Tiger’s Eye Golf Links
Designed by renowned architect Tim Cate, Tiger’s Eye Golf Links in Ocean Isle Beach is one of four acclaimed designs in the “Big Cats” family at Ocean Ridge Plantation. Recognized by Golf Digest as one of the “Top 100 Public Courses in America,” this links-style layout offers a true test of golf in a distinctive landscape featuring native grasses and wildflowers, along with scenic salt marshes and waterfalls that create a memorable Lowcountry setting. The course delivers both challenge and beauty from start to finish.
The signature hole, No. 18, is a dramatic 525-yard par 5 and widely considered one of the most difficult — and most scenic — on the property. With a waterfall at the tee box, a stream crossing the fairway, and plenty of sand guarding the approach, it is a closing hole that demands precision and strategy. Tiger’s Eye has also earned strong praise from golfers for its friendly staff and all-around quality experience, making it a favorite among visitors to the Carolina coast.
