Windy day, but beautiful course

I couldn't recommend this place enough, when comparing it to other courses in the OBX area for the money. When we played it was super windy, so the course played more difficult than usual, with winds swirling, making certain approach shots near impossible. The staff couldn't be more friendly, and the amenities, which include a beautiful outdoor area to watch players come up the 18th is a great addition. The course layout is great, given that you're never playing the same style of hole twice, and the wind changes up after at most 2 holes. Will definitely come again.

A Must-Play in the Outer Banks

Kilmarlic Golf Club is a beautiful and well-kept course that’s both fun and challenging. The layout has a great mix of wide fairways and tight, tricky holes with water and bunkers that keep things interesting. The views are amazing, especially the par-3 5th with its island green.

The staff is super friendly. We were met in the parking lot with carts and given a run down of the course. the facilities are great . If you're in the Outer Banks and looking to golf, Kilmarlic is definitely worth checking out. I will be back soon.

OBX golf

Not a lot of options in OBX so this course is one of the few good ones. Greens were receptive and rolled pretty good, if only people would fix their pitch marks, interesting layout with a little woods and links layout. Played in 4hrs so not bad for a public tract.

Wonderful time

Staff was very helpful, booked with Golfnow, however even though we had a 7:45 am tee time confirmation we were not on the tee sheet. Not to worry, the staff got us out early. Great, friendly staff, course conditions were excellent. Definitely will return.

What a Layout

Fantastic course, probably the best layout/design of any ‘beach golf’ I’ve played. Challenging, fun, beautiful setting. Staff was great.

It’s no hacker’s paradise and you’ll want to bring some balls as there are a lot of force carries (although most have a safer play option available to you as well), but if you can’t have fun on some of these holes idk what to tell ya!

We played as a hurricane passed through and the course was drenched — even still, it played fine. Not sure how they manage to make that work but they must have some darn good drainage systems. Loved it.

Best golf in OBX!

I’ve been golfing in the OBX on my vacation for several years now, and this is the best course around. Course has plenty of challenges and is beautifully maintained. Best of all, it’s priced better than any course on the island and it’s only a few minutes over the bridge. We loved it and will be back again!

Nice course, need more staff

Great course to play, had to wait for carts from people that just finished. Had to walk to driving range and only saw drink cart once on a plus 30 hot day.

Didn't disappoint

Favorite course in OBX. Other than playing through some downpours, course was great.

Summer Vacation

One of my favorite courses I have played in recent years. My absolute favorite in the OBX. I keep telling friends about the course.

Great location and views

Played mid-day during hot, windy day and found hidden gem alongside the sound. Fairways were in good shape and the greens were a little slower than the practice green. Wind was brutal on a few of the final holes, making for challenging finish. Very happy with the burgers and beers in the clubhouse afterwards.

great course; could have been a better experience

Got stuck behind a 5some on a weekend, where it seemed they were short staffed. No bev cart, no marshal. Limited food service at the turn. Course was pretty and well maintained. Would try it again on a week day
