Fun and challenging

Played early on a Sunday morning as a twosome. Played in a little less than two hours and 45 minutes. Greens were very good. Nice speed. Lost a couple of balls forgetting where some of the trouble was on tee shots.

Great Course, Great Experience

I was on vacation with my family but was able to slip away for an early tee time. Was partnered with two others, who were excellent to play with. The course was beautiful and in great shape. The holes were well designed and offered challenges but were not impossible and gave great opportunities to this 20 handicapper.

Nice course layout. A little pricey . Had to follow 2 groups of 5 and a threesome, had to wait on almost every shot. Overall nice course to play.

Bring your A game

A very nice course but very challenging. Most of the par 3’s are relatively short depending on what tees your playing from. The greens are fast and undulating and will challenge your putting skills. Good luck and have fun.

Bugs

I have never been bitten by flies so many times in my life. The course was gorgeous buts it’s hard to appreciate when you are a human all you can eat buffet.

Excellent as always

Been playing here since I’ve first visited the OBX in 2008. Kilmarlic is an awesome course and the people that work there are as awesome. Scott the starter(bartender) was really cool to meet. We will be back again..

Fantastic course and staff

Hidden Gem for the OBX area. Challenging course with varying tees for players of all skill levels. You really need to keep your ball in play or you w can easily loose a dozen. I love playing here but there can be a pace of play issue due to difficulty of course. It was a six hour rd in carts. That needs to be addressed more vigorously. Highly recommend with a caveat that you need to bring your patience for slow play

Great Vacation Course

I recently played Kilmarlic Golf Club while I was on vacation in OBX. Easily one of the best golf courses I’ve ever played. From the course conditions to the staff friendliness and attentiveness. I also played this course in March, so the grass was dormant, but the course was still in beautiful condition. Would recommend to anyone going on a trip to the outer banks and taking a morning to hit the links.
