Comments - Designed in 1962 by legendary George Cobb, Oak Island Golf Course winds through gently rolling maritime forests in Caswell Beach, just 20 miles south of Wilmington. Several of Cobb's designs were used as professional tournament sites, even though Cobb prided himself in providing attractive, playable layouts that resort players found enjoyable, not frustrating. This Wilmington golf course is also just North of Myrtle Beach without the large crowds, so golfing at Oak Island Golf Course is a relaxed activity. Wilmington golf courses are noted for fair weather, wind, and fun as they are all located within 20 minutes from the pristine North Carolina beaches, great restaurants, and the University of North Carolina at Wilmington.  Often overshadowed by Myrtle Beach, outstanding golf courses abound in the surrounding towns of Leland, Hampstead, Southport, Wilmington and Bald Head Island.
