AZALEA SANDS GOLF COURSE
🇺🇸 North Myrtle Beach, SC, USA
Designed by Gene Hamm

Azalea Sands Golf Course is a Gene Hamm design located in North Myrtle Beach, part of South Carolina's Grand Strand golf corridor. Hamm, a regional architect active primarily in the Carolinas during the latter decades of the twentieth century, created numerous courses throughout the area that cater to the region's substantial resort and daily-fee golf market. The course occupies relatively flat coastal terrain typical of the Grand Strand, where sandy soils and natural vegetation provide the setting for straightforward, accessible golf.
The routing at Azalea Sands reflects the practical design approach common to many Myrtle Beach-area courses built to accommodate high rounds of play. The layout incorporates the native pines, palmettos, and azaleas that characterize the Lowcountry landscape, with water features and bunkers defining playing corridors and green complexes. The course serves primarily as a destination for visiting golfers drawn to the concentration of affordable golf options in North Myrtle Beach.
Azalea Sands operates within the competitive daily-fee market of the Grand Strand, where dozens of courses vie for rounds from tourists and golf packages. The facility offers a representative example of the region's golf product: playable conditions, coastal scenery, and value-oriented green fees that have made the Myrtle Beach area one of the most visited golf destinations in the United States. The course remains part of the broader network of public-access layouts that define golf along this stretch of the South Carolina coast.
