Azalea Sands Golf Course

Azalea Sands was the very first course I played when I first starting coming to Myrtle Beach almost 40 years ago. The new design was very player friendly. However I had back surgery and had not golfed but a very few times prior to this trip. I really needed to hit practice balls prior to playing and practice some putting,. There is no driving range just nets and mats to warm up on and the putting green was closed. Needless to say I I did my part in speeding up play by picking up after my 5 shot limit. I enjoyed the course and the staff was extremely friendly, treating you as if they were glad you chose Azalea Sands. I will return in September of this year. Next time please hold off the rain and lightening.

I’ve played this course several times now when visiting the area. Compared to other courses twice as expensive, it is an incredible value. Greens were a little slow, but nothing you can’t adjust to. Will be back.

Fairways were ok, greens just aerated, so rough. Granted, it has been dry for a while, but the conditions unaffected by water were not great. Surprise waste areas not noted on gps or maps. Just so so.

It’s a good way to get on a vacation. Greens are really slow, nice and straight easy to get out there and exercise.

Really enjoyed the course. The only thing was that the greens were very slow as they looked and felt like they needed mowed. Course is worth a play.

I realize there has been little rain this year, but course conditions were pretty bad. Not much grass in the fairways, and many of the greens had large sections the had been recently re-sodded, creating impossible putting conditions. I had played the course many years ago, and loved the course then. I hope this year was an anomaly.

No Driving Range

First green (#10) was temp. Not sure what was wrong with original green.

All greens looked and putted like they have not been cut in two days.

Lots of maintenance going on and no one moving out of the way. Rough was extremely rough if you could find your ball.

Very disappointed. Had the feel of a golf course going out of business. Will not be back.

Our foursome arrived 30 minutes early, were sent to the starter 20 minutes late.5-hour round. Greens were horrible, extremely slow.

This is a fun course with a great layout. The fairways were in very good condition, but the greens were very bumpy and very slow. The fringes looked like they were dying. I later learned that they had over fertilized and that’s what caused the problem. One thing that irritated us was when we made the turn, there were two new groups ahead of us. The twosome ahead of us said the starter told them to start on ten. One of the guys was just learning to play, so they let us go ahead of them. The group ahead of them was a foursome that was obviously new to the game. After waiting more than ten minutes to tee off, we just went around them. Everything was great after that. Upon finishing our round, we went to the bar for a drink and were served by the nicest lady you’d ever want to meet. She was the bartender you wish you could have waiting on you wherever you went. And I told her so.

The course overall was in good shape. The Pro Shop staff and Starter were very friendly.. The fairways are very generous and the greens are fairly large. There are numerous fairway and green side BUNKERS on the course which makes the course very challenging. The pace of play was great. I will definitely play this course again.

Played here this time last year (2025) and the course was in great shape. Unfortunately this year several greens were in rough condition and need some repair and work. Also hole 10 was a temporary green but that wasn’t mentioned upon booking or by the starter or any staff. When it’s in good shape it’s a great value for the money. In the condition it is in now I feel it definitely should’ve been a discounted rate but I would play here again in hopes the course is back in shape like it was in 2025.
