Located four miles north of downtown Wilmington and just west of Figure Eight Island is where you'll find Porters Neck Country Club, one of the area's most attractive Wilmington NC golf communities. Mature trees, accent lakes and winding roads weave in and around this family friendly neighborhood in one of the top places to live in North Carolina. Architectural styles built by the finest custom home builders in Wilmington NC reflect French Country, Colonial and traditional brick. The Tom Fazio designed golf course has been named #1 Coastal Golf Course by Golf Digest. In 2005-2006, the Fazio Group oversaw a major renovation of the golf course, including new greens and bunkers. Eight tee boxes accommodate golfers of all skill levels. The community's 15,000 square foot golf clubhouse offers dining and is the social hub of the community.

Porters Neck Country Club Reviews

4.6 / 5 (77 reviews)
"Direct proximity to some of the most beautiful, preserved beaches and barrier islands in the country. We bought our lot in 1992, built on it in 2006 for retirement -- and have found the developers / leadership a constant . . . and always looking for ways to improve. For example, new Sports Center a couple of years ago."

"Residents are warm and welcoming to newcomers. It's easy to get into regular tennis, golf, bridge games, etc. There are enough unmarried women to ensure a single woman always has someone to go places and do things with."

"We love that Porters Neck is established and attracts so many diverse folks from all over the country. As relative newbies (we've been here two years) we were warmly welcomed and found it easy to meet new friends. The amenities are terrific and we continue to pinch ourselves over the fact that we have such easy access to golf, fitness and social activities. We are still exploring all that Wilmington has to offer outside our community and are happy with the diversity of entertainment and cultural options. We could not be happier in finding such a wonderful community to retire to. "

"Porters Neck Plantation is a community made up of retirees from colder climates, young families transferred to the area and people relocated to be near their families. Everyone always has a wave and a smile as you walk or drive by. There is a high percentage of those interested in the Community well-being as well as the local politics. It is an all around friendly and beautifully maintained place to live. "
