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.

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.

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.

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.

A blend of the best the OBX offers

As a single, I paired up with two members. The course condition showed signs of winter stress that all courses have varying degrees of carnage. Thankfully, the greens were great. No damage. Some patches of fairways were murdered. But, the course is very playable and enjoyable. Just a few areas. Some courses like Currituck faired much worse. The holes here bend both ways. There's more elevation change than you might expect for a beach course. I strongly recommend a round here. The only ding I have is no practice range. Just 1 putting green. Hey, real estate is primo here. If you need a country club, go join one. When the wind blows, the teeth come out. Beverage cart came around 3 times to check on you which is nice. I will be BACK.

Fun layout

I went in as a single. The staff was very friendly, and got me off early. The course was in decent shape for early May. The greens were very good which I found most important. I really enjoyed the layout. It is not long, but with the wind it is plenty challenging. The price was low on golfnow. It was a great value. Go for it and enjoy!

Fun and challenging course

My son and I drove down from Virginia to play this course on Saturday. The weather was great, and the course conditions were perfect. I’ll start off by saying that this course may be at the beach, but it is not flat. In fact, this course is more hilly than the ones at home. Greens were running very fast, so I’m glad I took some time on the practice green before heading out. I can’t think of one thing about the course, staff, or facilities that were anything less than 5-Star worthy. The pace was a little slow with a lot of groups on the course. I can’t blame them, it was two days after Thanksgiving and weather was in the 60s with only a slight breeze. My one complaint about the pace is actually on the group of course members behind us. They hit up on us more than once, including one shot on hole 11 that rolled between my legs as I was putting. No “fore” or apologies either. Very rude. As I mentioned, my son was with me so I wanted to demonstrate how to act properly on the course, which does not include getting in a screaming match or knocking their ball off the green, although it was tempting. We were partnered up with a course member who showed a lot of restraint. I am hoping he addressed the issue with the staff after the round. Other than that, it was a fun day and I will definitely be back.

Lots of fun

Interesting and challenging design. Greens were in great shape. Two or three fairways suffered from too much sun and not enough watering. Gotta' pay attention to slanting fairways. Overall, it's a fine course that provides lots of challenges and opportunities to score.
