Best Golf Courses Near Leland, NC

Just across the Brunswick and Cape Fear rivers from Wilmington, North Carolina, Leland offers access to all of the attractions and excitement of a vibrant city as well as the slower pace and tranquility that comes with being a small town. There’s no shortage of public and private golf when you visit Leland. While Cape Fear Country Club and Eagle Point Golf Club top the area’s private course roster, a tee time at nationally ranked Cape Fear National at Brunswick Forest, where you must contend with vast sandy waste areas, wetlands, and decorative waterfalls, is highly coveted.
