Golfcourse.com Review: This is a links-style course where the wind plays a major factor, so be prepared to use every club in your bag. One of the course's best assets is the quality of the putting surfaces. The greens are considered the finest on the East Coast by the club's personnel. The fairways are wide open, and water hazards come into play on 12 holes. The signature hole, located next to Currituck Sound, is #6, a 454-yard, par 4, requiring a blind tee shot over a pond to a fairway whose right side is lined with wetlands and sand bunkers, then an approach shot to a kidney-shaped and undulating green.
Avg. Golfcourse.com Player Review: 4.6/5.0. Almost all rave reviews, lots of mentions of big, very fast greens, good condtions, nice layout, windy. Ignore the yardages and play your regular tees. One guy called the layout mediocre, one complaint about rude staff, a couple mentions about pace of play during high season, although one guy said his twosome played in 3.5 hours in mid-May.
Best Bar Nearby: Keeler's Grill on-site draws locals who aren't even playing golf.
