Has anyone played here and is it worth a visit?
Thanks

Yes I played it a VERY long time ago, I was a teenager. Is it worth a special trip? Not by my recollection. But if you have your clubs there and are looking to play, I don't believe there are a ton of options on the Outer Banks.

I concur.  There are not tons of options, much less good ones.

I live in Tidewater Virginia, about 2 hours away, if the traffic is not too too terrible.

Played Sea Scape once a long time ago and will never return.  Play only just dying to play ............ somewhere.

Played there maybe 10 years ago.  I can remember the course pretty well -- but there was nothing really architecturally redeeming about the place.  I suppose if were a very nice day for golf and you had your clubs with time to kill there's no reason why not; at least it's not a golfing cesspool.

It boggles me that there's no high quality golf on the OBX.  Seems like the terrain is a natural.

Just on form, it seems like a guy with the tagline "Mr. Hurricane" should certainly visit the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

Check the weather report before you go, though.

No space. The island is like 5 blocks wide at that point.

My parents live down the street part of the year... it's a mediocre but acceptable golf course.

I played about 6-7 years ago and have no desire to go back.  If you are going to the OBX, I think Currituck Club is your best option.  And I know some on here criticize it as well.

You might look at Kilmarlic.  I think it might be owned by the same group as Sea Scape (that may have changed by now).  It's not a long drive but I enjoyed it as well. It's a residential course, but at the time homes weren't really in line of play.  That may have changed by now.

Neither one are exactly bucket list courses, but if you're there and wanting to play I think they are worth the time.

So here is a thread about why aren't there great courses in OBX:

That is funny. We were scheduled to go to the Outer Banks a few years ago when Sandy came calling. I will try for something in early spring next time. Sea Scape Links is not sounding all that appealing, but my kids want to visit the Outer Banks so that is where we will go.

Jim,
Go ahead and play it. It's not a "wow" course, but there are some fun holes in the layout. And it's the only course on the Outer Banks designed by a Masters champion. Avoid Nags head Golf Links -- too narrow, too much housing. Currituck Club also offers a stroll over the dunes. It's just a little too refined for me.

If you venture across the bridge to the mainland, Kilmarlic is the closest. It has a nice, secluded feel to it. The routing is such that you don't see more than one or two holes at a time.
