Windy and fairly cold but enjoyable

The wind along the sound side was probably 20-30 mph so it was quite a challenge on the holes beside the sound. It was also in the 40's when I started to play so it was also rather cold. My first time playing the course and I would love to play it again under better conditions.

Nags Head Golf Course IN February

My rating of the course reflects playing in February. Otherwise, the course was in great shape. Overall, I found it very tight with homes close to the fairways. I didn't hit any so that was good. Given that, a tight course gives you challenges. It would help if a schematic be included with the score card; my good shots found some trouble on a few holes. I should of used my GPS more efficiently. I played in less than 4 hours so that was great. I thought the layout to be challenging for never playing it before. Otherwise, I would certainly recommend a round or more if you are in the area. Totally enjoyed everything. Thanks for having me. Coming from New England it's always nice to be golfing in February.

Gem in January

I played this course once before about 15 years ago always remember the nice scenery of the sound, and all the nature it goes with it. No to the course every time you step up on the Teebox you look at and wonder what club do I tee off with it was less than six holes where driver was needed. If it was even needed then it’s just a shot makers course and a good one at that. The greens were just smokin, if you hit it online it won’t we hit it it just need to worry about speed you’re very fast. Very nice For me as a local winner is the time to play too many tourists in the summer. Looking forward to plan it again here in the next couple weeks.

Fun course

Nags Head is a tricky little fun layout with lots of shot making opportunities. The course is kind of crammed in between the sound and houses, which limits the length of the course. The greens are ridiculously slow. Was told it was so they don’t burnout in the summer, which doesn’t make a lot of sense unless you are managing water. They were probably running at a 7 at best. Highlights were the par 5’s which take advantage of the shoreline and provide some interesting risk reward shots.

Wind Blowing

Great reception at the proshop when I checked in
Starter was very friendly and helpful with hints on the course
They could use a course map with yardage to assist in the playing of the course, especially with the wind blowing hard out of the west (20 mph)
Played along with another single and a twosome in just over 4-1/4 hrs
Will definitely play here again when I am in the area

Great coarse

Very fun and challenging coarse. Greens were well kept fast but predictable. The only problem was there was a backup causing some delays due to golf carts broken down.

I would not hesitate to play this coarse again
