Make your clubs sing in the sun at one of North Carolina’s finest year-round public courses. Gentle ocean breezes and the snap of salt air remind you that you’re playing your favorite game on an island sandbar, far from the usual greens. You’ll find golf courses on the Outer Banks complex enough to challenge more experienced players, but inviting enough to try for the first time.

Below are golf courses and country clubs on the Outer Banks open to the public for the perfect OBX golf day.
