“I wanted to tell you that all three courses were in great shape, every-one was very courteous and the play went on time without problems. The Holiday Inn Express staff had our rooms ready and assignments made as requested. Thanks for the nice weather. Looking forward to future trips with you.” - l. shackleford

“Just wanted to let you know that all 20 golfers had a great time…every-thing went well at all golf courses. We had great weather for our trip. Also, the bar & grill had 3 specials waiting for all of us when we finished playing at Kilmarlic – Thanks!” - D. Miller

“We just got back from our OBX golf trip this past weekend and I wanted to let you know that everyone had a GREAT time. Both of the courses we played were in excellent shape. The staff at both courses from the people who greeted us in the parking lot to the starter were very helpful in provid-ing tips to make our day more enjoyable. We certainly appreciated that since this was the first time most of our golfers had even played in North Carolina, much less those courses. Everyone said they would love to come back and play again next year. I know that The Pointe is on our “must-play” list again. I’m sure that our group will be larger next year after hearing those who went this year talk about the trip!” - s. Pearce

“Your responsiveness and knowledge of the destination are impressive and largely because of that, I will certainly call again and set up another trip in the future.” - G. Brennan

“Just got back yesterday from our outing. Thank you very much. Everything was great! Talk to you again soon about setting up our next trip!” - C. Valdrighi

One of the keys to a successful buddies golf trip is the accommo-dations. Is there ample enough room for everyone to feel comfort-able after a full day on the links? Are there enough TVs available for people with different viewing hab-its? Is the location convenient to golf courses and restaurants?

The Kilmarlic Club Cottage, located at Kilmarlic Golf Club, answers all those questions with a resounding yes. With four oversized bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, two liv-ing room areas (upstairs and on the main floor), and a beautiful design-er kitchen in case there’s a chef in the group, it provides every amenity a golf group could ask for. The location, directly across the street from the driving range and first tee and less than a nine iron away from the beautiful clubhouse, may make this as good as it gets in terms of a golf group accommodation.

“We love hosting groups in the Cottage as it allows us to show our commitment to service to our guests,” says Kilmarlic’s Director of Golf, Bryan Sullivan. “It is nice to be able to just step out the door to your cart, the range and the putting green.”

So popular is the Club Cottage that Sullivan admits plans are in the works to add another. This will allow Kilmarlic to host larger golf groups and also alleviate the problem of returning groups wanting to book on the same dates.

If by chance the Club Cottage is booked don’t fret. Sullivan and OBX Golf Travel have other options avail-able including new Cottages at Kilmarlic coming spring 2017, beach front homes that can accommo-date large groups, condos at other area golf courses and hotels directly on the oceanfront.

Just when you think you have The Curri-tuck Club golf course figured out, you’ll be introduced to the Outer Banks’ ocean breezes.

This golf course has some of the most spectacular scenery in the area. Golf Magazine awarded the course a coveted spot on its list of “Top 10 You Can Play” and Golf Digest ranked The Currituck Club as one of the “Top 25 Courses in North Carolina” – an extraordinary compliment for a “young” course in a state known for golfing excellence.

1. A famous expression was coined long ago at Cahoon’s Grocery and Variety Store in Nags Head. It goes, “if we don’t have it, you don’t need it.” This OBX motto could easily be applied to its golf. From true barrier island links courses to modern parkland marvels lo-cated inland, the region is so chock full of variety, you truly don’t have to go anywhere else. The chal-lenges at such layouts as Kilmarlic, The Pointe, The Carolina Club, Nags Head Golf Links and The Currituck Club are as spectacular as the coastal views they possess.

2. A wilderness of blowing dunes and sand flats in Kitty Hawk not only provided a remote test area for the Wrights to conduct their flights and study those results with-out distraction, it also provided for a memorable history lesson for visi-tors to the area more than a cen-tury later. The U.S. Government built the Wright Brothers Memorial site in 1932 and today National Park Ser-vice interpreters lead you through the historic events leading up to air travel. So don’t miss an opportunity to stand on the very spot where Orville and Wilbur first flew.

