Heather Glen Golf Course in Little River, just north of Myrtle Beach, was named the “No. 1 New Public Course” when it opened in 1987 by Golf Digest, and the popular layout just keeps getting better with age.

Holding a 4.5-star rating, Heather Glen continues to make national lists as among the country's best - "Top 50 Public Courses in America", "Top 5 in South Carolina" and Golf Digest's "Places to Play", among others.

Designed in the Scottish tradition by legendary architects Willard Byrd and Clyde Johnston, the 27-hole course rests among 400 acres of natural beauty, combining the Lowcountry setting with holes reminiscent of the Scottish highlands.

With fairways lined with ancient oaks and pines and surrounded by wetlands and marshes, Heather Glen has become one of the most popular courses in Myrtle Beach among both locals and longtime visitors.
