About Cape Fear National Golf Course at Brunswick Forest
Cape Fear National is a private golf club within the Brunswick Forest community in Leland, North Carolina, just outside Wilmington. The centerpiece is an 18-hole championship course designed by Tim Cate.
The club recently completed a multimillion-dollar capital investment that reshaped much of the property. The work included a modernized full-service restaurant and bar, an extensively renovated practice facility, and a new patio overlooking the grounds.
