It blends bold, elevated greens with dramatic bunkering and natural hazards, creating a course that’s as visually stunning as it is challenging. Its links-style characteristics and undulating terrain offer a thrilling test for seasoned players.

With wide fairways, subtle contours, and minimal tree coverage, this layout invites strategic play and rewards creativity. It’s a favourite among golfers who appreciate a classic, open layout reminiscent of St Andrews and other iconic coastal courses.

It combines playability with beauty and provides a well-balanced round that suits players of all skill levels.
-
Oyster Bay Golf Links - Located just a short drive north of the main resort in Sunset Beach, North Carolina, Oyster Bay is a legendary coastal course known for its beautiful marshland views and risk-reward design. Designed by Dan Maples, the course is famed for its undulating greens, water-laced fairways, and island par-3 holes that challenge even the most accurate shot-makers.
Each course delivers a different style of play, ensuring no two rounds are ever the same, making Legends ideal for longer stays or multi-round packages.
