At The Members Club, designed by three-time U.S. Open Champion Hale Irwin, golfers of all skill levels can appreciate this 27-hole masterpiece. Immaculate greens and fairways make this impressive course especially golfer-friendly. The club has a chipping green and a big practice range right next to the clubhouse. The Members Club is an accomodating golf course with wide fairways making it one of the more "golfer-friendly" golf courses in Brunsiwick County, but by no means is an easy course to play. The first nine of this Hale Irwin course (sometimes called the “Irwin front”), offers two par-threes on holes three and eight. The second nine of the Irwin course (or the "Irwin back”), offers nine holes which measures only eighty-five yards longer than the front nine, but takes a considerable more amount of time to play through given the numerous elevation changes. Considered one of the best courses in Brunswick County, this course is 18 holes has achieved the designation “Audubon Certified Cooperative Sanctuaries” by Audubon International; a distinction shared by only a handful of courses in the entire state of North Carolina.
