DONNA LOVES GOLF almost as much
as she enjoys helping people negotiate the challenging world of real
estate. She’s sharing some of her
favorite local golf courses:
910.944.8825
A
beauty. Jack Nicklaus II designed the course on
rolling, wooded terrain, with Bermuda grass fairways and bent grass
greens. It is totally public. Water comes into play frequently but don’t
let that intimidate you.
910.893.5051
or 800.760.9022 ext. 1371
The
best kept secret in this part of the country and it’s only about 45 minutes
from
These
beautiful courses have wide fairways and the rough can get thick, especially in
August. You can walk the course at
anytime. The practice range is the
larges in
910.944.1600
Now
this is the pits! You will never find
another course around quite like this one.
Dan Maples designed this course which is set in pine
barrens, with Bermuda grass fairways and bent grass greens. If you miss the fairway, try hitting off some
of the highest mounds with the tallest grass (sage brush) you’ve ever seen
along a fairway. You’ve got to play it
to believe it…words just can’t describe.
910.245.4686
Two
18-hole courses. The first was designed by Dan and Ellis
Maples. The first few holes border a
lake and you’ll have to be accurate. The
wind can be difficult at times. If you
think you’ve got the right club, take another.
It’s deceiving and don’t even think about pitch and run. The balls will stay on the upslope to the
green.
The
second course was designed by Arnold Palmer.
You start off thinking it’s easy.
Do you know how many balls I’ve seen land in the water on the par 3
second hole? You’ll find many sweeping
doglegs and the greens are well bunkered.
Try it, you’ll like it.
