Most
golfers try to avoid water, but you can't help but notice the spectacular
natural beauty of coastal North Carolina's courses by the sea. Golf
course designers have set their courses among backwater creeks,
marshes and surf to distract even the most focused competitors.
North
Carolina Golf Guide states that, "You'll find a green to par-3 hole
surrounded by hundreds of thousands of oyster shells. One course
is accessible only by ferry and winds through an ancient maritime
forest. Another has the sandy links and feel of the U.K. … traversing
bogs into greens bordered by ancient craggy oaks."
