About Tigers Eye

Tiger's Eye at Ocean Ridge Plantation in Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina is one of the most dramatic and visually stunning golf courses in the Carolinas, designed by Tim Cate and featuring an 18-hole layout built across one of the most diverse and challenging pieces of coastal Carolina terrain in the region. The course is built within a nature preserve setting that incorporates ancient oaks draped in Spanish moss, native wetlands, white sand waste areas, and elevation changes unusual for the coastal plain. Tiger's Eye has earned a place among the top public courses in North Carolina and the Southeast, with Golf Digest consistently placing it on its 'Best Places to Play' lists. The course is part of the Ocean Ridge Plantation resort community and offers a premium experience commensurate with its reputation.

History

Tiger's Eye was designed by Tim Cate and opened in 1994 as part of the Ocean Ridge Plantation resort development in Brunswick County. Cate's design became immediately celebrated for its dramatic use of the site's ancient oaks, natural wetlands, and waste bunkers, earning comparisons to great American coastal courses far beyond the Carolinas. It launched a wave of premium public course development in the Ocean Isle Beach area and remains the jewel of Ocean Ridge Plantation's golf offerings.

Golf destination travelers and Carolinas enthusiasts who want to experience one of the region's most spectacular and critically acclaimed public courses.
