Origins

Clyde Johnston designed Glen Dornoch, which opened in 1997 as part of the Myrtle Beach-area golf market.

Did You Know?
The course is a tribute to Donald Ross, but it was actually designed by Clyde Johnston.

Design Philosophy

Johnston's design is explicitly described by the club as a tribute to Donald Ross. Small-scale strategic elements are combined with live oaks, marsh and waterway terrain, culminating in a demanding closing sequence beside the Intracoastal Waterway.

Recognition

The final holes are repeatedly identified in golf coverage as the defining portion of the course, particularly the marsh carry at the 17th and waterway-side 18th.

Today

Glen Dornoch operates as a public course within the Glens Golf Group and uses Champion Bermuda greens.
