If golf had a spring break, it would look a lot like the 2025 ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic—and this year, Bushwood Spirits made its debut as the Official Whiskey and Vodka sponsor in unforgettable fashion.
Held at the iconic Dunes Golf & Beach Club, this year’s tournament brought out thousands of golf fans, PGA pros, and Hollywood celebs to South Carolina’s golf capital. It was Bushwood’s first year as the exclusive spirits partner, and from Hole 17’s “Club 17” to the 18 Green Suites, and the Dunes Club Members Tent, our vibe was felt.
Club 17: Where the Party Teed Off
Our home base? Hole 17, better known during the week as Club 17. This was Bushwood territory—custom cocktails, good music, great energy, and nonstop pours of our entire award-winning portfolio, with specialty cocktails featuring our Looper Vodka and Long Ball Gold 7-Year Bourbon. Fans turned the space into a destination, and more than a few hung around for a second (or third) round.
The vibe was electric: part tailgate, part clubhouse, and 100% Bushwood. The crowd brought the energy, and we kept spirits high—literally.
VIP Moments at the Members Tent
Just a few holes away, the Dunes Club Members Tent offered a more refined experience. Guests sipped premium whiskies, and talked shop while watching the action unfold at the 9th green. Elsewhere across the course, our placement in club-level bars ensured that wherever the conversation turned to cocktails, Bushwood was in hand.
Rain or Shine, Spirits Were High
Despite a little rain, the crowd stayed strong. Umbrellas came out, but the energy never dipped. Fans lined the fairways, cocktails in hand, and kept the good vibes going all weekend.
The on-course action delivered, too. Our boy Joel Dahmen and his celeb caddie, Geno Bonnalie, stopped by our tent during the Pro-Am to let us know they had polished off Joel's supply of Bushwood and needed a restock. So, of course we told them... where in town they could go purchase ;). Ryan Fox emerged victorious in a tense playoff. And pros like Harry Higgs sang the Dunes Club’s praises, calling it one of the best stops on tour. We couldn’t agree more.
Big Names, Big Cheers
The event drew star power as well, with names like Kurt Russell, Vanna White, Rob Riggle, and Kevin Costner making a splash at the Pro-Am. Fans got their fill of golf, celebrity, and plenty of great pours.
The Bushwood Effect
This wasn’t just a sponsorship—it was a chance to share the Bushwood experience. We connected with fans, golf lovers, and cocktail connoisseurs, introducing them to what we’re all about: premium spirits made for the course and the clubhouse.
We heard it all weekend: “This is the best drink I’ve had at a golf tournament.” Music to our ears. We are rapidly growing our presence in Myrtle Beach, SC and we had fans asking where they could purchase our spirits locally to stock their home bars!
Already Looking to 2026
As first impressions go, this one was a win. We’re already planning what next year will look like. The Myrtle Beach Classic is here to stay, and Bushwood’s proud to be part of its story from the jump.
Thanks for the memories, Myrtle Beach. See you in 2026—Club 17 will be waiting.
