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.

Good off season value
This course has come a long way from the poor conditions of a couple of decades ago. It now has good Bermuda fairway surfaces and very good greens. First hole is a long one but even the duffer will find distances from the white tees reasonable after the initial hole.
Windy City
The course was in good shape and well maintained. The greens had been aerated recently, so were a little bumpy.
The biggest hindrance was the wind blowing quite strongly.
Thank you for your review. We hope to see you back for another round soon!
Stay away unless you have 50 balls
Very unhappy that Golfnow did not note that this course was in aeration process and we could not play all 18 holes. Rough was 6" deep, so we lost about 15 balls a piece. Not happy
We are so sorry to hear you were not aware of our aerification recovery conditions. Please email us at seascapeteetimes@aol.com for a promotional code to use toward your next round with us.
Nags Head
Not worth $79.00 but it's a nice course. Staff was very friendly and informative.
Thank you for your review. We hope to see you back for another round soon!
Should of gone fishing
Was excited to try a new course. Staff charged $20 for a friend (photographer) to ride with me. I said I had never been charged for a rider fee and he asked if he should pay for it himself. Well you can imagine how things went from there. The starter spent 10 minutes describing every detail of the course. Dude, just let me play! The course was boring, same scenery, tee to green. The food matched everything else. All in all a day I should have gone fishing. Golf, food, riding fee, $100. Ouch.
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you did not have the best possible experience at Sea Scape, I assure you we take the feedback very seriously. We hope to see you again for another round.
HONEST STAFF RETURNED MY DRIVER FROM A TREE!!
My Father and I tee'd off while it was drizzling with a possible shower or two while we were out there. On the fifth Tee I had wet hands so i could not wear a glove and denied my Fathers offer for rain Gloves. (Because who needs stinking rain gloves) I swung with my driver and in my follow through the club slipped out of my hands and went about 30+ feet in the air and landed in the trees off the left of the Tee Box and unfortunately never came down. We looked for a few minutes and couldn't find it and had no way to get it down. We played on and I ultimately thought it was gone forever. We continued through 9 but the weather got to be too much so we stopped at the turn. I decided to at least take a chance at the course helping me out and get my driver out of the tree when it stopped raining. I thought it was a long shot because in my experience lost clubs are more often found by players and kept then the course finding them and returning them. TO MY SURPRISE. I went back to Seascape to play a few days later and the Course Pro was inside and had my driver waiting for me in the pro shop. This made my already wonderful experience at seascape golf course a whole lot better. I played Seascape 4 times while I was on vacation and every time was perfect. Good pace of play, course was a good condition even with the high amount of play it gets.
Thank you for your review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience - and that you were able to leave on your following visit with your driver! We look forward to your next trip back!
a little better than average
Course in good shape. Some holes challengimg,, others not so much. Pace of play a little slow. Overall a little better than average value.
Thank you for your review! We hope to see you back for another round soon!
Well maintained.
A very nice day on the course. Never felt rushed and would do this again in a second.
Thank you for your review! We look forward to your next visit!
Vacation golf
Course in good condition and pace of play was good. That could be because it was 95 degrees, not many fools out there. Staff very friendly.
Thank you very much for your review and recommendation! We hope to see you for another round soon!
You will enjoy playing
This is a nice course with many challenges. Keep it in play and hit the greens and you can score.
Thank you for your review! We are so happy that you enjoyed the challenge Sea Scape offers and we hope to see you back for another!
How the staff treated my 5 yr old.
I haven't been this impressed with the staff on a golf course in my entire golf life. I brought my 5 year old to play golf with me at Sea Scape today for a 12:33 tee time. I purchased the round on Golf Now. My 5 year old, Declan, loves golf and has been playing since he was 2. We walk into their pro shop and we are greeted by two gentleman. I give them our tee time and name and they said "Golf Now?" The gentleman looks at Declan and asks if he will be playing also. Declan looks and me for reassurance and I say 'yes'. I can see the gentleman's excitement and he tells Declan their names and shakes his hand. He then gives Declan a logo'ed ball and tells him not to give to daddy - that it is for him. This is really special for Declan because we always buy a logo'ed ball everywhere we play and put it in our golf ball keeper on the wall. The gentleman gave us the normal rules about which hole is cart-path only and to go to the cart path when we see the signs but never mentioned pass of play. This is why I am writing this post. I am very conscious of pace of play with my buddies and especially with my 5 year old. My 5 year old plays very fast and pace of play is usually never an issue - but the gentleman didn't know that. They treated him like he was a professional golfer. We finished 18.. Never held up anyone.. We picked his ball up 3 times and moved it to mine to keep pace of play. We got home and told his mom about playing golf today.. His comments were "they gave me a ball", "we didn't have to wait, they let us go by ourselves." This place is top notch! We come to the beach every year and I will make Sea Scape our new home course. Great job guys... You ARE what every golf course should be modeled after.
Thank you so much for the great review! Declan and you were a pleasure to have at Sea Scape, your son is a very polite young man! We are so glad you enjoyed your round and look forward to your next tee time with us!
Nice course

Nice Challenge
Course was in great shape. All staff very friendly and attentive. Beverage cart was very visible. Bring some extra balls if you miss the fairways. A little pricey, but worth it.

Very nice
Very nice OBX course and reasonably priced. No Driving Range.

Good surprise!
There were many wide fairways. The greens were excellent and held the ball nicely. There seemed to be enough tees to accommodate different levels of play.There was a putting green, but no driving range. There was a driving net. Overall, we had a great time on a coarse that was in great shape.
Thank you for your review! We are so glad to hear you had such a great experience and hope you make it back for another round soon!

Great place to golf on the island
Great challenge for all level of golfers, nice fairways and greens. Better over club though, the dense ocean air kept the holes playing long. Centrally located in the Outer Banks.
Thank you for your review! We are so glad you to hear you enjoyed the course and hope you come back for another round soon!
