Course Description
This course, which is less than half a mile from the ocean, which provides golfers with a nice breeze on most days, has large greens and yeild 6903 for the back fees. A nice feature that allows for bump and run approach shots is that most of the greenside bunkers (NOT TRAPS) are on the sides and back of the greens. Watch out for the numerous large pampas grass plants that dot the fairway. You may think you are playing in the marshlands when you go try to extract your golfball when you make an errant shot. Most of the pine tree berm areas surrounding the fairway have open shots to the fairways and greens with the absence of underbrush to spoil your shot making . This course while not the most difficult course in the Myrtle Beach Area, still provides a nice challenge to all skill levels. Azalea Sands is highly recommended as an excellent starter course to get used to beach conditions.
