Heather Glen Golf Links, CLOSED 2017

Heather Glen Golf Links is a Public, 27 hole golf facility located in Little River, South Carolina. The club has three nine-hole courses that are played in three eighteen-hole combinations. The course is described as a links layout, but this does not seem an appropriate description with its forested tree-lined fairways.

Heather Glen Golf Links first opened for play in 1987. Willard Byrd did its original 6,783-yard routing with Clyde Johnston adding nine more holes in 1990

Heather Glen was named Golf Digest's America’s No. 1 New Public Course in 1987. Heather Glen also made the Top 50 Public Courses in America list in 1990, the "Top 5 Golf Courses in South Carolina" list in 1995, and earned a 4.5 stars rating from Golf Digest in 2002.

All three courses were designed with fifty-foot elevation changes, gigantic 100-year-old pine trees, pot bunkers, and waste areas spread throughout all twenty-seven holes. All three courses have narrow, tree-lined fairways. The greens are sloped with mounding around them. Streams come into play several times on each course.

The course closed in November 2017.

The course is slated to be sold to homebuilder D.R. Horton if Horry County approves a rezoning.
