features the best putting greens in the area and is a favorite among the locals. Nestled along the Currituck Sound, this forgiving design opened in the mid-1990s and is a unique blend of a traditional and a links-style layout. The wind is the great equalizer for scoring at The Pointe. It is located on the mainland and is closest to the beach, just west of the Wright Memorial Bridge. Second Course: The Soup The Carolina Club is the longest golf course in the region and is home to the only signature island green near the shore. The par-3, seventh hole highlights this outstanding 7,000-yard championship design featuring wetlands, water and bunkers galore. Now in its 25th year, The Carolina Club was designed by course legends Russell Breeden and Bob Moore. For those trying to finish with a low number on the scorecard, however, beware of the “soup” you have to hit over TWICE on the way to the 18th green. Third Course: The Salad Tree-lined and leafy green during the high season, Kilmarlic Golf Club is a mixing bowl of holes that will challenge all levels of golfers with its classic Tom Steele design located in Powells Point. As one of the more intricate layouts found anywhere across the state, Kilmarlic is continually looking to evolve its playing challenges and surfaces to keep up with golfer demand and intrigue. This marvel plays through a maritime forest and across sprawling wetlands where golf and the environment exist in perfect harmony.
