Challenge your game, not your patience. Play the courses of North Carolina's "Golf Coast," and you'll wonder why you never have before. Why fight the crowds? Just a short drive from Myrtle Beach, you'll find over 30 championship golf courses winding through some of the most beautiful scenery on the East Coast. Our subtropical temperatures lure golfers back year after year, yet the hassle and traffic always manage to vacation elsewhere.

How do over 500 picturesque holes remain such a well-kept secret? Maybe because those who know the peace and tranquility of our courses are reluctant to share their good fortune. After all, it isn't often one can play a challenging Byrd, Palmer, Couples or Maples course that isn't teeming with other carts and clubs. Stay in a fully equipped villa right on the fairway, or choose a beachfront rental to give your trip another perspective. For the novice and pro alike, North Carolina's Brunswick Islands will give you a game you'll never forget.
