Detailed description of Ocean Harbour Golf Links, CLOSED 2006

Ocean Harbour Golf Links is a Public, 18 hole golf course located in Calabash, North Carolina.

Ocean Harbour Golf Links first opened for play in 1989. The course was designed by Clyde Johnston.

Ranked among the best of the Grand Strand by many golf publications, this Clyde Johnston layout, set on a peninsula between the Calabash River, Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic Ocean and crossed four times by the North-South Carolina border, is memorable, both visually and in its playing excitement and challenge.

Tucked away in an ancient coastal forest between the Intracoastal Waterway, the Atlantic Ocean and the Calabash River, Ocean Harbour offers the most wonderful series of deep water and marsh golf holes you'll ever see. Traditional golf design and nature's perfection united into a true player's course that you won't soon forget.

The signature hole at Ocean Harbour Golf Links is #7, a 499-yard, par 5, that requires shots over three marshes between the Calabash Creek and the ocean. The terrain offers vistas of the centuries-old live oaks, expansive fairways, marshlands and a rare view of the Atlantic Ocean. The Little River and Calabash River are additional sources of water on the course. Guests can watch the bright sails of the boats as they enter the channels on their way to the ocean from the marinas that surround the Ocean Harbour property. Wildlife abounds on and around this course, with deer, osprey, gulls, fox, quail, herons and egrets, just to name some of the different species that you may encounter. This course's design features holes that take strategic advantage of the property's abundant saltwater marshes and beautiful Intracoastal Waterways, along with the natural elevation of the land. Water hazards come into play on eleven holes.

Ocean Harbour Golf Links is a par-72 layout that plays to 6,056 yards from the forward tees and 6,879 yards from the back tees.

Ocean Harbour Golf Links closed in 2006.
