TPC Enters Marketing Agreement with the Myrtle Beach National Company
The Tournament Players Club of Myrtle Beach (TPC) announced recently that it has entered into a marketing agreement with The Myrtle Beach National Company, one of Myrtle Beach area’s oldest and largest golf course management companies.
Designed by acclaimed architect Tom Fazio, TPC opened in 1999 and hosted the Senior Tour Championship in 2000. In 2006, TPC was awarded five stars by Golf Digest in their “Places to Play” guide, the only course on the Grand Strand to receive the honor in the ranking’s 46-year history.
As of part of the agreement, Myrtle Beach National will include TPC in Myrtle Beach National’s extensive and exclusive programs including www.mbn.com, www.myrtlebeachgolf.com, and inclusion in special golf packages. TPC will continue to manage the 18-hole facility and clubhouse.
“This is a tremendous opportunity to market TPC of Myrtle Beach to golfers around the world,” said Chip Smith, owner, TPC of Myrtle Beach. “Myrtle Beach National is one of the industry leaders in golf marketing and this partnership allow us to still handle the management of TPC while they lead the marketing efforts.”
