Sounds like a re-branding.

Tom is correct as it was formerly known as Country Club of the Crystal Coast.  I too had never heard of it but their superintendent, Andy Ipock was this month's guest on our chapter's (Carolinas GCSA) podcast.  He talks a little about the former and current ownership during his tenure.

Played it years ago and enjoyed it. A course on a small footprint highlighted at the time by the large windswept oaks. Where the oaks separated fairways the windward fairway was open, the leeward you played under and around the trees. We have had numerous large coastal storms since. I will play it again if in the area.
