Bald Head Island Club

Overview: Bald Head Island Club's golf course is a private George Cobb design on Bald Head Island. The routing moves through maritime forest, freshwater lagoons and a dune ridge, creating a coastal setting without reducing the course to an oceanfront description. Tim Cate later renovated the course while preserving its island character.

History: George Cobb's course opened in 1974. The club and island history describe a later renovation by Tim Cate, while the current golf page emphasizes the natural areas and vistas that remain central to the layout. Club access and the island location are practical parts of the identity.

Did You Know? Bald Head Island's course is threaded through maritime forest and freshwater lagoons as well as dunes. That combination is why the course is better classified as an island/coastal routing than as a conventional links course beside open ocean.
