Nags Head Golf Links
About Nags Head Golf Links
Nags Head Golf Links sits along the Roanoke Sound on North Carolina's northern Outer Banks, a links-style layout shaped by its coastal surroundings. The course was designed with a range of skill levels in mind, and its sound-side position opens up wide water views across much of the property.
The temperate coastal climate helps keep the course in play and in good condition throughout the year. Nags Head itself began as a point on a map before becoming a township and one of the better-known destinations on the northern Outer Banks.
