Wild Wing – Avocet Course

Winding through the luscious landscape of tall pines, Wild Wing Plantation is every golfer’s paradise. Designed as a signature course by the team of Jeff Brauer and Larry Nelson, the Avocet presents creative contouring, elevated tees and greens, double fairways, grass bunkers and even a double green serving 2 holes. The Avocet was recognized by Golf Digest as among “1994 Top 10 Best New Courses in America,” as well as being consistently rated a 4-star recipient since 1996 in its “Places to Play” guide.  Golfweek has ranked Avocet at Wild Wing as #6 in South Carolina in their 1995 “America's Best Golf Courses” listing.

Number 14 on Wild Wing’s Avocet course is considered by most as its signature hole.  From its elevated teeing ground, this hole gives players the option to be aggressive and try to drive the green, or lay up in one of its two fairways.   With water on the right, deep trees on the left, and a hog’s-back green, No. 14 provides everyone with a challenge. A close second to this hole would be the double green shared by Holes #6 and #17. With multiple pin locations on each hole, this double green will provide everyone with lots to talk about after the round.

Great track! Not as pristine as it many years ago, but a really nice layout. Course was in pretty good shape. Greens ran well, though have a blend of grasses on them.

After reading the writeups for Wildwing our group decided to schedule a tee time there for our spring trip to the grand strand. We were told at the clubhouse that the course played the full 18 with no turn after 9 holes so take what we needed for snacks etc. but the cart girl would be around on the course. We were lucky we at least grabbed a hot coffee and water since the temp. was in low 40\'s. After playing a number of holes we finally saw a ranger and asked where the beverage cart was. He responded \"oh the cart gal called in sick\"! ( what no backup plan?) A couple holes later we decided to let a twosome ahead of our foursome. A couple holes after that our friendly ranger came around and said he appreciated us letting the twosome go ahead of us but could we pick up our pace so they could get more golfers out. That was a first in over 25 years at MB. ( we were keeping pace until we let the faster twosome ahead of us.) In spite of the fact that the greens were good (fast) and fairways ok, our experience was diminished by the fact that many tee boxes were hard to spot with the short squatty tee markers and the asphalt cart path would rival the worst potholed road in NY state. ( someone told us later in the week that they heard the course was in transition) ( whatever that means). We found it hard to fathom how this could be the second most expensive course we would play that week. So get better T markers, fix the cart paths, hire a sub cart gal, make sure a group is actually slow b/4 ragging on them and make it a good experience for the next group. I know it won\'t be ours!!!

This is a good course and in good condition, but overall a bad experience. We started on time, but quickly found the place of play very slow. At one point on the back nine there were three foursomes waiting to tee off. It took five hours to complete the round, and considering this course does not return you to the clubhouse between nines a five hour round is way too long. The other issue I had was that the sandwich I got from the beverage cart attendant had cheese that was obviously molded, as in cheddar cheese is not supposed to have blue dots all over it. I luckily found the mold when I opened the sandwich to put on mustard and mayonnaise. I got rid of the cheese and ate the ham. The beverage cart was long gone when I discovered the cheese. I live in Murrells Inlet and have been playing golf here (mostly on the south end) 30 years, and this (bad/spoiled food) was a first. I thought I should tell someone in the clubhouse, so after we finished I went to the only attendant I saw in the bar/restaurant and let her know about the sandwich. I thought perhaps she'd offer to refund my money for the sandwich, but she didn't. I didn't make any demand, and inferred maybe she didn't believe me. She asked if I told the beverage cart attendant about it, and I explained I had not, because I didn't find the mold till the beverage cart was gone. I also told the pro in the pro shop about the moldy sandwich, since I thought perhaps he would let someone in authority know. I figured he didn't make the sandwich so maybe he'd tell the head pro or someone in authority. I may have gotten the wrong impression, but to me it seemed nobody cared. Bottom line for me is although it's a nice course, it's not worth the drive to and from based on my recent experience.

course was in really good shape despite some overseeding. good practice facilties. chipping area could have used a little mowing but minor complaint. very playable. hidden gem that is off the beaten path from tourists so always able to get a tee time even last minute and given its location is priced lower than other courses that are of comparable quality, but closer to rte 17. links style that prevents you from returning to clubhouse until round is over but on this saturday we saw the beverage cart 4 times so it works. played in 4hr 20 min

Course is in excellent condition. Long, difficult, challenging but rewarding. One of the better courses in Myrtle Beach. With COVID it will seem like at times you are playing on your own private golf course, especially if you're an afternoon golfer. At $35/round, also one of the best values in Myrtle Beach golfing right now.

The clubhouse and the grounds could have been in better condition. The course had a nice layout but the greens were not great. They had a mower leave oil in lines on multiple greens which caused some significant dead spots and poor putting. If in good condition I would like this course but unfortunately it was considered a low budget course in our group due to general condition and up-keep.

