All four have been ranked among the North Carolina Golf Panel's 'Top 100 Courses in North Carolina,' and Tiger's Eye has earned 4.5 stars in Golf Digest's 'Places to Play' rankings. The community also has a private oceanfront beach club.

Golf & Course

The four Big Cats courses are marketed as a set and are the community's namesake identity rather than an incidental amenity -- a nuanced case the community itself leans into more than most amenity-golf developments in this market.
