Does your ideal vacation include unwinding and relaxing on island time while playing a different championship course every day?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Are you looking for fewer crowds and more open tee times when planning your next golf-buddy\u2019s getaway or family vacation? <\/em><\/p>\n

\u2026 then the barrier islands of Brunswick County offer limitless possibilities and a very different experience on the Grand Strand than nearby Myrtle Beach.<\/p>\n

Affectionately known as North Carolina\u2019s Golf Coast, this region stretches southwest from Wilmington NC along the Atlantic coast line to Calabash and the Carolina Shores to South Carolina\u2019s border. It\u2019s an area comprised of maritime forests, inter coastal waterways, pristine beaches and natural preserves that form the foundation for more than 30 outstanding golf courses, all within 15 minutes striking distance of one another.\u00a0 With a temperate climate and a variety of charming B & Bs, affordable hotels, \u00a0\u00a0inns and vacation rental homes, scenic attractions and some of the best seafood in the world, Brunswick Islands are truly a golfer\u2019s never ending playground.<\/p>\n

If you hail from the northeastern part of the US or the eastern provinces of Canada you easily drive here in a day but if you are as fortunate as I was to fly into Wilmington NC then, more than likely, you can play the same day that you arrive at Cape Fear National<\/a> , a short ten minute hop from the airport.<\/p>\n

\"Cape<\/a>

Cape Fear National<\/p><\/div>\n

Opened in 2010, this newest area course has already received plenty of accolades including a listing in the \u201cBest New Courses\u201d category by a number of the major American golf publications. Despite its somewhat intimidating name, Architect Tim Cate designed Cape Fear National with a gently rolling layout that meanders its way through the delta marshland of the Brunswick Forest.\u00a0 Every hole has water or wetland to contend with and the natural grasses that line the fairways ensure that you will lose at least a couple of balls, as I can attest to.\u00a0 The conditioning here is superb with great sand in the bunkers and huge greens that average around 14,000 square feet.\u00a0 With a slope of 143 and a course rating of 74.5 from the tips on this par 72, as their moniker infers, I would suggest that you play from one of the five sets of tee blocks that best suits your game and hit \u2018em straight.\u00a0 18 holes rates with cart range from $80-100USD.<\/p>\n

\"Sandpiper<\/a>

Sandpiper Bay<\/p><\/div>\n

We then headed about 40 miles southwest on I-70 to check out a number of great tracks and play Sandpiper Bay Golf and Country Club<\/a>.\u00a0 This 27-hole complex recently replaced all their greens with MiniVerde turf and was justly rewarded for its\u2019 efforts by being voted the \u201c2010 Myrtle Beach Area Golf Course of the Year\u201d.\u00a0 Architect Dan Maples designed some of the holes with a more parkland feeling layout carved out of towering pine trees and others that are more open but protected by water hazards and undisturbed marshland.\u00a0 The greens here are quite a bit smaller but the positioning of the tee blocks make it one of the most women-friendly courses in the area.\u00a0\u00a0 Unfortunately I found the sand in the bunkers to be much coarser than the areas fabled white sand that is said to be on par with Augusta National\u2019s.\u00a0 Green fees with cart are $66 to 90USD depending on the time year.<\/p>\n

\"Brunswick<\/a>

Brunswick Plantation<\/p><\/div>\n

A short ten minutes away was the Brunswick Plantation & Golf Resort<\/a> where we couldn\u2019t resist squeezing in another 18 holes on the Magnolia and Dogwood courses but the Azalea course would have to wait for another day. \u00a0All three of the courses are in pristine condition and unique in their own way.\u00a0 Azalea features towering Carolina pines and several large lakes while the Dogwood has more hardwood trees and hazards created by the many intersections of the Caw Caw Creek.\u00a0 In contrast the Magnolia nine offer you a links-style experience. \u00a0\u00a018 holes with cart are between $40 and $80USD.<\/p>\n

\"More<\/a>

More Brunswick Plantation<\/p><\/div>\n

Each nine meanders through a well-established housing development where you can see that everyone in this community exudes a pride of ownership but their proximity does not interfere with your golf game.\u00a0 And, we did get a chance to check out the on-site villas and condos to see what makes this resort a perennial favorite and fantastic base for any of us Northerners.\u00a0 \u00a0Besides location, location, location, these self-contained units are up-to-date, well-maintained and come with all the amenities you need to enjoy your home away from home!<\/p>\n

\"Brunswick<\/a>

Brunswick Plantation Villas<\/p><\/div>\n

If you \u2018want to have a foot in both camps\u2019 then check out the nearby Farmstead Golf Links<\/a> that straddles the North and South Carolina state border.\u00a0 There are a number of memorable holes here but by far the most unique one has to be the 18th<\/sup> hole, the only par 6 on the Grand Strand, where you tee off in South Carolina and finish off some 767 yards back in North Carolina. But be forewarned, every hole on this William Byrd designed course features water so come prepared or risk being humbled!\u00a0 Green fee are $49-$89USD and include a power cart.<\/p>\n

\"Farmstead\"<\/a>

If you\u2019re interested in \u2018big game\u2019 then you won\u2019t want to miss playing one or more of Ocean Ridge Plantation<\/a> \u00a0four, soon to be five championship 18-hole courses including Panther\u2019s Run, Lion\u2019s Paw, Leopard\u2019s Chase and the newest member Jaguar\u2019s Lair which is actually a masterpiece in the making slated to open soon.<\/p>\n

\"Tigers<\/a>

Tigers Eye<\/p><\/div>\n

On this trip, I managed to claw my way around the Tiger\u2019s Eye Golf Links<\/a> which continues to be voted one of the \u201cTop 100 U.S. Public Golf Courses\u201d and my personal favorite this time around.\u00a0 Walking up the clubhouse entrance staircase I was immediately struck by the panoramic view from the covered veranda and knew that I was in for something special.\u00a0 \u00a0Here Tim Cate has taken maximum advantage of the land\u2019s natural setting giving each hole a unique personality so be sure to bring your camera. There are generous, fast-paced, undulating greens including the intimidating Island green on the par three 11th<\/sup> hole surrounded by native Coquina boulder bulkheads.\u00a0 All the holes offer well tree-lined rolling fairways but the back nine features over sixty feet of elevation change, five holes where water must be carried, a par 3 island green and a very picturesque waterfall just left of the 18th<\/sup>tee. \u00a0With five sets of tees ranging from 4,502 to 7,014 Tiger\u2019s Eye caters to all levels of skill and has been carefully designed for those who choose to walk.\u00a0 \u00a0My only wish is that I could have played all of the other \u201cCat Courses\u201d so definitely one more reason to return to the Brunswick Islands.\u00a0 18-hole rates with cart range from $80 to $120USD depending on the course and time of year.<\/p>\n

\"More<\/a>

More Tigers Eye<\/p><\/div>\n

And if that\u2019s not enough, try as I might I couldn\u2019t get my fill of fresh seafood whether dining at fabulous restaurants in self-proclaimed and aptly named \u201cThe Seafood Capital of the World\u201d – Calabash \u2013 made famous for its unique style of lightly battering and quick frying clams and oysters to lock in the delicious flavor or making a purchase from a shrimper and then heading home to grill our \u2018catch\u2019 to perfection on our back-deck BBQ.<\/p>\n
