Golf was born among salt and sand, and the long, winding coast of North Carolina will provide you the taste of sea air and challenge of coastal winds that mark the game’s Scottish heritage. Experience true links-style play along the Outer Banks where courses such as Nags Head Golf Links and Rees Jones’ Currituck Club wind along the water, while wetlands surround scenic Kilmaric.
Along the state’s Crystal Coast, enticing courses such as North River Club, Star Hill and Brandywine Bay, are framed by water and maritime forests. Meander south toward the historic port city of Wilmington where the municipal course is a 1926 Donald Ross original.
Farther down US 17, laid-back Fred Couples displays a mean streak at Carolina National as you ease into Brunswick County where more than 30 courses await, crafted by such renowned designers as Arnold Palmer, Hale Irwin and Willard Byrd. After indulging in seafood-capital Calabash’s fresh fish fare, you owe it to yourself to challenge the mammoth 767-yard 18th at Farmstead, just to say you have. It’s all part of just coasting along the Atlantic edge of North Carolina.
