The design
You’ll find fairways lined with majestic Carolina pines – but you won’t find homes and condos along the 18-hole course at Beachwood Golf Course. The course’s design and upkeep make it a favorite for vacationers to add to their itinerary for every trip to Myrtle Beach. That’s the idea designer Gene Hamm had in mind when he designed this course for its 1968 opening. Hamm, a former pro in the 1950s and 60s, also engineered the plan for the Duke University golf course.
