1000 Wild Wing Blvd • Myrtle Beach, SC 29526

The Avocet Course at Wild Wing Plantation, was designed as a signature course by the team of Jeff Brauer and Larry Nelson. Avocet presents creative contouring, elevated tees and greens, and an all around uniqueness that cannot be matched. Golf Digest has awarded this course 4 STARS in their prestigious “Places to Play” course rankings.

The opening hole, a 402-yard par-4, sports grass depressions in lieu of sand bunkers around the green. The par-4 sixth hole features a three-tiered, double green shared with the par-3 17th. The 362-yard ninth, considered by many to be the signature hole, has a double fairway bisected by a line of grass and sand pot bunkers. Each hole is memorable due to the enjoyment and playability of each one. The South Carolina Golf Course Owners Association named The Avocet Course at Wild Wing Plantation South Carolina’s 2002-2003 Golf Course of the Year.
