May 22, 2007, Myrtle Beach, S.C. – Five Myrtle Beach National Company courses were named to the “Carolina’s 100 Must-Play Courses” list which is currently featured in the May issue of GolfStyles Carolina. The magazine’s editorial staff selected 100 public-access courses in South and North Carolina that they felt all golfers should experience during their lifetime.
The five Myrtle Beach National Company courses honored included King’s North at Myrtle Beach National, Litchfield Country Club, Long Bay Club, River Club and Willbrook Plantation.
“Having five of our courses named in GolfStyles Carolina’s list of the Top 100 recognizes the quality of golf that we offer,” said Jim Woodring, vice president of golf operations at Myrtle Beach National. “Selecting the Top 100 golf courses in South and North Carolina is a daunting task and we are proud to have been included on this list. Golfers enjoy playing our courses for their scenic beauty, conditioning, playability and our service with southern hospitality.”
