WILMINGTON MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE

The Donald Ross bones show through every green complex at this century-old Wilmington muni, where strategic bunkering and subtle slope changes reward thoughtful approach shots over brute force. Pine-framed fairways wind through classic Carolina lowcountry terrain, demanding precise iron play to elevated, crowned putting surfaces that punish the careless with wicked three-putts. This is honest, old-school golf that strips away the gimmicks and puts a premium on course management—exactly what Ross intended when he routed these holes through the coastal plain.
