Thinking About Living in Bald Head Island Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Bald Head Island Club and the surrounding Brunswick County -- Southport/St. James Corridor golf market.
Bald Head Island Club sits on Bald Head Island, a car-free barrier island reachable only by a 20-minute passenger ferry from Deep Point Marina in Southport or by private boat -- a genuinely unusual physical access constraint beyond what any gate provides. The club's George Cobb-designed course (1974, restored by Tim Cate) is paired with a tiered membership system in which specific homes carry specific membership designations that determine amenity access.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Club access follows a tiered membership system tied to specific properties: homes with Full or Lifestyle Membership include access to all club amenities (including golf); homes with Social Membership do NOT include golf access; and homes with House Membership are limited to the Aquatics Complex and dining only. A limited, paid guest-pass system exists for visitors, with additional fees for late registration or peak-season cancellation. Buyers must confirm which membership designation, if any, is attached to a specific home before assuming any level of club or golf access.
Location & Surrounding Area
Reached by a 20-minute passenger ferry from Deep Point Marina in Southport, or by private boat; there are no personal vehicles on the island (golf carts are the standard mode of transport).
