Founders Group International is introducing a new golf concept to the Myrtle Beach market.
The Bridge, a covered, open-air driving range facility with 16 hitting bays equipped with Toptracer technology, will soon open at International World Tour Golf Links.
Each bay will have monitor screens displaying Toptracer-tracked ball flights and other information, and artificial turf mats.
“We’ve been trying to do this for years. This is probably over four years in the making,” said Matt Daly, director of operations for FGI, which owns and operates 21 Grand Strand golf courses including World Tour.
“Just with the growth of the game and growth of Topgolf, we looked at it as an opportunity to bring Topgolf to the golf course and just be able to have that as an enhanced feature,” Daly said. “We’re excited and we want to utilize if for growing the game and we want to utilize it for getting more people to hang at the golf course longer. I think it’s poised to do really well at World Tour.”
World Tour is located off River Oaks Boulevard, not far from the U.S. 501 bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway, so it is centrally located in the Myrtle Beach area.
“We couldn’t think of a better place than World Tour,” Daly said. “It’s a good location and all the holes are inspired by other holes throughout the world and the Toptracer Technology piece kind of fits the World Tour model.”
It will have a soft opening as early as next week, with a grand opening celebration possibly on Father’s Day weekend, which also coincides with the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills in Southampton, N.Y., from June 18-21, or thereafter.
