This might be the most underrated golf trip on the East Coast—and we’re breaking down the exact itinerary (courses, stays, eats, and a wild off-course surprise) to prove it.

In this episode of the golf podcast, we may have just found your next great golf trip — and it’s in a place you probably wouldn’t expect: the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

We break down why OBX is a legit hidden gem for golfers, with an awesome mix of courses (coastal vibes, water views, wind, and totally different layouts from day to day), plus plenty to do off the course if you’re bringing family or non-golfers. We also share how easy it is to get there (drive from the Northeast or fly into Norfolk and make a quick hop down), and why fall is the sweet spot for conditions and pricing.

We walk through our itinerary, including where we stayed at Kilmarlic Golf Club’s cottages, how we packed in 36-hole days with minimal driving, and the standout food stops like NC Coast Grill, JK’s steakhouse, and North Carolina barbecue. We also talk about one of the coolest non-golf experiences in the area: a wild horse tour in Corolla.

If you’re looking for an underrated, easy-to-plan golf trip with big destination energy, this one belongs on your shortlist.
