Cape Fear National at Brunswick Forest

This is unequivocally the best public golf course in and around Wilmington! There is literally nothing bad about this place. The greens are magnificent, the fairways are in top notch shape. It's a challenging golf course with lots of sand and water. Credit to the ground's crew for keeping all of the bunkers in great shape, particularly during covid. They have an amazingly extensive and scenic practice area including a perfect driving range with plenty of grass to hit off of, two huge chipping greens and a large putting green. Range balls are also cheaper than most golf courses. The clubhouse a…

One of the biggest things the coastal North Carolina area has going for it is a fantastic climate; outdoor recreational activities can be enjoyed year-round and the mild winter temperatures are perfect for golf. Renowned golf course architect Tim Cate has created a course that takes the area’s heavily undulating land and winds its way through wetlands, waterfalls, and beach bunkers. Although the course is carved from acres of forest, trees are not that much of a factor. Instead, North Carolina native grasses and wildflowers are often found bordering Cate’s signature feature – waste bunkers th…

First new golf course of 2019 and drove to . Cape Fear National to play 18 in the sun and what turned out to be a very strong wind, 1 or 2 clubs worth of wind if I'm honest. First impressions, this place looks great, staff were friendly. Tee-boxes were immaculate as were the greens. The bit in between nah. Now we have had some rain down in NC, nothing to heavy in the last week though, but man was this place sodden, virtually squelched everywhere you walked on the fairways. It's bad enough trying to hit drives in the wind but with soaking fairways it made your driving even more depressing with…

Loved this course. Beautiful scenery. Tee boxes in great shape. Greens absolutely perfect. You will spend some time in the sand, there's plenty. The clubhouse is Beautiful and pro shop has some really nice merchandise. I feel like at 80ish dollars it is priced just right.

I've had Cape Fear National on my list of courses to play in the Wilmington area for the last 9 months. I'll admit that I was a bit weary reading some of the other reviews here but gave it a shot this am. Do yourself a favor and pay the premium to play this course. If you're into low-country golf, every hole on this course will be aesthetically pleasing. The course itself was in excellent condition (especially greens) and the customer service I received was fantastic; everyone was also wearing masks. Tee'd off as a 3-some at 7:24a and played in 3.5 hours. Excited to come back.

I played on Tuesday, September 23. The course was in phenomenal shape. The greens were rolling smooth and fair. I’m not sure that I’ve hit off of flatter tee boxes. The staff was really kind and helpful. The guys at the backdrop ensure that we had a good round.

Outstanding course. My brother in law works there so he was able to get me on. The fairways and greens were excellent as long as you stayed on them. There is a lot of sand and some water but stay in the fairways and you’ll be fine. The bag staff and rangers were all wonderful and extremely helpful.

Played golf here for the first time while vacationing in the area. The course was in excellent shape, particularly the greens and tee boxes. The course is beautifully designed. One nice feature is you don't see other golfers besides those playing in front or back of you since the holes are spread out. I played from the blues and the forced carries weren't too bad, with the longest being about 200 yards. You can lose a lot of balls here if you don't hit it straight. There are many water features but unfortunately the water falls weren't turned on when we were there. Not sure why but they have y…

Private course that is part of the Heritage Golf group. The course is fantastic, greens fast, and the clubhouse impeccable

The course was great! Every hole played, and looked different. The greens, and fairways were extremely well kept! On top of a great facility, the staff was kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Would come back again for sure!

My husband loves this course. By far the nicest one in the area.

Have played it four times during Myrtle Beach golf trips. It's my favorite course to play anywhere. It's a beautiful course. If this course was located in Myrtle Beach it would cost $30 -$50 more to play. The course layout is challenging but fair. The greens are large, firm and very fast. The clubhouse is very nice. Excellent food at the restaurant and the pro shop has quality stuff. On a scale of 1 to 10 its a 10.
