Gem on the Inner Banks

I wanted to play a round on the Outer Banks during my recent vacation, but the crowds were ridiculous and green fees were worse. I got a tip at my hotel to take a drive over to Scotch Hall, an Arnold Palmer course 70 minute drive away. The time I spent driving I saved by completing a quick round, as the ranger kept everyone moving and the course was not very busy. I'm sure it was nicer than any of the courses in Outer Banks at at $55 including cart it was a great deal. Course was in great shape and challenging without requiring a huge drive.

Scotch Hall Preserve

Arnold Palmer did his usual outstanding job. Place is absolutely beautiful, fast greens, lots of sand and wind coming off the water. My favorite course bar none.

Wish It Was Closer

Absolutely Beautiful!!!! Walked on a chilly afternoon and saw nobody else on the course. Great views of the sound on numerous holes and a fun challenging layout. Greens were in excellent condition, rest of the course was dormant, but still very playable. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Unbelievable value for the rate you pay on GolfNow. Looking forward to my next trip out to Scotch Hall Preserve.

Signature Arnold Palmer Course

Awesome experience. Myself and three other buds traveled from Chesapeake VA to this location. Staff was super friendly. The preserve is still under development so the course was wide open for play. The layout was beautiful and the quality was pristine. Trip time was 1 1/2 hour but well worth the travel. Will definitely play this course again.
