It is still a great place, just not like it used to be.
The one I am referring to is The Villages at Nags Head.
I was not implying that the course itself was beachfront, rather that the lots the resort were selling when it was developed are.
If you know when that place was built, you know that the beach road (Virginia Dare Trail) was relocated for a short stretch so that part of it is right beside the 158 Bypass. This made more of the golf course/resort’s property between the beach road and the high tide line.
Anyway, I usually go to Topsail Island now. MUCH less crowded.
