Wild Wing Golf Courses Now Under MBN Management

The Myrtle Beach National Company, one of the Myrtle Beach area’s oldest and largest golf course ownership/management companies, announced that it will assume management of the golf courses at Wild Wing Plantation, located in Myrtle Beach. The management agreement with Myrtle Beach National does not include the Wild Wing Plantation real estate development.

The Myrtle Beach National Company will oversee the outside operations, pro shop, maintenance and marketing of Wild Wing, which consists of the 18-hole Avocet course, designed by Larry Nelson and Jeff Brauer, and the nine-hole Hummingbird course, a Willard Byrd design.

Both Wild Wing courses received four stars in the latest Golf Digest’s “Places to Play” guide and the facility was also named as the “2002-03 South Carolina Golf Course of the Year” by the South Carolina Golf Course Owners Association.

“We are excited that Myrtle Beach National has assumed management of the 27 holes at Wild Wing,” said Lawton Benton, general manager of Wild Wing golf courses. “Myrtle Beach National has created great experiences for golfers for many years and we are committed to a long, successful relationship with them to continue this goal at Wild Wing.”

With the addition of Wild Wing golf courses, the Myrtle Beach National Company now owns and/or manages 13.5 golf courses on the Grand Strand; Aberdeen Country Club; King’s North at Myrtle Beach National, SouthCreek at Myrtle Beach National and the West Course at Myrtle Beach National; Waterway Hills Golf Club; Long Bay Golf Club; Litchfield Golf Club; River Club; Willbrook Plantation, Blackmoor Golf Club, and Wachesaw Plantation East, which was added to the Myrtle Beach National family in August 2009. Eleven of the Myrtle Beach National Company golf courses received four stars or higher in Golf Digest’s “2009-2010 Places to Play” guide.

“This is a tremendous opportunity to work with Wild Wing, two courses enjoyed by golfers of all skill levels,” said Jim Woodring, vice president of golf operations and marketing of Myrtle Beach National Company. “Wild Wing will fit well into our current course operations and we look forward to being directly involved with the day-to-day management of the courses.”
