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.

Golfer Reviews
Always worth playing
This course is usually in great shape and today’s round was no exception ,had a great time enjoyed the course. But beware the hot deal I got from Golf now was actually more expensive when you include the taxes and fees than the regular rate at the course
Beautiful Day
It was almost a perfect day! As it was the first chilly day of the season, and quite windy, the course was almost empty mid day. I've played here before and the course is in the best condition I have ever played here. A few of the tee boxes may be a little overplayed but the staff is working on that by setting the tees in less used areas. The fairways were in very good condition, and the one that were a little wet were CPO. And the greens were also in great shape and rolled true. I noticed prices have increased , but they have new carts with excellent GPS systems, and the carts are programmed to not allow them to enter wet areas and CPO fairways, which will help keep the course in great condition. The staff, as always, were very friendly. Even the players are friendly and follow golf etiquette, as the group in front of me stopped and allowed me to play thru at the turn. A lottle less wind, and making a few birdie putts would have made this a perfect day.
First time playing in 10yrs.
At first, you may seem like this course is way over budget.
This course is very well maintained and the staff are more than friendly, even gave tips on certain holes.
The carts were very impressive, think they should mention that on website, with yardage tracking, side coolers, etc
Already scheduled our next tee time and hopefully keep it lower with the coastal winds.
Nice course when options are limited in the area
Great fun track with not a lot of trouble other than water. Good conditions other than being a bit wet (as most courses in a flood basin are). Would play again!
Greens not receptive
Course in great shape overall. Greens where smooth and true. Only negative greens where not receptive. Hit a perfect high shot to green and it bounds off back.

Course is very well maintained and the staff is extremely accommodating and friendly. The only negative experiences I've ever had at Castle Bay were weather related.
Great Course Terrible Management
Allowed a group of 7 to play ahead of My group of two on a Sunday. Ended up taking 5 hours and 15 minutes for two people to ride 18 holes. Completely unacceptable will not be back.
Love this course. Rain the night before made it soggy but that’s Mother Nature
Wet
Had the first tee time. Course was extremely wet due to dew and heavy watering if fairways throughout the night. Hard to find ball in the fairway due to water. I liked the course on my previous round but learned not to play this course early in morning.
