About

Nags Head Golf Links sits where the northern Outer Banks narrows toward Roanoke Sound, and the course is built to take advantage of it. This is an 18-hole links-style layout — open, wind-exposed, laid out along the water instead of tucked behind trees — a design more associated with the coasts of the British Isles than the mid-Atlantic, and it's one of the more distinctive rounds of golf on this stretch of the Outer Banks. On the holes closest to the sound, the wind off the water becomes as much a factor as anything in the bag.

Tee Times and Hours

The club is part of the Invited network of clubs, the same group that operates private and semi-private clubs across the country, so it's worth calling ahead to check availability rather than assuming a walk-up round.

Address: 5615 S Seachase Dr, Nags Head, NC 27959
Phone: (252) 441-8073
Open daily, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Because it's a links course, expect firm, fast fairways and fewer hazards than a typical tree-lined parkland layout — the wind does most of the defending here. Morning tee times tend to offer the calmest conditions before the sound breeze picks up later in the day.

Course was great, conditions were good. The starter was very kind (Jim). He even shared some stories with us because we were from out of town for a Bachelor Trip. Well due to chatting we were sent off a few mins late, but ended up catching up to the pace of play around hole 4…. Problem was the ranger (Tom) was very disruptive and his attitude was awful. I know his job is to keep pace of play up especially with a busy day, but him being over the top, giving a crappy attitude, and waiting at EACH hole the first 4 holes to tell us every time to pick it up was over the top. If i could rate the course and everyone else a 5 star i would. Even Grace the cart girl was very tentative. Tom should not work with the public. You shouldn’t pay over 100$ for a round of 18 and have a babysitter each hole giving a poor attitude just bc we were having friendly conversation with the starter at the beginning and were a couple minutes behind. The guys behind us were even cool about it. I would rate Tom 0 stars if i could. All in all, had a good time, good food, good drinks, and nice staff except one bad apple, and i don’t normally leave these reviews but Tom was terrible. I will still continue to recommend this course to anyone coming to OBX, but i will warn them if Tom is working there, just ignore him or you’ll have a poor round with no fun.

Wasn’t planning to play golf on my vacation but I’m glad I did! Booked a tee time for 3:32 August 6th and called the pro shop, Steve was very helpful! I was looking to share a rental set with my brother and Steve said it’d be no problem (he saved me 80 bucks). We ended up finishing all 18 right at sundown which was absolutely perfect! The course played pure, greens rolled true and the fairways were in excellent condition. I will definitely be playing here again the next time I’m in NC, worth every penny!

A hidden gem on the OBX. A very challenging course, especially when the wind is blowing. We played in 45 degree weather and 15 to 20 mph gust. Felt like we were in Scotland playing a links style course. Great shape for still being winter.

My son & I played the course while we’re on vacation. The clubhouse was very nice and the staff very friendly. Jim was the starter and was very helpful and informative. You can leave the driver at home, it’s very much a shot makers course but tons of fun. We’ll be back for another round next year.
