All
the best that coastal North Carolina has to offer can be found
at St. James Plantation. Located three miles north of Southport
on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, St. James Plantation
is a comfortable blend of four distinctive neighborhoods offering
a combined total of 63 challenging holes of golf, with another
18 holes under construction.
Outdoor life is THE way of life at this 3,700 acre gated community.
Named one of the 100 Best Mastered Planned Communities in America
by Where to Retire magazine, St. James Plantation features,
in addition to its four championship golf courses, a private
150-slip full service marina with dry storage on the Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway, five hard surfaced and clay tennis courts
and a private oceanfront beach club, St. James By The Sea, at
nearby Oak Island. Residents also enjoy Waterway Park, with
its biking and jogging trails, sheltered picnic facilities,
pavillion, and playground.
Add to that, an indoor swimming pool and fitness center, three
clubhouses with snack bars, fine dining and meeting rooms and
you can see there is always plenty to do year-round at St. James
Plantation. Many enjoy ocean bathing and boating on the Intracoastal
Waterway, but golf is clearly king at St. James Plantation.
The Founders Club, the first of the four courses built in the
early 1990's, is a P.B. Dye course that makes maximum use of
the marsh and Intracoastal Waterway vistas of this section of
Southeastern North Carolina. The final three holes play through
and over a series of lakes and marshes providing a spectacular
finish to each round. The Players Club, a Tim N. Cates design,
is a magnificent 72-par layout that is both challenging and
eye-pleasing, blending use of berms and bunkers with the natural
landscape of the region. The Members Club was recognized in
1996 by Golf Digest's "Places to Play" for its amenities
and first class service. The course is Hale Irwin's 72-par design
on 200 immaculately groomed acres. Tim Cates added an additional
nine holes to The Members Club, making this a 27-hole course.
Described
as "the best of the best, " The Reserve, now under
development, is the newest golf community in St. James. This
newest of the St. James neighborhoods is built around a championship
par 72 course designed by world renowned Jack Nicklaus.
