Outer Banks golf trip questions

Where should we stay for an Outer Banks golf trip?

Most groups rent a large beach house. Staying central — Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills or Southern Shores — keeps drives to most courses short.

How windy is golf on the Outer Banks?

Expect wind most days. Pack a lower-flighted ball, club up, and plan your hardest rounds for the morning when it's usually calmer.
