Castle Bay Links in Hampstead: 18-hole links track with full practice and clubhouse bar
Castle Bay Country Club, known as Castle Bay Links, brings a coastal links profile to Hampstead with 18 holes set for a par‑72 day, featuring few trees, tall bunkers, water and waste areas that demand precise lines in the wind [1][6]. The course sits at 107 Links Court on the north side of town, anchoring play just minutes from the coast [7].Practice is a priority here: a 7,200‑sq‑ft grass range pairs with a 40‑yard hitting mat, a large Bermuda putting green, and a short‑game complex that includes a sizeable greenside bunker and multiple target greens [1]. After the round, the Bar at Castle Bay inside the clubhouse covers the staples — sandwiches, burgers, wraps and salads — with rotating weekend specials [1].Booking is straightforward. Players can secure tee times and check course info on major platforms like GolfNow and scan peer reviews and details on GolfPass [5][6]. Membership options and posted rates live on the club’s site for those planning regular play [2].Opened in 1999 and credited to designer Randy Blanton, the layout leans into classic links themes — ground game, angles and managing the breeze [4][6]. Homes ring several corridors as part of the surrounding Castle Bay golf community, underscoring its neighborhood feel [8]. The property also hosts instruction through Carolina Coastal Golf Instruction on site [7]. For updates and photos around the club, the Facebook page stays active [3].
