World Tour Golf Links

What World Tour Golf Links does

World Tour Golf Links operates an 18-hole championship golf course at 2000 World Tour Blvd in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, founded in 1999 by designer Mel Graham. The course is differentiated by replicating holes from iconic global venues — including Augusta National's Amen Corner, the island green at TPC Sawgrass, St. Andrews' Swilcan Bridge, Pinehurst, Cypress Point, Winged Foot, and others — allowing visitors to experience famous layouts in a single round without international travel. The property is part of Founders Group International, a network of 21 Myrtle Beach-area courses, and serves individual golfers, Myrtle Beach vacationers, golf groups, corporate outings, and recurring local players. A small management team (11-50 employees) is led by PGA General Manager Brad Crumling, Head Golf Professional Shane Peters, GCSAA Superintendent Scott Grumman, F&B Manager Kelly Kiser, and Director of Player Development Andrew Cheek (PGA Associate, 2022 South Carolina Open champion).

Revenue is generated through multiple streams: per-round green fees starting at $85, two annual membership tiers (Honors Club at $599 first year/$549 renewal and Prime Times Signature Card at $299 first year/$199 renewal) providing access across the 21-course Founders network, on-site food and beverage at the Player's Grille (breakfast, lunch, full bar, group catering up to 70), club rentals at $65 per set, professional instruction, and a 2,500 sq ft pro shop. In July 2026, the company opened The Bridge, Myrtle Beach's only Toptracer Range, adding 16 covered hitting bays with real-time ball tracking, virtual golf on famous courses, and interactive games, expanding the addressable market to entertainment seekers and non-traditional golfers. Distribution runs through direct website booking (TeeTimeCentralOnline), phone reservations (843-236-2000), the MyrtleBeachGolfTrips.com third-party platform, SweetSpot bay bookings, signup.golf tournament registration, and the Founders Group International membership network.

The company markets via Instagram (@WorldTourGolfMB), email newsletter, SEO-optimized course listings, and event-driven channels (weekly Summer Shootouts, FDNY 9/11 Memorial Outing, Bobis Memorial Classic). Public sentiment is strong, with a 4.5/5 rating across 634 verified guest reviews on MyrtleBeachGolfTrips.com. Operational footprint is a single location with no disclosed expansion into new geographies; growth is being pursued through amenity expansion (Toptracer), membership packaging across the Founders network, and bundled multi-round vacation deals (World Tour Rewards, Brewbucks, All-Inclusive, Green Jacket Masters, 3-Round Multi-Deal).

Direct peers

• Bandon Dunes Golf Resort: Bandon Dunes is a destination golf resort built around multiple signature courses attracting traveling golfers. World Tour competes for the same destination-golf traveler with a course concept celebrating the world's most famous layouts.
• Caledonia Golf & Fish Club: Caledonia is a well-regarded public-access course in the greater Myrtle Beach area (Pawleys Island). Direct regional peer competing for the same vacationing and group-golf segments along the Grand Strand.
• Streamsong Resort: Streamsong is a destination golf resort in Florida combining distinctive courses, lodging, and F&B. World Tour is comparable as a one-stop golf destination with on-site dining, instruction, and a range facility rather than as a pure course.
• Legends Golf Resort (Myrtle Beach): Legends is a multi-course public golf resort in Myrtle Beach offering packages, replay cards, and stay-and-play deals. Direct competitive peer for the same tourist, vacation-package, and group-outing segments.
• Sea Pines Resort (Hilton Head): Sea Pines is a Southeast coastal golf destination resort combining multiple courses, villas, and F&B. Comparable as a regional destination-golf venue competing for the same Carolinas/Southeast tourist market.
• Barefoot Resort & Golf (Myrtle Beach): Barefoot is a multi-course Myrtle Beach golf resort with package-driven bookings, on-site amenities, and group event hosting. Comparable on tourism positioning, multi-round package economics, and the same geographic competitive set.
• Topgolf (Topgolf Callaway Brands): Topgolf is the originating provider of the Toptracer Range technology that World Tour has just deployed at The Bridge. Both deliver a tech-enabled, game-driven golf entertainment experience that broadens appeal beyond traditional golfers, but Topgolf operates at much larger dedicated-venue scale.

Broad incumbents

• TPC Sawgrass: TPC Sawgrass's island 17th is one of the holes World Tour has replicated. Both operate single iconic brand-name course destinations with attached F&B and event hosting, though TPC operates at a higher prestige tier.
• Pebble Beach Resorts: Pebble Beach is a globally recognized coastal golf resort and bucket-list destination. World Tour competes in the same bucket-list-traveler segment by offering replicas of iconic holes from this caliber of property in Myrtle Beach.
• Pinehurst Resort: Pinehurst is one of America's most iconic golf destinations and a direct source of inspiration for World Tour's replica holes. Comparable as a multi-course resort destination but at materially higher prestige, scale, and price point.
