Cape Fear National Golf

Cape Fear National #8 green

We had the privilege of playing Cape Fear National on Sunday morning. What a great course! From the time we pulled up to the bag drop we experienced fantastic service. The bag drop guys were very friendly and wanted to make sure we knew where everything was located. The pro shop personnel were courteous and treated us well. The starter was friendly and knowledgeable. This type of service extended throughout the day. About the course – Outstanding. The entire course is in great shape. It is a very memorable course with some of the best and fastest greens we have ever played. The extra care they take with the landscaping only adds to the attractiveness of the course. The course is well bunkered with sand that is playable. Water comes into play on several holes so you have to place your shots to avoid getting into trouble. A great experience and one I would rate in the 5 star category. Well worth the 55 minute drive from North Myrtle Beach and ranks as one of the best courses in our area.
