By Robbie Wooten — May 09, 2019

North Carolina’s golf panel has named Nags Head in the Outer Banks the No. 2 golf course getaway in the state. Visit the OBX to see what earned the recognition.

The state’s most authoritative source for golf course rankings — in North Carolina, a place often associated with some of the nation’s best courses — has weighed in. The Outer Banks boasts the No. 2 golf getaway and top coastal excursion in North Carolina.

When 135 members of the esteemed North Carolina Golf Panel, founded in 1995, considered where they would plan a three-day golf trip within the state using only public and semi-private courses, their choices followed a clear path.

After Pinehurst, with No. 2, No. 8 and Pine Needles, the panel chose the Outer Banks for a golf trip featuring three courses ranked among the Top 50 You Can Play in North Carolina: No. 36 Nags Head Golf Links, along with nearby Currituck Club and Kilmarlic Golf Club.

Golf in North Carolina’s storied Outer Banks brings together an impressive mix of enjoyable, affordable, high-quality courses, paired with distinctive places to stay and an abundance of activities beyond the course. Together, those elements have helped make the Outer Banks a mini-Mecca sportsman’s paradise.

A well-known saying attributed to Cahoon’s Grocery and Variety Store in Nags Head is used to express the idea that the OBX has what visitors need. Applied to golf, the same spirit fits. With true barrier island links courses and modern inland parkland layouts, the region offers so much variety that golfers have little reason to look elsewhere.

Each round at historic Nags Head Golf Links presents golfers with a fresh test. Designed by Bob Moore, Nags Head runs along the inner waterway at the southern end of the Outer Banks, where shifting breezes from the sound-side waters shape a different golf experience every day. Coastal winds, rugged shoreline, island holes, seaside views, and tees and greens set among rolling dunes and wild seagrass give Nags Head a strong resemblance to the famed Scottish golf links.
