Well, I have heard Nags Head Links, a bit south of Duck is a real good place to play, its in the range of 6100 yards long, but the wind howls, espcially in the afternoon. Currituck Club is more north up the banks, Rees Jones work, and had been ranked in the top 20 of the state up until a few years ago. Kilmarlic Club off the banks on Hwy 158 seems to be a good place to play; they've hosted the NC Open twice. And certainly if you wanted to make the trek up to the Norfolk/Newport News area, there are any number of places to play.
