Golf in Southport

Southport is a small historic port town in Brunswick County, at the mouth of the Cape Fear River across from Bald Head Island. The town is one of the oldest settlements in Brunswick County, with a well-preserved historic district, a maritime museum, and a waterfront on the Cape Fear River facing the barrier island of Bald Head. Southport is accessible by ferry to Bald Head Island, and its small-town waterfront character makes it a popular destination in the Brunswick County coast. The town's setting at the confluence of the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic gives it a distinctive geographic and maritime identity.
