Hamm is best known as a golf course designer of courses in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and New York. Since designing his first 9-hole course in 1949, he has designed and oversaw the building of over 60 courses. In 1955, Hamm helped build the Duke University Golf Course in Durham, North Carolina, with Robert Trent Jones. He moved to Delaware to continue work with Jones, and then in 1959 moved back to Raleigh where he began his own design career. Many of his notable courses are located in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Hamm died in 2016 at the age of 93. (en) |
