Open daily from 7:30 to 5:30 for 18-hole links-style golf along Roanoke Sound
Nags Head Golf Links sits where the northern Outer Banks narrows toward Roanoke Sound, and the course is built to take advantage of it. This is an 18-hole links-style layout — open, wind-exposed, laid out along the water instead of tucked behind trees — a design more associated with the coasts of the British Isles than the mid-Atlantic, and it's one of the more distinctive rounds of golf on this stretch of the Outer Banks. On the holes closest to the sound, the wind off the water becomes as much a factor as anything in the bag.
The club is part of the Invited network of clubs, the same group that operates private and semi-private clubs across the country, so it's worth calling ahead to check availability rather than assuming a walk-up round.
Because it's a links course, expect firm, fast fairways and fewer hazards than a typical tree-lined parkland layout — the wind does most of the defending here. Morning tee times tend to offer the calmest conditions before the sound breeze picks up later in the day.

This was a meh course for me. Lots of forced carries, hated the blind shot to the green on one of the holes, stacked tee times 8 minutes apart. Not a true links course, but I guess its links-adjacent, at least its better than Seascape golf links, which was a terrible course. Won't be back.

My son & I played the course while we’re on vacation. The clubhouse was very nice and the staff very friendly. Jim was the starter and was very helpful and informative. You can leave the driver at home, it’s very much a shot makers course but tons of fun. We’ll be back for another round next year.
