MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — Golf has evolved beyond just what happens on the course, and World Tour Golf Links is embracing that evolution with the opening of The Bridge, a state-of-the-art 16-bay Toptracer range that combines game improvement, entertainment, and social experiences.
The Bridge will celebrate its grand opening July 11, introducing golfers and non-golfers alike to the game’s premier ball-tracking technology. Every shot is captured in real time, providing instant feedback on distance, ball speed, launch angle, shot shape, and more, allowing players of every skill level to practice with greater purpose.
But The Bridge is designed to be much more than a practice facility.
Players can compete in interactive games, challenge friends in closest-to-the-pin contests or play virtual rounds on some of the world’s most famous courses. Whether stopping by before a round, spending an evening with friends, or introducing someone to golf for the first time, The Bridge offers a welcoming environment that blends technology with fun.
“We wanted to create more than just another driving range,” said Shane Peters, World Tour’s head golf professional. “The Bridge is a place where golfers can improve, families can spend time together, friends can enjoy a night out, and people who have never picked up a club can discover just how much fun golf can be.”
The addition also enhances instruction and player development. Andrew Cheek, World Tour’s head teaching professional, can use Toptracer’s detailed shot data to improve lessons, while beginners and junior golfers benefit from immediate feedback that helps accelerate learning.
Beyond practice, The Bridge will serve as a gathering place for group outings, birthday celebrations, corporate events, leagues, and casual get-togethers. The combination of golf, friendly competition, and interactive entertainment creates an appeal that extends well beyond traditional golfers.
For nearly three decades, World Tour Golf Links has offered players the opportunity to play versions of many of the game’s most iconic holes, creating one of Myrtle Beach’s most distinctive experiences. The opening of The Bridge reflects the facility’s continued commitment to providing innovative ways for people to enjoy the game while welcoming new audiences to golf.
“The game continues to evolve, and golfers are looking for experiences that are both enjoyable and engaging,” Peters said. “The Bridge allows us to serve golfers looking to improve while also creating an environment where anyone can come out, have fun, and experience the game.”
