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.

Conditions
Excellent for this time of year and amount of rain
Thank you for the fantastic 5-star review. We appreciate you taking the time and hope you will let us know if you ever need anything while you are here. Come back and see us again very soon for more of the best golf in town.
This course has unique layout
Overall the course was in decent shape, although it could use some watering. Holes were challenging. Decent distance with good roll. Was supposed to start at 1pm, however, since I was a single, they were very accommodating in getting me off ahead of two foursomes.
Staff was very pleasant as well, especially the starter, who took the the time to acclomate me on all of the course layouts. Greens were decent with pretty true roll, however some had show signs of sanding recently, but didn't effect it much.
Good course for the money I got through golf now. Not sure on the regular pricing, seemed a bit steep.
Good course for early in the year play.
Seascape
Ok course but sees a lot of play by players who don’t fix ball marks on green and that’s a shame because if they did we all could enjoy a really nice course
Very much playable
Course was in pretty good condition, better than previous posts suggest. There were some rough spots in some of the fairways and the greens were a bit bumpy in some areas, but that's to be expected this late in the season. Only issue was the grass height on the fairways and tee boxes - seemed to be high. Very good deal if you catch a special. I would've been disappointed had I paid the full rate. Very nice bar and food in the clubhouse.
Seascape
For a course that is right on the Island in the Outer Banks Seascape is a great little course at a very fair price for its location. If you're vacationing and want to golf ...this should be on your to play list!
Scape ok
For a course that gets a lot of play the course is in good shape. Par 3 greens a little beat up. Fairways good. Tee boxes in fair to good shape. Normal rack rate too hi. Not worth $90 but Golf Now hot deal at $48 was good value.
Slow play
Course was average and in relatively good condition. Waited almost 40 minutes as they were over booked. Several fivesomes all over course. 5.5 hours for 18 holes is not an acceptable pace.
Great Day
Had a great round, staff very friendly, great customer service from bag drop to starter cleaning my clubs after the round.
Course recovering well, a fairway or two still under renovation, but very playable. Great pace of play. I will be back.
Day of Golf
We have play this course before. This year the first three fairways where in rough shape, but after that the course was very good. I am not sure what has happen to the first three fairways. Greens where nice and putted very well.
Will play again.
This is a very serviceable course for the outer banks. The layout puts a premium on accuracy and ball control. No need to boom it off the tee to have scoring opportunities. The greens rolled smooth and true and were in pretty good condition for the time of year. There was a lot of ground under repair in the fairways with dead spots that had just been reseeded. We arrived early and they weren't busy so they let us go off early which was nice. I vacation in OBX every year and will try to play here again.
This course was in terrible condition
5is course is in terrible condition. Even though they cut their prices, this was the worst course that I have been on in years. They stated that the course had some bad spots, but the whole course was in terrible condition. Played Nags Head 2 days later and it was in great condition..
Would not recommend playing this course until you look at it first.
Enjoyable
The course is well laid out and the greens were in good shape. Course is on the process of recovering for winter damage to the fairways.
Rough conditions
We were informed at the pro shop that the course had suffered from the past winter . There were huge areas of the fairways that were completely bare .We were charged only 70.00 dollars not the regular 115.00 . We had to wait to tee off because they were watering the fairways. most of the holes were roped off and it was cart path only .With the watering and no grass made for a very sloppy conditions.In its current shape I have a tough time recommending it to anyone .
Fun Play
The round was fun and relaxing. It's a really nice layout to play. The front nine is straightforward and a good warmup for the more challenging back. The greens were great. The only issue was some dead grass in the fairways from winter kill. This was no fault of the course, and we just played it like it was ground under repair.
Worse golf experience I have ever had. Course shape is horrid. Weeds everywhere. Fairways damaged on all holes
extensive fairway damaged on all holes played. Worse course conditions I have every played. They should be ashamed of themselves. Golf now site said aeration but course had so much fairway damage I was embarrassed to have brought 3 other folks with me. They should closed the course until next year.