Beautiful course! Plays longer than yardage on the card, but the course was in MAGNIFICENT shape! Great course for $60. Rivals some of the best courses in Barefoot at North Myrtle Beach and at a fraction of the cost. This is the type of high quality golf that is only seen at private courses in New Jersey or courses that would minimally get double the cost or more. This course is a true gem. Fairways and rough were green and lush. No barespots anywhere to be found. The greens rolled true and fast. Find the correct line and pace and you are rewarded for sure. I will play again!

Nice course but horrible pace of play. Starting on the 3rd hole, when spacing between tee times became moot, we waited several minutes on EVERY shot. When we got to (literally) every tee, group ahead was either still waiting to hit or were just teeing off. That is with marshals coming around quite often. We had a lightning delay on 12 where marshal held up play, but irrespective of that, it was a 5 1/2 hour round (lightning delay extended it to over 6 hours). Unacceptable!!!

Nice course and in terrific Conditions. A little long from the senior tees at 6000 yards. It had not rained in a week and they were cart paths only. They came up with some lame excuse that they had sprayed the course, not once in 18 holes did I find anything on my golf ball. There is a hundred course in Myrtle Beach area you don't have to play a course that has no considerations for customers. Why not notify people that they are going to be CPO so they can make their own decision. Staff in club house had an attitude that we asked why CPO, made us feel like we were other in them. More or less said we could go play somewhere else if we wanted. We have 16 golfers that play e times a week and will not return to Wild Wing.

I played this course reluctantly after reading some reviews and seeing a rating somewhere below 8. While I haven't played all the courses on the Grand Strand, I have played 29 of the top rated courses. I can't tell you how impressed I was with this course. The greens were immaculate, rolled perfectly. Couldn't ask for more with the grooming to the fairways and rough. The staff was courteous, professional and prompt. The layout was interesting and fun. This course is on my top five list. We were riding on fairways soon after considerable rain. Don't pass it up. We didn't eat at the grill.

They had too many groups stacked too close together so there was a good bit of waiting. It was 99 degrees and we didn't see the drink cart until the 17th hole. Nice course but wouldn't recommend playing unless you're expecting a 5 hour round and bring your own beverages and ice.

Incredibly slow round. We were on pace for a 5.5 hour round before we gave up and ended the round on #15. According to the ranger, there were no specific groups holding up the course - they recently moved down to 8 minutes between tee times which jams too many golfers onto the course. Everywhere I looked, there were at least 3 groups per hole and often 4. This course seems to be more worried about revenue than player experience.

This was a great layout and I would play it again. There were a few amenities missing, like no beverage cart, no towels or tees on the cart, that would make this a first rate experience.

We played the Avocet on Sunday, September 1st and found the course to be in outstanding shape. The fairways and tee boxes were well manicured and the greens were receptive to approach shots. The greens also were firm and fast which added to the challenge of playing a top course. The staff members (Austin--proshop and Mackey (bag drop) were kind, polite and professional as we check in for the round which only added to the pleasure of playing the Avocet. We enjoyed the variety of holes. Elevated tees and the mounding surrounding the greens made for a beautiful setting for a day of golf. Our favorite hole is the par 5 #15. The rolling terrain, split fairway, elevated tee, and a water hazzard on one side will challenge all levels of golfers. We would definitely return to the Wild Wing as it offers the best value for the money. Add that to courteous service and your day of golf is complete.

The greens not really all that green for all the money spent and articles written about how superb of condition greens at Avocet were. Had just recently been sanded and very slow and somewhat brown ... fairways were nice and I like how the course meanders so you're not really sure what is coming up next. Holes all look different from each other and that's exciting and challenging when playing. I guess my only beef were the greens - just pretty sad for what I was expecting from Avocet and the pictures posted of this course.

I'll get the negative out of the way first. The greens need help. Bentgrass but seem to have Common Bermuda growing in patches on them. While they don't roll too bad, they are definitely not consistent with the condition of the rest of the course. The rest of the course is immaculate! The tee boxes are pristine. The fairways are in excellent condition from tee to green. I played Avocet on Friday and Saturday. Had the first tee time on Friday and was finished in 3:40 playing in a threesome. I was scheduled for the 2nd tee time on Saturday but found that I had to be off the course by 11 a.m. for a commitment that I could not reschedule. Tim and Chuck in the pro shop were great! They got with maintenance and explained my situation and let me go off as a single before the first group. I was done in 2 hr. and 30 min. Very appreciative of their service & efforts in accommodating me. Everyone seems to be having issues with greens with the heat and lack of rain and the positives definitely outweighed the green conditions. I played King's North for almost double the price and would have much rather played Avocet 3 times. Get out and play it!

Fairways like a green carpet. Better than a lot of greens. Starter asked if it was our first time at Wild Wing. As it was, he took the time to give us some pointers on how to play the course and suggested we play from the White Tee boxes. He was spot on, as we are not long hitters and the course can play long from the back tees. As it was a hot day, it was great to find that they have a cooler on each car filled with iced water (DASANI 6 oz. bottles at no charge!!!). Will play it again next time I am in town. Easy to find right off 501 near Conway. Also note that it is a No Return lay out, 1 thru 18 - no way for a stop off after the first 9. Put a snack in your bag and a drink if you want more than just COLD water.
