Nags Head Golf Club has a traditional Scottish-links layout that is right at home on the windswept terrain of the Outer Banks. Situated along the Roanoke Sound, the rugged coastline and rolling sand dunes perfectly mimic a classic links landscape. The golf course is a shot maker's layout that will test your skills but it is still player friendly enough to appeal to all skill levels. You'll need a sharp short game for sure, but you won't need much length on this rather short layout. Some form of water appears on nearly every hole, including some holes that play right along the Sound, and the undulating greens can be tough. It's a challenging-but-fun round that is worth playing for the scenery alone. Unsurprisingly, Nags Head Golf Club is one of the most popular golf courses in the OBX.

Keep It in Play and Hope for Gentle Winds

Caught The Links on a hot, but gentle winds day. If you kept the ball in play off the tee and from the fairways you could score well on this day. The greens were not fast.

Take extra balls

Leave your driver home!

Beautiful course layout. I took three guys with me for two rounds of golf. 18 and 9!

Both days were prefect conditions, green fairways and fast greens. Beautiful views and lovely homes. Nice combination!

Needs balls, however! This is a course that changes the way you think about golf. Course knowledge is paramount. Come with a good short game and you’ll have a fantastic day.

Enjoy

Nice course with some tough holes back into a stiff wind.

Course was in excellent condition. Some carries over hazards into a stiff wind were over 200 yards from the blue tees. The course was a fun course with spectacular views of the sound.

Layout can be interesting. Great water views in many spots. Greens while in good shape, were very slow for the fee $ level of this course. The course is short and the staff encourage you from the moment they pick up your clubs in the parking lot to not use your driver. Pace of play was less than 3:45. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

Courses in the area from what I read have great difficulty with their greens. The greens at nags head were in excellent condition but relatively slow. This is understandable since other courses were having trouble.

Played this course before it is an enjoyable course to play.

Challenging

Somewhat short...

Challenging course and fun. If you have the ca-honays or the lack of course management, you can drive a lot of the par 4s or at least get inside 100.....but a miss and you remember/learn!

Would play again if it wasn't $100 a round.

Nothing Good to Say

The greens where freshly aerated, with no communication from the staff. The course looks good. But you have no idea where you are on the hole or where to hit your shot. The card has no yardage on it. Just missing a lot of information to assist with play for a course in 2018.

One Half Course Should Be One Half Price

Front nine closed due to aerification of greens. Only the back nine was available. Pace of play was aided by ranger who helped us through a group in front who appeared to be beginner golfers after having to wait at least ten minutes on our first hole, Hole 10, a par 3. The course's proximity to the sea and the amount of water that came into play was refreshing and made the stop somewhat pleasurable.

Course is tight but very fair to the average golfer. Don’t need to hit long here just keep it in play and should score good.
