The Southport Lifestyle
“We joined for the golf. We stayed for the sunsets on the beach pavilion, the community, the way our grandkids learn to swim in the lagoon while we play the Ocean Course.” — Member since 2012
“Two completely different championship courses. One day you’re playing links golf with the Atlantic wind. Next day you’re in a Pete Dye masterpiece through maritime forest. Never gets old.” — Scratch golfer, joined 2018
