It's tucked away at the tip of Albemarle Sound. You have to be familiar with the really good golf courses in the Carolinas to know about this Dan Maples original. Maples stamped his signature here. As with all Maples-designed courses, you get a break on the par 4s and 5s, but the par 3s are extremely difficult. It's a target golf course with a few similarities to a links course.
Fairways are wide, but there's plenty of marsh to carry off the tee.
It's critical to hit where you aim. It's a fair course overall, but it's tough from the back tees. On the 7th and 13th holes, the landing areas are extremely small. Both are par 4s. This course is surrounded by undisturbed wetlands and tall pines.
