Take a moment to imagine this setting: Ocean breezes blowing gently across barrier islands, beautiful coastal beaches, protected wetlands and ever-changing sand dunes, each one sculpted by nature.
Then, imagine the weather: a long mild autumn and pleasant spring season, not too hot in summer, nor too cold in winter.
Finally, imagine endless days of clear skies and beautiful sunsets overlooking several luxurious and distinct year-round golf courses.
These are just a few reasons to plan your next golfing vacation in Currituck County.
