Castle Bay Country Club
About
Although it is tucked away just north of Hampstead, Castle Bay Country Club will make you feel as though you've been transported to the British Isles. The golf course offers an authentic Scottish-links design that incorporates the natural wetlands of its coastal Carolina location, giving it a truly unique character. The landscape of rolling dunes is covered with native grasses but completely devoid of trees. Tall sand bunkers are strategically placed throughout and there are also expansive waste areas, both characteristics that are true to its links nature. Water hazards come into play on several holes as well. Accurate shot placement is the key to doing well on this course and just like any seaside links layout, the coastal breezes play a prominent role. Much of the difficulty of the golf course comes from negotiating with the prevailing winds.

Nice course, tired clubhouse
Very nice course overall. The practice range was a little on the muddy side. Enjoyed the course as it had pretty fair holes and very nice greens. The clubhouse needs a renovation. It was just a little run down looking. Bathrooms were the same and a bit on the dirty side. Certainly would recommend the course otherwise.
Beautiful and well maintained!
Course is fantastic, in great shape and staff is too notch! Love playing here!
Good time
Course was in great shape the greens were excellent friendly stall got to go out early because it was a Monday just got windy midway , even after the round the staff was great as my car had an ignition problem and thought I needed to overnight park because of it and every one was alerted that may happen I will play the course again and again.
