2. The Members Club designed by three-time U.S. Open Champion Hale Irwin, golfers of all skill levels can appreciate this 27-hole masterpiece. Immaculate greens and fairways make this impressive course especially golfer-friendly. The club has a chipping green and a big practice range right next to the clubhouse. The Members Club is an accomodating golf course with wide fairways making it one of the more "golfer-friendly" golf courses in Brunsiwick County, but by no means is an easy course to play.

3. The Players Club was designed by North Carolina's own Tim Cate. It features cart carries over lakes and salt marshlands and is surrounded by thick native foliage. Tim Cate is renowned by both players and course architects for his fantastic course design, and the Players Club is no exception. The Players Club is littered with Cate's personal trademarks that integrate a modern feel to an otherwise traditional course. These are 18 holes of true challenge regardless of your handicap.

4. The Reserve Club was built through acres of wetlands, features A1 bentgrass greens, bunkers with predominantly grass faces rather than high sand faces, and areas of mulch and bark in and along the edges of tree lines. Each hole is set off on its own and is surrounded by either wetlands, water, thick trees or underbrush, so if you miss a fairway you likely lose a ball. And there are several carries over wetlands or water.
