Currently located in a temporary location at the Long Bay Golf Club, the Greg Norman Champions Golf Academy will expand operations when it relocates to a new location, currently under construction at The Barefoot Golf Resort early next year.

The new location, a 10,000 sq. ft. facility, will serve players at any level of the game, but will reach out to the better players in high school, college, low handicap amateurs and professionals, according to Norman.

With other business interests already established in the Myrtle Beach area, such as the Norman Course at Barefoot Resort, the Reserve Club on Pawley’s Island and Greg Norman’s Australian Grille at Barefoot Landing, Norman said Myrtle Beach was a natural location for the East Coast Headquarters.

“Myrtle Beach is a great place and I have had a lot of association with the area over the last 10 years,” said Norman. “It’s a great place for me and I have some good friends here and some good people here. Barefoot is the perfect location. We are kicking this off at the right place.”
