Nags Head Golf Links

For reference, I am a 2 handicap and a golf course snob, so my review is very accurate. I'm not a hacker that thinks if the course has grass, it's "nice".

As for Nags Head, the tee boxes and fairways were good, but could have been mowed a little tighter for me, just a little bit long. The greens were decent actually. They have bent greens, so the hot weather keeps them from mowing them too short, so they were a touch slow. As for the layout, there were some cool holes. A few holes (4-5) bordered the sound, so that made for some nice views. The golf course is tight, if you miss the fairway, you're probably going to lose your ball. Don't hit driver except on 18.

Lastly, the pace of play was pretty bad. We teed off at 3pm as a 3some and had three 2somes in front of us. They should have paired them together to keep up pace of play. We didn't see the ranger until the 18th hole and he asked us what was taking so long! Hahaha

Overall, it's a cool track with some fun holes, it's in decent shape (but not great). Good place to go try out when you're on vacation.

Used GolfNow discount and saved a bunch. Play this course every summer and never disappointed!

The views from the course are amazing! Many of the holes run along Pimlico Sound providing a stunning backdrop. Tee to green, the course was in relatively good shape, although be forwarned, it is TIGHT. Accuracy over distance is key. Now for the negative; the greens were awful. They had been recently air rated, which seemed odd for June, and hadn't been cut in days. Further, it seemed like most were having some issues with a fungus or irregular growth. I think this would be an amazing course if the green conditions improved, but I am glad we didn't pay full price.

Great course, played almost all clubs in my bag.
Wind was a factor but playable.
Greens were soft and rolled true .
Target golf but very fair.
A thinking golfers course.

Course was in great shape. Plays tough but fair. Views are awesome.

A few points to make about the course:

1. The views are spectacular. There are 5 or 6 holes on the bay that are beautiful and offer great picture opportunities.

2. The rates before noon are ridiculous. This course is not worth $110. We got an awesome deal on golfnow for $25 and it is absolutely worth that price.

3. For the "quality" that this course is supposed to present, I was not pleased with the greens. Back home in Louisville, these greens would be about as bad as it gets. I understand that it gets hot here and it is hard to keep the greens fast and smooth but for the norma price tag I was not happy. The rest of the course was in very good shape.

4. The course is very short and tight. It is definitely target golf. If you can hit something about 200 yds and straight off the tee, that should be your club of choice most of the day. Very tough to figure yardage a to hazards. Strongly recommend buying a yardage book.

5. The clubhouse and snack bar both closed at 5 pm. Again, for the price tag on this course,I would expect a little more hospitality and customer service. So if you get a twilight tee time, bring your own drinks.

Challenging at times but overall nice course. The wind off the sound made for some tough shots. Nice sunset views.

Not overly impressed. Lots of target golf with irons out of tee boxes. Rather short course. Liked Kilmsric and Carolina Club better.

When I booked with Golfnow they explained the course had airrrated the greens,they were spot on.Also I got to the Outer banks early and called the course to see if my group could tee off any earlier,we teed off about an hour before our booked tee time.The only issue was SLOW play,didn't see Marshall the whole 18 holes

Very nice links course. Beautiful holes along Sound. Interior holes are tight. Course not as well conditioned as other times I have played it.

Excellent course made even better with GolfNow rates

Considering the very cold winter the course was in decent shape. Better than the sister course Currituck Club

Played 18 holes on this tight little course, beautiful setting on the sound and great condition.

Bring a few extra golf balls for this short little jewel, and keep your driver in the bag. Windy days will play difficult, and the views of the water are fantastic.

Excellent greens
Only played 9 hole (3+ hours)
Extremely crowded

Course was in great shape for spring. Weather was sunny, dry and cool. Greens were fast but easy to read, fairways were pretty wide open with WATER HAZARDS everywhere and almost every hole. Of the 5 courses we played the week we were here, this was the most challenging with the water hazards. You may want to pack some extra balls, some AA for the water holes. So glad we payed and expierenced this track in OBX.

Very short course. Conditions were good over all, the lay out is nice, very tight. A couple of holes right on the waters edge. I would play here again.

Love the course and the challenge but the greens have a lot of poa Anna in them which makes putting very bumpy.

Awesome well kept course that is very challenging, especially if the wind is blowing. The guys in the pro shop and the restuarant/bar are top notch. The views on the front and back could rival most courses on east or west coast.

65-70 Degrees in February! The course was in great shape. Quit a few people took advantage of the day.
