Set in Eastern Carolina near New Bern, Carolina Colours Golf Club occupies a wooded, gently rolling tract of pines. The course was developed by Ken Kirkman and opened in 2010, with 18 holes designed by architect Bill Love.
The layout runs through dense woodland, with fairways that reward strategic placement and large, undulating A1/A4 bent grass greens that allow for demanding pin positions. Rolling terrain and bunkering shape the challenge from hole to hole.
Tee options are a notable feature: the tee boxes are shaped in an "L" to offer differing angles and strategies, and eight marked sets stretch the course from roughly 4,000 yards to more than 7,000, making it playable for a wide range of abilities.
