About this course

Harbour Pointe Golf Club sits along the Neuse River in New Bern, North Carolina, a historic coastal town at the confluence of the Neuse and Trent rivers. The course was designed by Tom Johnson and D. I. DeVictor, with later involvement from Rees Jones, and occupies a low-country setting characteristic of eastern North Carolina's tidewater region. The routing takes advantage of natural water features, wetlands, and mature hardwoods that frame many holes, creating a layout where strategic positioning off the tee and accurate approach play prove essential. The property's proximity to the river and surrounding marshland introduces both scenic variety and tactical challenge. Several holes play along or across wetland areas, requiring carries over natural hazards and rewarding players who can work the ball in coastal breezes. The relatively flat terrain typical of the region is punctuated by subtle elevation changes and strategic bunkering that define landing areas and green complexes. The greens themselves feature enough contour to demand careful attention to pin placement and approach angles. Harbour Pointe serves as a semi-private facility that welcomes both members and daily-fee play, making it accessible to visitors exploring the New Bern area. The club provides a relaxed atmosphere reflective of coastal Carolina golf culture, where the emphasis remains on playable, enjoyable golf rather than extreme difficulty. The combination of water features, tree-lined fairways, and tidewater landscape gives the course a distinct regional character that appeals to golfers seeking an authentic eastern North Carolina experience.

Getting there

The journey to Harbour Pointe Golf Club begins at Coastal Carolina Regional Airport in New Bern itself, though most travelers route through Raleigh-Durham International roughly two hours northwest. The drive southeast traces the Neuse River's widening path toward the coast, trading Piedmont farmland for the low country's tidal marshes and moss-draped live oaks. As you enter New Bern - North Carolina's second-oldest town and former colonial capital - the route crosses bridges over dark, glassy water before arriving at Harbour Pointe's gated entrance along the Trent River, where the Carolina landscape opens into broad tidal views and the quiet rhythm of eastern waterways.
