About this course

The Pointe Golf Club sits in Powells Point, a small community on the Currituck Sound in northeastern North Carolina, part of the Outer Banks region. Designed by Russell Breeden, the course occupies a coastal landscape characterized by flat to gently rolling terrain, natural wetlands, and views across the sound. Breeden, a North Carolina-based architect active from the 1960s through the 1990s, designed numerous courses throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, often working with the natural contours and water features of coastal and piedmont sites. The routing takes advantage of the property's water frontage and marshland edges, with several holes playing along or near the sound. The layout incorporates native grasses, pines, and live oaks typical of the Carolina coastal plain, and the design emphasizes strategic shot-making around water hazards and wetland areas rather than dramatic elevation change. Wind from the sound can be a factor, particularly on holes with open exposure to the water. The Pointe serves as a semi-private facility and functions as the centerpiece of a residential community in the Currituck County area. The club provides access to both members and daily-fee play, typical of many Outer Banks golf properties that balance local membership with seasonal visitor traffic. The course offers a regional option for golfers exploring the northern Outer Banks, an area less densely developed with golf courses than the southern barrier islands but growing as a golf destination over recent decades.

Getting there

The journey to The Pointe Golf Club begins at Norfolk International Airport in Virginia, roughly forty-five minutes north across the state line, though some travelers opt for the smaller Dare County Regional Airport on the Outer Banks for a more intimate arrival. The drive south from Norfolk traces the edge of the Currituck Sound, where mainland North Carolina narrows into a slender peninsula caught between inland waters and the Atlantic beyond. As Highway 158 carries you through Powells Point, the landscape flattens into tidal marshes and low maritime forest, the air growing saltier with each mile - a quiet transition into the coastal stillness that defines this remote corner of the Albemarle-Pamlico region, where The Pointe awaits on its secluded waterfront perch.
