The majority of people that I talk to who don’t live around this area tell me I’m very blessed to have my home in a location that is surrounded by so many golf courses. From Wilmington, North Carolina, to the north down through Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, to the south, there are so many courses I can’t even begin to count them all. These are championship golf courses designed by golf pros, too!

I suppose they’re right. I really am blessed when it comes to golf courses but to be perfectly honest, I prefer the Ocean Isle Beach golf courses closer to home. It’s these Ocean Isle Beach golf courses that see the most of me and it’s on these courses that I’ve learned how to play my game, and play it well.

You see, I have access to the Big Cats Golf Courses at Ocean Ridge Plantation right here in Ocean Isle Beach. If you’ve never played on any of these four courses, I highly recommend you give them your time. These are four world-class, championship layouts that are both beautiful and challenging courses and I never grow tired of them.

The Big Cats are award winning courses repeatedly in Top 10 lists by Golf Digest and Golf Magazine. Big Cats at Ocean Ridge consists of Lion's Paw® Golf Links, Panther's Run® Golf Links, Tiger’s Eye® Golf Links, and the newest course, Leopard’s Chase® Golf Club.

So while there are many fine courses all over the Brunswick Islands and the surrounding area, you’d be hard pressed to find any quite as special as these Big Cats.