3. a wide range of top-shelf and equally eclectic accommoda-tions can be found all along OBX, from the iconic Sanderling Resort in Duck to the fully-equipped Kilmarlic

Golf Cottage featuring golf course views of the championship course. If your group prefers to be closer to the shore, you can choose from a vast array of beach or sound-side homes that range from one-bed-room condos to multiple bedroom estates. Then, rest up between rounds at any number of privately owned vacation residences with luxuries such as private pools, pool tables, high-definition televisions and much more.

4. Afternoon drives take on a whole new meaning along the coast just minutes north of Rees Jones’ 18-hole gem known as The Currituck Club. There, a unique après-golf excursion unfolds in the form of 12 miles of beachfront that is only accessible by four-wheel-drive vehicles. Known as “beach riding”, this one-of-a-kind activ-ity leads you to nothing but sun, sand, ocean, some vacation rental homes and those wild Spanish mus-tangs that can be found grazing in an untamed area called the “Co-rolla Outback”. Spotting the feisty horses is a popular OBX pastime.

5. The shifting sands of Jockey’s ridge, the largest natural sand dune on the east Coast (located in Nags Head), provide for lots of laughter and plenty of soft landings. Whether you choose to run down it or hand glide off of it, a dose of

the “Ridge” will leave some lasting impressions. While there, take ad-vantage of your early tee time. The sunsets over the sound from atop Jockey’s Ridge are spectacular.

6. Ask any regular visitor to OBX and he or she will most likely clue you in about breakfast at Sam & Omie’s or The Dunes Restaurant. Or lunch at Tortugas’ Lie. Or dinner at The Blue Point and AQUA (which also offers a killer golfer massage at its spa). Or takeout from Cur-rituck BBQ Company. Or in-home catering from Red Sky Cafe. These are just a sampling of the timeless dining experiences you’ll discover. There’s always a fresh catch of the day at any number of other fine eating establishments (i.e., North Banks Restaurant & Raw Bar, Coast-al Provisions and Ocean Boulevard Bistro & Martini Bar) that will keep you coming back for more.

7. Find your way to The lost Colony, a historical drama that tells the story of the first attempt at eng-lish settlement in the new World. An Outer Banks tradition and cultural treasure, The Lost Colony edu-cates, enriches and entertains. It is America’s longest running outdoor drama and is located on the north end of historic Roanoke Island.

8. The barrier islands of North Carolina are known for their storms and their mighty shipwrecks (a storm at sea is how the wild Spanish horses are said to have ended up where they are – tossed overboard, they swam to shore). Still, don’t let this curb your enthusiasm for fishing

in the region. The Outer Banks is renowned for offering some of the best angling opportunities in the world. If you prefer to stay tied to the land, stop by one of the many fishing shops and gear up for shore or pier fishing.

9. The monster of all monster truck racing vehicles is the Grave Digger. As the brainchild of Currituck native Dennis Anderson, the Grave Digger can be found at Digger’s Dungeon in Poplar Branch. The museum/tourist attraction is stocked with a wide variety of souvenirs. Don’t miss an opportunity to have all your buddies’ pictures taken next to the famed monster truck and its five-foot-plus tires.

10. From museums to parks and gardens, the Outer Banks golf destination is full of endless ac-tivities that reflect the area’s rich history and tradition. For those who like hunting lighthouses as much as they do birdies, the region is well known for a beautiful string of lighthouses that stretch from Corolla in the north all the way to Cape Hatteras in the south. One excursion that shouldn’t be missed is trip over to Knotts Island. A ferry operates from the mainland not far from The Carolina Club over to the marshy island bordered by the Currituck Sound, North Landing River, Back Bay and Knotts Island Bay. Knotts Island is home to Mackay Island National Wildlife Refuge. For duck hunters, Knotts Island is home to nu-merous duck hunting blinds located in the surrounding waters and on land.
