A very good course on this part of the NC coast. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 20, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice, 9 hole, 18 tee layout on this side of the Cape Fear River from Wilmington. Nice DISCatchers and tee signs on every hole.
Rubber mats for the tees and brooms on several holes that really help with the sandy soil.
I believe they have two separate tees for each hole. The ones I found were separated from each other enough, to make this feel like an 18 hole course when played through twice.
Mostly wooded, pine tree course but a couple of open holes or lightly wooded.
Unique, elevated, in a tree basket position for #8. It's located right behind the community building, if you want to just check that out!

Cons:

The rubber tee mats look like the kind that can get slick when wet, but usually enough room beside them to tee from.
Really no big Cons with this course, not a huge piece of land to work with (and no elevation), a nice layout.

Other Thoughts:

It looks like there is a local club that is active with this course. The signage is good, there is a screened port-a-john at the first tee and everything is in good shape.
The Cape Fear River really divides this part of NC from the Wilmington courses, including Castle Hayne. So if you are staying at the Brunswick Co beaches and don't want to drive up to CH, this is a good alternative.

Great spot, can't wait for 9 more. 2+ years drive by

Pros:

Rubber mat tees are great when it's dry. Baskets are in good shape. Good mix of holes, requiring use of all discs. Fun beach environment with lots of sand!

Cons:

Wish they had 9 more real holes! Otherwise, the course was a lot of fun. A touch repetitive w/o much elevation, but they did well with the land. The rubber mats could probably get slippery if theyre wet at all, but when we played they were great.

Other Thoughts:

Love the attention to detail, like the brooms at each tee pad. Apparently they are making room for an extra 9 holes--in the meantime, the alternate tees make for a fun quasi-18 holes.
