The Carolina Club — Local services in Duck

Played here June 2024 while on vacation. Came here as we loved The Pointe Golf Club so much and this is its sister course.

1.) Course was in great shape. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens all in great shape! The course is within a development and much tighter than I had expected, particularly the front 9, back 9 felt more open. Nothing outrageous though, even for me and I am a very very average golfer (100s +/- 8).

Some great bunkers to compete with and challenging holes given a tighter fairway, bunkers, and water....quite a bit of water on this course which does come into play (as opposed to Pointe GC where the water was more decorative than anything)

Cart paths could use some TLC at some parts of the course and the fairways in some areas were under repair, but really didn't effect our play at all.

2.) Practice area is okay. Small range for 7i-wedges. No driver or woods/hybrids. Practice green was standard, there is an area to hit out of the sand as well.

3.) We paid only $79 for the round as we played Pointe GC prior and they gave us $10 off. We didn't even say we played Pointe and they were able to see on their system which was super cool.

All in all for the price pointe it was great, but probably would not spend more than $80 on the round here and...

THE course for locals. It's rated #4 in the country for friendliness for good reason. Nearly perfect conditions 360 days a year. The CC is as challenging as you wish to make it. The scratch golfer from the 'tips' or the octogenarian playing the Red Tees will each enjoy their rounds. Almost everyone plays from the Blues (6000 yds) or the Whites (5500 yds). The Golds will challenge the solid single-digit players.

The welcoming smiles found everywhere make the experience especially memorable. Management and staff go out of their way to exceed your expectations from the minute you arrive in the parking lot. My wife and I have played over 100 rounds a year here for the last 10 years.

For the quality of the course and the friendly ambiance the cost as an annual pass holder may be the best deal in...

I was fortunate enough to find a decent golf course the other day while I was in the outer banks. The Carolina Club had an open tee time with a high price for the 18 holes. All of the staff were nice enough. The course conditions were pretty good but not 5 star material. There are a few rough spots here and there. Greens were adequate. Like I said the prices were a bit high for the conditions of the course, but they have you by the short hirs as they know there are only a few places to golf in the outer banks. Would I play this course again, you ask? ...
