Hampstead sits in the heart of Pender County, straddling the line between the greater Wilmington metro and the quieter reaches of North Carolina's southern coastal plain. This part of the state enjoys a long golf season — mild winters and abundant sunshine make it a year-round destination — and the area has developed a genuine golf culture anchored by the proximity to Wilmington's resort and residential corridors along the Cape Fear coast.
Castle Bay is a private country club experience in a community that has grown steadily as coastal Carolina has attracted retirees, families, and second-home buyers drawn to the beaches of Topsail Island, just a few miles east. That residential setting shapes what a club like this tends to be: a social anchor for the community, where the golf is serious but the atmosphere leans toward member enjoyment and familiarity over tournament prestige.
A par-72 layout in this low-lying coastal terrain typically works with water, wetlands, and maritime pines — the land doesn't offer dramatic elevation, so architects lean on strategic bunkering and water corridors to create interest and separate scores.
