Wilmington, NC · 3.8 mi away

Beau Rivage Golf and Resort in Wilmington plays over rolling pine and dune ground near the Cape Fear River, with elevation changes of up to 75 feet, unusual for the coast. Joe Gessner designed the 18-hole course, which opened in 1988. Fairways are Bermuda and the greens are ultradwarf Bermuda. On-site lodging makes stay-and-play packages possible, and the course is open to the public year-round.

Owned and operated by the City of Wilmington's Parks and Recreation Department, the course is public and open to residents and visitors, with tee times bookable up to a week in advance. The facility includes a driving range, putting and chipping greens, and a pro shop, and local residents of New Hanover, Pender, and Brunswick counties receive discounted rates.

Leland, NC · 5.7 mi away

Cape Fear National sits within the Brunswick Forest community in Leland, North Carolina, a few miles south of Wilmington. Golf course architect Tim Cate designed the layout, which opened in 2009, routing it through undulating land with bridges over wetlands, waterfalls, and long bunkers that run the length of several holes. The course measures more than 7,200 yards from the back tees at a par of 72. It is currently open to the public and to Brunswick Forest residents, though the community has indicated a long-term intention to eventually convert the club to private membership.
