Great conditions for OBX winter golf.

Overall, the course is in great shape. The greens rolled fairly true. The rough is lower than normal and lays down in its dormant state. Some people me not like how thin their ball may lay in the fairway but I have no problem with that. Bunkers were raked. Tee boxes weren't too beat up with divots. Please fix your ball marks otherwise stay away from this course because it deserves to be maintained to maximize enjoyment for all. I love the water views here.

This course is beautiful and yet challenging.

This course is short ( perfect for me) and has beautiful layout, lots of water view which adds to the ambiance. It’s off season and the course is well maintained. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Windy Course

Course was in good condition, the wind made it challenging. Best to play from the Blue tees. A short course but some holes were tight & narrow .Being the first time, not having local knowledge , made a few poor club selections off the tee. Did not need to use Driver on some of the shot holes.
Again course was in good conditions, would play it again!

Beautiful day for golf but breezy

The course was in immaculate condition but plays tough in the breezy conditions( it is a links course though, so expected), a few blind shots will throw you off if your not familiar with the layout but overall a beautiful course, well conditioned and the greens were very nice!

What a gem!

This was my first time playing here. What a great experience! The staff was unbelievably friendly (everyone from the bartender to the shop pro to the course maintenance individuals). Beautiful views, receptive greens, but plenty of "trouble" to make it interesting! If you can place your shots and not just "bomb away" this course is for you. Play management is essential to score. Try it out! You won't be disappointed!

Great shape

This course is in great shape tee to green. Greens were receptive to shots so you can really go after pins. You might have to fix an extra ball mark or two because they get a good amount of play being the closest course to the southern half of the Outer Banks. Be warned that if the wind is above 25 mph, the teeth really come out. Wayward shots are heavily penalized as in lost ball. Hole#4 might be the most tricked up. The tee shot is either over the hazard or layup short but It varies 25 yards depending on which side of the fairway you land. Par 4 Hole#12 is a blind tee shot that will make long drivers curse and demands a long second shot up hill that a lot of players may find too challenging. Hole#5. #9 and #18 (2 par 5s and a par 4) are the most scenic in the OBX. The Sound runs along the entire length. Negatives include a limited flight range, modest putting green, and lack of short game practice area. I can get over that. If you can't, the nearest decent facility is The Pointe roughly 30 minutes away. Rates are the 2nd highest around. Currituck club holds that spot and both managed by the same company. I truly enjoy the layout even though it's set within the waterside neighborhood. The homes look kept up. I've never eaten here so I can't comment on food. If you're good with the price and appreciate water views, the shot value is there. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
