Great course for the price

Honestly had low expectations, but this course has a great layout and is well taken care of. Cart paths aren't great, but that seems to be a theme in the state. No complaints for the price, you will enjoy the challenge.

Great course, no gps

The course plays awesome! The greens are challenging and fast af. The course was recently redone and The Grint App does not have it GPS'd. Their scorecard also does not show the course layout, thus making some shots a bit more challenging.

Good corse

Golf was in good condition seval tee boxes for all level of golfers. Friendly staff . Pace of play was average.
cart paths could definitely use some serious work. Course layout map would be nice and the ability to pull up course on GPS would be nice . Additional yard markers needed as well.

Pleasant surprise

We had not played this course since it closed a few years ago. We were delighted that the course had been restored nicely. The greens in particular were amazing. We will be back for sure.

After a dozen years dormant, a fun, countrified muni reawakens

Golf’s recent popularity surge has reversed the fortunes of many courses, and at the reopened Wellman Golf Club, that means a brand-new-feeling, affordable option within reach of Myrtle Beach.

After a 12-year closure, the summer of 2023 saw golf return to Johnsonville, S.C., thanks to Florence County, the City of Johnsonville and the golf course architect team of Rees Jones and Bryce Swanson. Using Ellis Maples’ original routing, they turned Wellman into a stately, enjoyable South Carolina take on parkland golf. The routing is walkable and the holes move through broad, pine-lined corridors that enjoy some gentle, broad elevation changes.

Thankfully, Jones has left behind his 1990s penchant for copious mounding and excessive bunkering; Wellman lays on the land better than most other courses under his name, with thoughtfully contoured greens that will keep regulars’ interest as they see a variety of hole locations over time. The risk-reward par-5 11th, which swings around a lake, is a stunner, as is the long par-3 18th, which plays across a corner of that same lake to the foot of the humble, cozy clubhouse.

Wellman will reward Myrtle Beach-bound golfers who are willing to travel a little out of the way to play a, well-maintained sub-$50 course with a down-home local feel.
