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 Day of Golf
Skip greeted me with friendly and helpful service. Gave me the layout of the course and got me on my way. thanks Skip. Good layout, some challenging holes, and great scenery. Not for the Hookers and Slicers. Hit with accuracy and you'll be okay. 4 stars because the greens still hadn't recovered from irrigation, little bumpy putting. Overall good course, will play again.
Great course and not very crowded with fast play.
From the time I entered the pro shop this was a great evening of golf with my family. The staff was great and the course was in great shape. There are plenty of par 5's to make up on lost shots. I've played this course twice and will play again if I have the chance.
Decent value when rates are greatly reduced
The Sea Scape layout is a community course laid out over moderately rolling terrain. There are several places where blind shots prevail, but if you go forward to look over the landing areas it's quite playable. There weren't many people on the course the day that I played so going forward to take a look didn't hold anyone up.
Unfortunately home developers have mangled part of the back 9, taking away at least one long hole and producing two back-to-back par 3s.
The golf course seemed to be minimally manned, with only a pro shop attendant and one other person to handle bags, carts, etc. There were no course rangers or beverage carts.
Maintenance: there were several bare spots in the fairways and the course is pretty rough around the edges for anyone who can't keep shots in the fairway.
The greens had just been aerated, unfortunately with NO NOTICE, so putting was mostly a measure of luck rather than skill.
Greens fees: I was lucky enough to get a substantially reduced rate for greens fees. Supposedly they normally charge over $90 in season, though it isn't worth anywhere near that. I'm used to FAR better courses with superior service for much, much less.
Good time and play
Good day of golf . Great deal and fun course to play .great layout and tight fairways
Tight course in places with challenging holes.
Great course. Some long par 5's, but overall we had a great time. Normal cost at the time we went was about $90 per person, but we got the golfnow.com deal for $20 per person. Probably wouldn't have played at all if it weren't for golf now. The course doesn't allow you to bring alcohol on the course if it is not provided by them. Just something to think about. Greens were very fast. Over all we had a good time.
Great layout, Tough recoveries.
I have played seascape a few times now and I love it. it presents a challenge on basically every hole due to the fact that the second cut is generally very thin and the waste area is sand dunes and thorns. Bring some extra balls if you dont want to spend half an hour finding the bad ones. All in all one of my favorites, makes you play the course how they intended, there arent many corners to cut or alternate approaches to holes.
The greens are in awesome shape & super fast too!
My father-n-law & I played this course on 5/25/13. Very challenging golf course that you will lose a lot of golf balls if you don't play target golf. Greens were super fast & nice. Great time & I will go back again.
Nice course , views of the ocean, well maintained
The course is a very nicely maintained course with great staff. It is a nice course for both a seasoned and novice golfer. We will definitely play this one again.
Nice course
We played at Sea Scape three days while on vacation in OBX. The course was in nice condition and the staff was responsive and courteous. We very much enjoyed the course! Buying through Golf Now was easy and the rates were very good.
A fun course.
Not a lot of courses on OBX ,this has been around for awhile.Some challenging holes but not many long ones.This not a flat cow pasture.A lot of smaill hills for above and beow feet lies.
beautiful early season day of golf. very very friendly afded to a great day.
Very nice early season conditions. Clean well maintained facilities and equipment. Great golf.com rate. +++ day.
Well maintained, challenging, links style course.
Course well maintained with clean on-course facilities. Staff are friendly and responsive. Good value for the money. If you like links style courses this is one to play. Difficult for a beginner, challenging for other levels of players.
Geeat layout
Winding track through marshes and dunes. Really fun, with a few holes that demand real precision and shot-shaping.
Great golf experience.
Course in excellent condition, greens putt very true, and staff are among the friendliest I have ever encountered. All adds up to outstanding golfing round.
A very fun course.
I have played this course twice now, and both times had a lot of fun. The course is challenging and really fun to play. Some of the holes are just beautiful to look at. I will be playing this course again in the future.
Nice layout, good rolling greens
Would play again for sure, nice shape, excellent value
Always been a favorite course to play at the OBX.
Six par threes will test your accuracy if not your distance. Most holes very picturesque. No driving range means you get to warm up on the #1 handicap first hole, par 5. Survive that long straight intro and you get to enjoy the OBX woods and Albemarle Sound.
Good Value during off season
Thought the course was in good condition for March. Not much you can do to have grass on the fairways in March in the outer banks. Very nice large clubhouse with EXCELLENT food. Restaurant/bar staff was very friendly. I have not played this course in the summer so I cannot comment on conditions then but greens were in good shape in March. Play was a little slow for the front 9 but picked up on the back. 3 par 5s on the front and 3 par 3s on the back.
