Course Report
Eagle Point hosted the 2017 Wells Fargo Championship, a rare PGA Tour event for such a private, exclusive club.
About
Eagle Point Golf Club in Wilmington, North Carolina, is a private Tom Fazio design opened in 2000. Famous for its pristine conditions and exclusive setting, the course showcases classic Fazio routing over rolling land, water features, and meticulously maintained fairways. The club is lauded for its Augusta-like turf quality and finely appointed amenities, offering a high-caliber golf experience to members and their guests.
Caddie Tip
Trust your reads on the greens—speed is consistently fast. Favor the safe side of fairways to avoid water and dense rough. Pay close attention to pin placements, as misjudging tiers on greens can easily lead to difficult two-putts or worse. Use your caddie's local knowledge, especially on approaches.
The Main Challenge
The greatest challenge at Eagle Point is mastering its fast, complex greens and accurately navigating the many water hazards that come into play. Strategic tee shots are often required to avoid well-placed bunkers, and approach shots must be precise to avoid difficult recovery situations.
The Good
Golfers praise the Augusta-like playing conditions, attentive caddie service, and the tranquil, wooded setting near the marshes of coastal Carolina. The course offers a blend of strategic challenge and pure fun on every hole, punctuated by the slick, undulating greens and flawless fairways.
The Not So Good
Some visitors mention the exclusivity limits access to the greater golf community. Others note that while the course is consistently in remarkable condition, inclement weather can lead to soggier playing surfaces typical for this coastal region. Reservation flexibility for non-members is also limited.
