About The Sound Golf Links at Albemarle Plantation
The Sound Golf Links sits on the shores of the Albemarle Sound in Hertford, North Carolina, on a Low Country site shaped as much by the landscape as by its architect, Dan Maples. Fairways and greens wind past old marshland and through stands of cypress hung with Spanish moss.
Each hole has its own character, with the closing three running alongside the open water of the sound, giving the finish of the round wide views across the Albemarle.
