Nags Head Golf Links

Cool course ....but tight fairways and high winds also make for a very challenging round. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful ....starter even got me out earlier which was great !! Quite a few blind shots so I'm looking forward to another round.

Went to check in and was told that four holes were closed due to hurricane damage. Did not appear to me there was any just debris in low spots along the sound side of the course. Suggested some compensation, maybe a nine hole rain check, only offered plastic and beat up range balls. Also was told golfnow would be the ones to talk too. That they were informed by the course of the issues and did not respond.

4 holes closed due to impact of storm.... Buy the course book

Course is in great shape,greens were medium speed with not a lot of break.This was my first time on the course and found every hazard.If I play here again I'll leave the driver in the bag.I 'm an average length hitter and most of the par5s are reachable in 2 even with a 3wood off the tee.This course is short and most par 4s are reachable with a short iron second shot.The wind and brutal rough make this course a good challenge even for low handicap golfers.

This was a very enjoyable golf course. The day we played it rained in the morning and continued lightly for our first two holes. After that it was a calm, sunny and humid day. So we did not experience the wind that likely makes this golf course so challenging.

The course was in great shape. The holes have a lot of variety. There are 2 drivable par 4s, some long par 4s, and several strategic par 4s. Par 3s were both long and short.

The greens were extremely slow, but then again it had rained earlier in the day.

Several of the holes play along the sound, but most meander through a nice housing development.

I realize "links" means different things to different players. I expected a more open, treeless course next to the water with opportunities for running the ball up to the green. As I said above, many of the holes are bordered by houses, occasionally on both sides. There is a lot of target golf and some forced carries. Not quite what I expected.

Even the mild wind affected several of our shots, so this will be your main challenge

Nags Head Golf Links is a beautiful course along the sound. Challenging, but a ton of fun. Tom (the starter) was awesome! He gave me the low down on the course and checked in on me throughout my round, making sure I was enjoying myself! Thanks Tom! The course is in great condition. Greens played real nice aside from ball marks people don't fix (don't be that guy). Pace was slow because of the group a head of me, bunch of dusters that couldn't swing a club to save their own life. The course isn't very long...accuracy and ability to hit tricky wind shots will be success at NHGL. Target golf as I like to call it. Amazing outing, great course, staff is super nice and professional, and great photo ops along the sound. This will not be the last time I golf at NHGL! I will be back! Nags Head Golf Links is a must!

Course is very tight and has very little rough. Must hit fairways

Great Links style couse know your distances and judge the wind and you can score well! Even thought it was 90 degrees the wind off the sound made it feel cooler.

This course is one of the best in the Outer Banks area. Every time I've come here, the course has been in great shape and staff very friendly. The only thing I would mention is the pace of play from other golfers during the evenings. A lot of novice golfers this particular day, and had to wait several holes even after being allowed to play through many groups. Outside of the delay on my recent visit, course is excellent. Short and narrow, but challenging if you dare take out the big stick. "Love this course!"

I have played more than a thousand courses , and this course was one of the worst. Extremely tight driving holes, no directions where to hit, no lateral hazards. Everything is a lost ball. Despite the conditions being perfect , greens and fairways in great shape, a miserable course, especially when the wind blows as it always does. Not much fun. Leave your woods in the car, and tee off with a 6 iron. Terrible

Not overly long calls for almost every club in your bag not challenging enough for plus handicaps probably but for average golfers it's a treat . Fast play great staff and friendly locals make it a must play . Enjoyed it so much going to schedule another trip down to play again later this year !

Enjoyable course, good condition, most accomadating staff. Some blind shots. A second round should in a better score. Shot placement critical.

only played 9 holes. the greens were recently aerated, no upfront notice given. Plays short, but neeed some accuracy. would play again.

I had a great time on this beautifully designed course. I played with my sister-in-law who only wanted to play 9 holes otherwise I would've stayed and played all 18. Honestly lost several balls in the water and even one on someone's upper deck :)
No pressure on the course to hurry play, and the scenery was spectacular. This course is built on the sound side of the island with several holes right on the waters edge, with plenty of ponds, streams and, other hazards. We misjudged the yardage on a couple of drives resulting in the sound of a dull plop/splashing sound and the crisp cracking sound of my ball striking the upper deck of a house.
The greens were recently punched out (aerated) so the putting surfaces didn't have the best roll but, so what!
Great OBX experience for anyone just waiting to happen, if you are an average golfer expect to lose a few balls and have some laughs.

Good course. Great views. Good value with golfnow discount.

Course plays very short and depending on what tee boxes, you may never hit more than a hybrid (200yds).

However what it lacks in typical distance, it makes up in narrow fairways, avg to small greens and WINDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!

If you don't club up/down accordingly, just put down a DB. If you have a poor short game, it will be a rough day for you.

EXCELLENT Greens and a beautiful layout right on the sound.

Treated very well. Even Golfnow customers are treated the same as everyone else. They sincerely appreciate your business.

The average golfer may struggle some - lots of water - greens hold fairly well - greens putt very true - booked tee time on Golf Now for $49 making this an exceptional value - I've paid more for inferior courses

Beautiful, well-maintained course that we found to be quite challenging. Friendly staff both on and off the course. It would have been helpful had there been a layout of the holes at each of the teeing areas.

Absolutely gorgeous - tight fairways and lots of water but worth the extra balls for these fabulous views. Bring a windshirt...
