Sea Scape Golf Links

Sea Scape Golf Links sits along the Outer Banks in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, designed by Art Wall and opened in 1965. Wall, better known as a PGA Tour professional who won the 1959 Masters Tournament, applied his playing experience to create a layout that navigates the distinctive coastal terrain of this barrier island region. The course occupies land characterized by the sandy soils, maritime winds, and relatively flat topography typical of the Outer Banks, with design features that reflect both the environmental constraints and opportunities of seaside golf in this part of North Carolina. The routing takes advantage of the natural landscape, incorporating the wind as a central strategic element throughout the round. Players encounter holes where club selection and shot shape must account for prevailing breezes that shift with weather patterns moving across the Atlantic. The design includes water hazards and bunkers positioned to challenge approach shots and demand accuracy from the tee, while the coastal vegetation frames fairways and defines playing corridors. Sea Scape serves both visitors to the Outer Banks and local golfers, functioning as part of the region's collection of accessible public courses. The facility reflects the practical, straightforward design approach common to many courses built during the 1960s expansion of American golf, prioritizing playability across skill levels while maintaining enough challenge to engage experienced players. Its location in Kitty Hawk places it within the broader recreational infrastructure of North Carolina's northern Outer Banks.
