About Occano Clubhouse & The Grill at Salmon Creek
Occano is home to a signature golf course designed by Arnold Palmer, set on a property overlooking the Albemarle Sound in eastern North Carolina.
The 18-hole layout measures 7,192 yards and opened in 2009. Eleven of its holes offer views of the sound, giving the round a coastal backdrop, while the routing follows the natural contours of the site, using the area's rolling terrain and mature trees to shape the holes.
