South Harbour Golf Links

South Harbour Golf Links occupies coastal terrain in Southport, North Carolina, a historic town situated where the Cape Fear River meets the Atlantic Ocean. Designer Edwin Burnett routed the course through lowcountry landscape characteristic of the region, where tidal marshes, maritime forests, and waterways shape the playing corridors. The setting reflects the natural environment of North Carolina's southern coast, with views extending across wetlands and toward the river system that has defined Southport since its establishment as a colonial port. The layout incorporates the area's flat to gently rolling topography, with holes playing through and alongside marshland edges. Water features prominently in the design, both as strategic elements and as defining characteristics of the coastal Carolina golf experience. The routing takes advantage of prevailing winds off the water, adding a variable element to club selection and shot-making throughout the round. Southport itself maintains a small-town character despite proximity to larger coastal resort areas, and the course serves both local membership and visiting golfers drawn to the Brunswick County region. The facility operates within the residential community development common to North Carolina's coastal golf properties, where the course anchors a broader real estate context while remaining accessible to outside play.
