  Golf / Golfing on the Outer Banks  
 

 

    

Hatteras Island is a beautiful "beach" location. We have lots of saltwater, sand, and plenty of wind. In the mind of the really dedicated golfer, these are probably just elements that create an interesting challenge and might tack on a few strokes. The fact is that if we had a regulation course on the island (and we don't) it would probably be the most difficult you have ever played. Your score would probably be more dependant on the existing weather on the day you play than your actual skill level. However, since Hatteras Island is a National Seashore under the control of the National Park Service it is extremely doubtful that we will ever again see a golf course here on the island. No worries

   When visitin Frisco, NC you won't need to leave your golf clubs at home.

That doesn't mean you need to leave your clubs at home! Within "driving range" we have several nice courses available for all levels of golf enthusiasts. One of my favorites is the beautifully manicured Kilmarlic Golf Club located off Hwy. 158 at Powells Point. Nestled among 605 acres of maritime forest, protected wetland marshes. and coastal ponds this spectacular course has been chosen to host the state's top professional and amateur golfers in both 2004 and 2009 for North Carolina Open. This picturesque course offers the Outer Bank's most incredible blend imaginable both of golf and nature . 

Even though it is a bit of a drive from Hatteras Island, I believe that you will find it was well worth the effort. However, in order to obtain the time you require please be sure to reserve your tee times well in advance.

You can even book your discounted tee times at Kilmarlic through the Golf Channel's GolfNow.com program.
 
 
 

Kilmarlic offers one of NC's most beautiful and picturesque coastal golf courses.

The course at Nags Head Golf Links was designed to delight players of all abilities. In addition to offering remarkable views, its idyllic setting along the banks of the historic Roanoke Sound provides a temperate climate, which yields outstanding course conditions year-round.

When many people refer to the Outer Banks, they use the term “Nags Head” to generically describe the area. The truth of the matter is that Nags Head was first a physical location on a map, then a township and, finally, the most recognizable of all the northern Outer Banks vacation destinations.

Featured in Golf Digest, Southern Links and GolfWeek, Nags Head Golf Links is a perennial favorite and an authentic glimpse at golf the way it was meant to be.

Vacationers and locals alike love Nags Head Golf Links for more than just our award-winning course. Our fabulous Links Grille serves up some of the tastiest lunch specials and best sunset views on the Outer Banks. And it’s no secret that our full-service bar is a great place to relax and unwind after a long day on the course.

We also boast the best golf shop on the beach, with a friendly staff ready to help you choose from our great selection of name brand equipment and apparel.

Consider Nags Head Golf Links your game improvement resource as well. Our experienced PGA professionals offer instructional clinics all summer long and affordable private lessons year-round. Our picturesque location also includes a convenient practice green and Cayman driving range.
