Here, the game seems to embody the ideal envisioned by those who endure its occasional humiliations to share in its heady triumphs.

3 Golf. Simply the word alone is enough to evoke varied emotions in those who love the game. In fact, the great game was the perfect transplant from its seaside origins in Scotland to the salty breezes and mild climate of NC s Brunswick Islands. Here, the game seems to embody the ideal envisioned by those who endure its occasional humiliations to share in its heady triumphs. With more than 30 of the world s finest courses, these barrier islands and their accompanying mainland have become a place where those who revel in the heritage, the play and the camaraderie of a game, a hole or a shot well-played can find their fulfillment. That is what has made our sliver of oceanside real estate NC s Golf Coast. Official publication of the Brunswick County Tourism Development Authority 1

7 Don t be intimidated. After all, they came here and worked their own magic with you in mind. Palmer, Byrd, Maples, Jones, Cate, Couples they all came and drew their inspiration from a unique landscape of marshes and inlets, the sweep of the Intracoastal Waterway, the oaks festooned with moss and the sibilant hiss of sea breezes in the long-needled pines. And they designed breathtakingly beautiful courses which, taken together, offer as fine a definition of coastal golf as you are likely to find anywhere. With so many to select from more than 120 miles of fairways it s possible to play a course a day for a month and never repeat a hole. Which helps explain why many of the bonds created on our links are renewed again and again, year in and year out. 5

13 Believe it or not, even the most avid player needs an occasional change of scene. And NC s Brunswick Islands has them. Behind the broad expanse of beaches that fades seamlessly into the waves lies a separate world of marshes, creeks and inlets. These waters teem with a variety of wildlife, including waterfowl, fish and other aquatic life that can be easily accessed by kayak, canoe or boat. If you can t bring your own craft, our local outfitters can fix you up with whatever you need. If you re seeking a bigger challenge, you might try booking one of our local fishing charters to take a crack at the game fish that inhabit the waters from inshore out to the fabled Frying Pan Shoals and beyond.

23 The greats of the game have written their inscriptions up and down the coast and inland groves of NC s Brunswick Islands. But there s one course designer with local roots you may not know as well as you should. Course architect and NC s Golf Coast resident Tim Cate studied under Willard Byrd before putting his own name up there with the other immortals. Renowned along the coast for his sustainable designs, Cate maintains that, Unlike South Carolina, this is a unique region with a bit of roll to the land which provides some wind break off the water and opportunities for interesting layouts. We suggest taking Cate at his word and taking a broad sample of the courses of NC s Golf Coast. We think you ll agree. 21
