Tips for Playing Nags Head Golf Links

When playing Nags Head Golf Links, always factor in the wind. The coastal breezes are a constant presence and can dramatically affect ball flight, especially on holes adjacent to the sound. Consider taking an extra club into the wind and a club less downwind. Also, be prepared for firm and fast conditions, typical of a links-style course, which can lead to more roll on your drives and require a delicate touch around the greens. Don't rush your round; take time to appreciate the stunning views of the Roanoke Sound, especially on the back nine. The course can be quite walkable, but carts are available. After your round, the clubhouse offers a comfortable setting to relax and enjoy a meal with views overlooking the course and sound. Booking tee times in advance, especially during peak season, is highly recommended.
