Course Overview

A big-shouldered Conway course with English polish.

Shaftesbury Glen Golf & Fish Club gives Myrtle Beach golf groups a different kind of round: wide landing areas, bold green complexes, formal clubhouse character, and a traditional English-style presentation tucked into Conway.

Designed by Clyde Johnston and opened in 2001, Shaftesbury Glen plays as a par 72 and stretches to 6,935 yards from the championship tees. The course gives players room to swing, but the size of the greens and the shape of the approach shots make placement matter.

The design draws from classic championship-course inspiration, using broad fairways, large rectangular tee boxes, elevated greens, bunkers, and water to create a round that feels roomy off the tee but more demanding around the targets.

For Myrtle Beach golf trips, Shaftesbury Glen is a strong fit when groups want a Conway round with room off the tee, a polished clubhouse atmosphere, and enough strategic bite to keep the short game honest.

Playing Notes

How Shaftesbury Glen plays.

Shaftesbury Glen gives players confidence from the tee, then asks better questions near the greens. The fairways are generous, but the elevated putting surfaces, bunkers, and water make approach placement the real scorecard separator.

  • Use the width. The fairways invite confident swings, but the best tee shots still favor the angle that opens the green.
  • Control approaches. The greens are large and elevated, so distance control matters. A ball on the wrong tier can still feel like unfinished paperwork.
  • Respect the bunkers. The sand protects the shape of the course. Missing in the wrong bunker can turn a scoring hole into a rescue operation.
  • Best group fit. A strong choice for groups that want a Conway round with room off the tee, polished presentation, and a classic championship-course feel.
