Wild Wing Plantation - Avocet Course

We Didn't feel the course was anything special just an ok course and a little pricy.

We had played Wild Wing a couple years ago and enjoyed the round. We looked forward to playing again, and were very disappointed with the condition of the course when we played this past Sunday.. The fairways were not in the best of shape and the greens were very inconsistent, and the worst we had played all week. To make matters worse,, the pace of play was terrible (5+ hrs) with no marshals moving pace along. We still think the course layout is great and wiould like to play it again if the course conditions improve.

We got there in plenty of time. No one rushed us to the 1st T. We got all the warm up we needed. I was able to use a Golfpass member deal. So, we played for about $88. We were very excited to play this course, as it was recommended with a lot of hype. The front 9 conditions were just okay. A little scruffy. A lot of water grass (weedy grass) throughout. The layout was good, not spectacular. Big bunkers that were in good shape. Now the back 9. Wow 👌. A really good layout. The bunker layout was spectacular. Huge and deep. You definitely did not want to be in them. The course conditions improved greatly. At the end of the round, the course kicked my butt 😚 So overall, we were happy 😊 & satisfied. We just thought it was overpriced. Had we payed the $115 total normal price I wouldn't have been happy with that. I get it, they charge what they can. But if you claim to be an elite course. Your conditions should be pristine for all 18 holes. Not just 9. Most of the greens were pretty good. But the par 3 #12 was a train wreck. Almost not playable. Staff friend. The kitchen closed early. And the Proshop merchandise was very pricey.

When you play in Myrtle Beach it’s not inexpensive. You want to play your best. We arrived at Wild Wing and checked in. I asked for range balls ant the shop person said sarcastically “no we can’t do that”. I thought he was joking. He said the picker was broken so I asked if there was a discount and he said they were in the business of selling golf not range balls. We should have just left at that point but we stayed. I then went to the cart to look at the score card but it was missing. I then went back into the pro shop and asked for one and was told the starter would give it to me in a rude voice We will never be back to Wild Wing again.

Everything was great, except the greens that were not in good shape; I saw more beautiful greens on other courses. We still have enjoyed our day with 2 nice partners from Myrtle Beach.

Course was in good condition

Pace of play was horrible

5 hours is unacceptable

Don’t let the negative reviews scare you.we just played it and it’s in excellent shape some places on a few greens but will not effect your game they are working on them.the course is a great track and will challenge you

Larry Nelson did a fabulous job in the design. A couple of holes reminded me of Lahinch in Ireland. The greens were less than perfect but ok. I’ll be back

Called the pro shop to ask about course conditions. The staff on the phone said that the course was in excellent shape. What their excellent looked like was bare spots on the greens and weeds in the rough. Okay, weeds in the rough, no big deal. But the greens were in bad shape. They won’t get my money again.

Thoroughly enjoyed playing Wild Wing Avocet. It was a slow day so I ended up playing by myself which allowed me to hit additional shots and work on my game. Great tips from the Starter, really appreciated him taking the time to review key holes. Sorry don't have his name but I remember he was from Pittsburgh.

Loved the course layout; good mix of short and long holes as well as forced carries kept things interesting. Greens were a little slow. All in all I felt the course was in very good shape but still needs a little love. Great staff, good course, just a little more tender care would be much appreciated. BTW, good job with the bunkers (I found a few) and amazingly, looks like most golfers used the rakes.

Course was good but greens were not real good. Putted fine but were slow and had some bad areas.

Excellent test for mid-or-low handicappers. The variety of holes made play fun and interesting. My wife had problems on a few holes because of forced carries, but still enjoyable
