Golf
Golfers find themselves in heaven at Albemarle Plantation!
"A brilliant Dan Maples-designed championship course, this course has something for all skill levels and flows gracefully through our unique coastal terrain. Towering pines and moss-draped cypress, gently waving marshes, stretching wetlands add beauty and challenge. The course crescendos to an incredible finish with a dramatic trio of holes along the breathtaking Albemarle Sound. The course’s satisfying play and stunning natural scenery is enough to make you forget your score, should you wish to do so."
