Albemarle Plantation

Between boating on the Albemarle Sound, heading out to the unspoiled Outer Banks beaches or spending the day on the links challenging the 18 hole championship golf course, the choice could be tough deciding which way to enjoy your day at in one of the well known coastal retirement communities. With a milder four season climate, the Ablemarle Plantation golf course is open year round for play. The golf course was renovated in 2010 and it looks great. The putting greens were renovated in 2012 and the greens were renovated in 2013.
