The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A short, charming 9-hole George Cobb design (later reworked by Clyde Johnston) that uses two sets of tees to play as a relaxed 18, threading through centuries-old live oaks with marsh and pond views off Calibogue Sound. A low-key locals’ favorite, not a championship test.
Consistently praised
- Towering, moss-draped live oaks and quiet marsh-and-pond scenery.
- A relaxed, never-rushed pace with an informal, neighborly feel, walkable and doubling to a full round via two tee sets.
Worth knowing
- It is a 9-hole course, so set expectations: charm and ease over length or grandeur.
Golfers recommend
- Treat it as a walking round and play both tee sets to make a full 18.
- A good change of pace if you want golf without the formality of the big-name clubs.
