Tee Off This Fall: Bald Head Island Club + The Inn

For serious golfers, fall is the season to travel. Cooler temperatures, fewer crowds, and pristine course conditions make it the perfect time to plan your next golf escape. On Bald Head Island, our celebrated course offers an unforgettable round—one that pairs beautifully with a stay at The Inn at Bald Head Island.

The Bald Head Island Club’s par-72 beauty winds through maritime forest, along salt marsh, and atop a dune ridge, where ocean breezes add to the challenge. Each round is memorable, but the course is especially known for its signature holes—like the par-3 16th, where a precise shot is required over water to a well-guarded green, or the long par-4 18th, which offers a dramatic finish framed by sweeping ocean views.

What makes this course truly distinctive is its unspoiled coastal setting. As you play, it’s common to encounter an abundance of wildlife—herons wading in the lagoons, ospreys overhead, and even the occasional alligator sunning along the banks. It’s golf in its most natural, inspired form.

After your round, retreat to The Inn at Bald Head Island. Just a short golf cart ride from the club, The Inn provides boutique comfort and relaxation, from marina-front porches perfect for watching the sunset to restful guest rooms designed for a great night’s sleep after a day on the links.

This fall, experience golf at its best: championship-caliber play, signature holes with stunning views, and the unmatched nature of Bald Head Island. A stay at The Inn includes membership in the Bald Head Island Club, so all you’ll need to do is book your room and reserve your tee times to ensure a golf vacation you’ll always remember.
