Gold Course
Paradise Point Golf Club

About this course
Paradise Point Golf Club's Gold Course sits within the boundaries of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in coastal North Carolina, designed by George Cobb and serving the military community stationed at one of the nation's largest Marine Corps installations. Cobb, a prolific mid-century architect known for accessible, strategic designs throughout the Carolinas, routed the course through the low-country terrain characteristic of this region—relatively flat with stands of pine and hardwood, natural wetlands, and the sandy soils common to the coastal plain. The layout reflects Cobb's practical approach to military golf, balancing playability for a wide range of abilities with enough strategic interest to engage skilled players. Water features and the natural drainage patterns of the area come into play on several holes, while the tree-lined corridors require accuracy from the tee. The course serves active-duty personnel, retirees, and authorized guests, functioning as both a recreational amenity and a venue for military golf events. As a military facility course, Paradise Point operates within the traditions of service golf—accessible green fees for service members, a straightforward pace of play, and a clubhouse atmosphere that reflects the base community. The Gold Course shares the property with additional nine-hole layouts, providing options for different skill levels and time constraints. The setting offers a quiet retreat within the working military base, with the coastal Carolina landscape providing a natural backdrop distinct from the training grounds and operational areas elsewhere on Camp Lejeune.

Getting there
The journey to Paradise Point Golf Club begins at Wilmington International Airport, roughly forty minutes south along the Carolina coast, though Jacksonville's Albert J. Ellis Airport offers a closer alternative for those seeking a more direct approach. From either hub, the route traces Highway 17 north through low-country marshland and stands of live oak, eventually crossing onto the sprawling grounds of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. Access requires military credentials or prior guest authorization, lending the arrival a quiet, insulated quality - a transition from civilian highway to gated installation, where the final miles wind past training ranges and pine forests before revealing the clubhouse overlooking the serene waters of the New River.
