Brunswick Plantation

What Brunswick Plantation does

Brunswick Plantation & Golf Resort is a private, gated golf course community and resort in Calabash, North Carolina, founded in 1991 by Caw Caw Land Corp., Inc. (founding members Jimmy McLamb, Mason Anderson, and G. Tripp Sloane III). The core asset is a 27-hole championship layout designed by William Byrd and refined by Clyde Johnston, comprising three distinct nine-hole courses (Azalea, Dogwood, Magnolia) that can be combined into multiple 18-hole rounds; the property has been voted one of the top 50 courses in the United States.

The resort generates revenue across six streams: green fees and golf memberships, short-term villa and home rentals (~1,000 units in studio through three-bedroom configurations), bundled stay-and-play packages that incorporate more than 70 nearby Grand Strand courses, on-site dining (Champions Grille, The 19th Hole, Hickory Shaft Bistro), PGA professional golf instruction, and weddings/events. Real estate activity — developer sales and resales of single-family homes, luxury townhomes, and condominiums — is run through a wholly owned subsidiary, Brunswick Plantation Homes & Real Estate, LLC. Day-to-day operations are managed by Heritage Golf Group, evidenced by staff email domains and career page references.

Distribution is direct-to-consumer through the website, phone reservations (800-332-8576), and an integration with the teeitup.golf tee-time platform, with packages marketed at $203-$372 per person and direct booking promoted at up to 35% savings versus OTAs. The community spans more than 1,750 acres and serves four primary segments — golf enthusiasts, vacationing families, active retirees/home buyers, and golf members — under a hybrid segmentation approach anchored on a 1,800+ property owner base.
