound riddled with pot bunkers and railway ties. The final hole is a design filled with choice. The tee is perched next to the water and teases you with a spit of fairway over the abyss of tidemarsh. The safer route right will leave you with a fairway wood into the double green complex with the backdrop of the waterway.
