It’s time to get away from the cold and check out our beautiful coastal golf courses. We have more than a dozen championship courses right here in
Brunswick County, and dozens more are in the neighboring
Myrtle Beach area.
Here’s a special treat for the season. Check out the current offer for a package staying at
The Winds Resort Beach Club in Ocean Isle Beach. For only $61 a person you can share a suite plus a daily round of golf including greens fees, cart fee and hot southern breakfast buffet.
Here’s one suggested course: the Byrd Course at
Sea Trail in nearby Sunset Beach. Sea Trail was named in
2009 Golfweek’s Best in the “Courses of Distinction,” also in "America’s Best Residential Courses of Distinction" for the fourth year. It recently was voted "Best of Brunswick County" by the readers of the
Brunswick Beacon. The Willard Byrd Course is 6750 yards featuring undulating greens of Bermuda grass. The manmade lakes and ponds deliver scenic beauty at every hole. Another choice may be the Dan Maples Course, also at Sea Trail, a one-of-a-kind course with A1/A4 blended bent grass greens. This course is 6751 yards and features five holes winding along the Calabash Creek. You can often see nesting osprey and unique coastal wildlife while you make that perfect putt.
Grab a golfing buddy and contact The Winds to book this special now before the rates go up for spring. Nothing could be finer than winter golf in the Carolinas! You know you deserve it!
