HARBINGER, N.C. (February 26, 2009) – Among its many glowing descriptions, North Carolina’s Outer Banks has been called, “The land of beginnings.” Indeed, from England’s first attempt to colonize the Americas, to the Wright Brothers’ considerable role in helping transport mankind into the age of aviation, the Outer Banks have majestically stood as an important chapter in the history book of modern civilization.
To their residents and their devoted visitors who return year after year, the Outer Banks remain an equally special place where time seems to have tapped the brakes just a little, and breathtaking beauty envelops the spirit and sets it soaring. Along with tranquil beaches, luxurious accommodations and exhilarating recreational activities, these sandy barrier islands also boast seven championship golf courses that make the Outer Banks a perfect place to escape for a spring golf getaway.
Targeting those who count this area as the Carolinas’ ultimate coastal golf destination, Outer Banks Golf Travel and has announced a special spring package through May 31, 2009, which includes three days of golf on three of its championship courses – Kilmarlic Golf Club, Sea Scape Golf Links and The Carolina Club – along with two nights lodging at either the Ramada Inn Oceanfront ($235 per person) or the Hilton Garden Inn ($284 per person).
Prices are good through May 31, 2009, are all-inclusive, based on double occupancy, good weekdays (Monday-Thursday only), and include 18 holes plus cart at each course.
Best known as host site of the 2004 and 2009 North Carolina Opens, Kilmarlic Golf Club is nestled among 605 acres of maritime forest and sprawling wetlands. Award-winning golf course architect Tom Steele’s classic design creates stimulating challenges with its outstanding layout and conditioning, as it meanders through canopies of giant oak, pine and dogwood that exemplify the natural beauty of North Carolina’s Outer Banks and illustrate Kilmarlic’s unique partnership between golf and nature – not to mention a remarkable 15 acres of coastal ponds and lakes creating scenic natural hazards.
Former Masters champion Art Wall designs Sea Scape Golf Links in true Scottish links style. Located one block from the ocean in beautiful Kitty Hawk, the course employs the windswept sand dunes and maritime forest to showcase the natural beauty of the Outer Banks. Dramatic elevation changes offer ocean views from several of the beautiful holes – a unique coastal environment that played host to the 2000 North Carolina Open.
Last but certainly not least, the “locals’ choice” for great golf on the Outer Banks is The Carolina Club, which features superb bent grass greens and a picturesque par-3 island green. Five sets of tees and strong ocean breezes allow you to match your game to the challenge, ensuring that all skill levels will have an enjoyable time.
Three memorable golf courses, world-class accommodations and a history lesson to boot? To book this package and request more information, visit OBXGolfTravel.com or call 252-491-5460.
