ABOUT Our foundation: built on trust and excellence
A parent company guiding a portfolio of brands across real estate, residential living, and experience-driven environments.
Who We Are, Where We Came From, and Where We’re Headed
MGVG Enterprises oversees a group of independently operated businesses across real estate development, residential property management, hospitality, tourism, and private club environments. Each brand operates with its own focus and audience while benefiting from shared leadership, resources, and
operational support.
The role of MGVG Enterprises is to provide structure, oversight, and long-term direction. We stay involved where it matters most, including planning, operations, and strategic decision-making, while allowing each company the flexibility to grow within its market. This approach helps maintain consistency across the organization without limiting creativity or independence.
Behind the structure is a team of experienced professionals who keep everything moving. From leadership to on-site staff, our people bring hands-on knowledge across development, property management, hospitality, and event operations. We value accountability, collaboration, and people who take ownership of their work, because the success of each brand depends on the individuals supporting it every day.
As MGVG Enterprises continues to grow, we remain focused on sustainable expansion, meaningful partnerships, and maintaining the standards that define our organization.
Our Brands
Our portfolio brings together distinct brands across development, living, and lifestyle experiences. While each stands on its own, all are guided by the same standards of quality and thoughtful execution.
MGVG Development
WHO WE ARE
MGVG Development brings big ideas to life through projects that strengthen communities and create long-term value. We look beyond the build, considering how each development fits its surroundings, supports the way people live and work, and endures over time.
Every project is guided by thoughtful design, practicality, and purposeful execution. From concept to completion, MGVG Development remains hands-on, ensuring each outcome meets our standard—rooted in experience, integrity, and lasting impact.
MGVG LIVING
WHO WE ARE
MGVG Living was founded on the belief that everyone deserves a place to truly call home. Built on integrity, mutual respect, and a people-first mindset, we provide safe, clean, and affordable housing across Georgia.
What sets MGVG Living apart is a focus on comfort, sustainability, and community — not just buildings. Our properties are thoughtfully designed with modern amenities that make everyday living easier and more enjoyable.
Hurricane Junior Golf Tour
WHO WE ARE
The Hurricane Junior Golf Tour (HJGT) is more than a tournament series—it’s a platform designed to create opportunities for junior golfers nationwide.
Founded in 2007, HJGT has grown into the largest multi-day junior golf tour in the United States, bringing together players ages eight to eighteen to compete on premier courses across the country. Each event is designed to sharpen competitive skills while fostering personal growth, sportsmanship, and community. HJGT remains committed to delivering meaningful experiences, exceptional service, and a diverse event schedule for players of all levels.
COUNTRY CLUB (TBA)
WHO WE ARE
Our upcoming Country Club will offer a private club experience that feels both refined and welcoming. It is a place where members enjoy recreation, social connection, and leisure on their own terms within an elevated yet approachable environment. More than a collection of amenities, the club fosters a sense of community where lifestyle, recreation, and social life naturally come together.
