International Club

What International Club does

International Club of Myrtle Beach operates a single-asset golf and hospitality business in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, consisting of an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Willard Byrd and The Venue, a full-service restaurant and bar. The venue is located on the South Strand near the historic MarshWalk, positioning it to capture both dedicated golf travelers and local/visiting diners. Each hole features plaques highlighting countries and cultures, providing a distinctive international thematic identity within a competitive regional golf market.

The core product surface spans golf rounds (tee times booked via an omnitech.golf engine and Myrtle Beach Golf Trail packages), course amenities including GPS Bluetooth-enabled carts and a large practice putting green, restaurant and bar service with happy hour and live entertainment programming, and private event hosting for birthdays, showers, rehearsal dinners, cocktail receptions, and golf outings with catering. Technology is operational rather than differentiated — standard POS, online ordering through LightSpeed, GPS cart fleet, and conventional digital marketing — with no proprietary software or AI systems in evidence.

The business model is purely transactional and consumer-facing: per-round green fees, per-cover food and beverage, per-event catering quotes, and bundled package commissions through the Myrtle Beach Golf Trail channel. Pricing for green fees and menu items is not publicly listed. Customers are segmented into golf enthusiasts (primary), local community and visitors dining at The Venue (primary), and event hosts (secondary). The company operates under East Coast Golf Management as parent/management company and is privately held with no institutional investors or public ownership disclosed.
