Nags Head Golf Links. Opened in 1986, this Scottish-links-style course borders Roanoke Sound, which is visible from five holes. Sea grass and rolling dunes separate most tees and greens, and brambles growing in the rough make accurate shots a priority. Make sure you bring plenty of spare golf balls. Together with coastal winds and a rugged shoreline, this makes for one of the area's most challenging courses, best suited to long hitters. This is a membership golf club, but the public can play the course. 5615 S. Seachase Dr., Nags Head, North Carolina, 27959. 252/441–8073; www.clubcorp.com/Clubs/Nags-Head-Golf-Links.
