Sunset Beach sits at the southern tip of North Carolina's Brunswick Islands, where the state brushes up against the South Carolina border and the Intracoastal Waterway threads between the mainland and a chain of barrier islands. The area has grown into one of the Carolinas' more concentrated golf corridors, with dozens of courses packed into a relatively compact stretch of coastline — a region that draws visitors as much for its fairways as for its beaches.
The name Bay To Sand suggests a layout that moves through the coastal geography rather than simply sitting on top of it — the kind of design where water and sandy waste areas define risk and reward rather than serve as decoration. A par 71 typically signals at least one fewer par 5 than a standard layout, which often means a course that rewards precision and course management over raw distance.
Sunset Beach's flat, sandy terrain and mild Carolinas climate make for comfortable year-round play, with bermudagrass fairways and the salt-tinged air that comes with being just minutes from the Atlantic.
