Sea Scape Golf Links
About
Sea Scape Golf Links in Kitty Hawk, N.C. is one of the premier courses on the Outer Banks. The course has the feel of a traditional Scottish links layout thanks to the seaside location and landscape of windswept dunes. The golf course differs from a classic open links design because of the coastal forests that accent the terrain, which provides some shelter from the ocean breezes. The vibrant blue waters contrast beautifully with the dark green treetops. The most challenging feature of the golf course is the constant up and down. Golfers will face uneven lies as well as blind shots. Sea Scape Golf Links is relatively short at 6,131 yards from the back tees but it plays longer due to the variety of elevation changes, which range from subtle to dramatic.

Poor conditions and Gimmicky layout.
Greens rolled crazy slow with ball marks everywhere on all greens. Short course with trouble lurking on most holes. Bring plenty of balls.
Pace was good at just under 4 hours, but still probably the worst course in the Obx area in my opinion

It’s a beautiful course but not very maintained. Especially for the money. The greens had so many divots. Putting was next to impossible.
Thanks so much for the great review, mmdkcool1. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Sea Scape Golf Links.
Amazing Golf Course!
The course was in the most idea and perfect conditions! Great “risk/reward” holes, with hidden doglegs and reachable Par 4s.
A must play if you travel to the OBX!
Vacation OBX Golf
Staff was great and visible. Ranger to keep pace of play.
Greens were pristine and challenging. Fairways were a bit dry. Will definitely try to play this course on next OBX trip.

Watch out for each other
Tee times are based on a foursome pace regardless no matter how many in your group. My playing partner and i were behind a husband and wife. She needed ample shots to reach the green which wasn't a problem since they were two and maintained pace. Her husband was driving the cart and would advance to his ball while she would hit and walk. Repeat. Repeat. Never hit into them until hole #14. Severe dogleg right, downhill and blind. We saw the cart move off. Waited. I called out my line ahead of the swing, hug the corner. But the result was a high over the trees. Husband screams that I almost hit his wife. It's blind, downhill and downwind. If she's in a blind landing zone, keep your cart visible until she's out of the way. Don't run ahead of the walker. It wasn't intentional, definitely regretful to scare anyone.. Gabby, the cart lady, stopped by later to explain the trauma. Sea Scape has half a dozen holes where the landing area can be blind. Use your cart to watch out for each other. Course is in excellent shape. Enjoy, have fun and play safe.
Hello, stan770. Thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at Sea Scape Golf Links. We apologize for all the blind spots and hope to see you again soon!
Greens just punched/aerated
Overall it was a positive experience. The greens have been punched/aerated recently with no notice that I saw on their website. When we started, there were 3 groups waiting to start! We spread out a bit on the front but the back was miserably slow.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!

Fun course. Short but challenging!
This is the second time I played Sea Scape. The more I play it the more I like it. Staff and starter were very nice and helpful. Course was in great condition and pace of play was good. Fun par 3s and some wide open par 5s. I will be back again!

Glad to get a round in
We were on Vacation on Hatteras Island, we were hoping to play multiple rounds up North. Unfortunately the road up North was closed for multiple days. When it finally opened for travel we took a gamble and drove the 1 hour and 10 minutes to Sea Scape despite ominous weather forecast. Course was in good shape and staff was friendly. Someone previously had stated the course was in bad shape. We thought it was pretty good . We of course got poured on but we enjoyed the round despite the 45 minute delay.
Your feedback is important to us, bobrandisi. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Sea Scape Golf Links.
Rain rain rain
Started our round at 11 am and got in 2 holes before the rain started. Headed back to the cart barn to either wait it out or go home. Ernie, the starter, had his hands full fitting everyone in there but he was super friendly and helpful. We decided to call it and got a rain check. Later in the day after the rain stopped we called the pro shop and were told to come on out-so we were able to use the rain check a few hours later. The staff was great and the playing conditions were great considering how much rain fell in a very short time
