The Emerald Golf Course is located in the highly desired Greenbrier subdivision. This upscale
neighborhood is near the
center of New Bern and is convenient to just about everything. The picture above is me letting it fly off the first
tee at the Emerald.
Greenbrier is a neighborhood well suited for families with young children as
well as retirees. Here you will find a nice blend of homes ranging from large 2 story
homes on one acre lots to town homes and small patio homes with all
exterior maintenance taken care of for you. Home
prices range from $200,000 to $550,000.
The entire development surrounds an 18-hole championship golf course designed by
renowned architect Rees Jones.
The course is almost 7000 yards from the back tees but only the
young limber backs dare to play from there. The other 3 tee boxes make this course
a very challenging but fair tract.
The Country Club includes an Olympic-sized pool and four lighted
tennis courts. Golf club members can sharpen their skills on one of
the finest practice facilities in the area.
All this for very reasonable monthly dues.

Greenbrier has been a very popular golf course community over the
past 20 years. Reasonable priced homes, a convenient location, and a
great golf course are just some of the reasons that is the case. If
you would like to see what homes are available send me an email at
Riverbend Golf and Country Club
River Bend was the 3rd golf course community in the area. Riverbend
subdivision was started in the late 1960's. At that time it was
considered to be way out in the country but in fact it is only 10
minutes or so from mid town New Bern.
The picture above shows the Riverbend Marina. In
addition to golf and tennis, boating is very popular in this
waterfront community
Riverbend golf course was built in the early 70's. Gene Hamm, who has designed
quite a few golf courses in the Pinehurst and Myrtle
Beach areas, was the designer and also was the
General Contractor.
Riverbend Golf Course
was
sold about 8 years ago and the new owner, Frank Fragale, completely rebuilt the greens and fairways.
Riverbend is now considered one of the areas best
tracts. In addition to
rebuilding the golf course Frank tore the old clubhouse
down and built a new facility complete with a well
stocked pro shop, restaurant, and
banquet room. Also included in club membership are
access to tennis courts and the areas largest
swimming pool. Shown below is a picture of the
practice range.
Riverbend is a warm friendly community with a
mixture of young professionals and retirees that
have moved here
from all over the country. The majestic Trent River winds
around the south side of Riverbend and the Riverbend
Canal cuts through the center of town. Riverbend has
very reasonably priced waterfront and golf course homes.
Another attraction to many are the miles and miles
of pedestrian friendly streets.
For boaters
that do not live on the water there is a 100 slip
marina in Riverbend that will accomadate up to 54'
boat.
For those that would rather play
tennis, Riverbend is home to the areas finest tennis
facility.

Riverbend
consists mainly of single-family dwellings, most
with attached or detached one and two car garages.
In recent years, clusters of townhouses and duplexes
were added to the community. Prices range from about
$100,000 for a non-waterfront townhouse to $500,000
for a larger home on the Trent River. It is hard to beat Riverbend for affordability convenience to New Bern.

that your shot selection changes. That variety will make golfers of all ages
and abilities want to return time and time again."

Taberna is one of New Bern's newer golf course communities. Located about 5 miles
South East of
downtown New Bern on US 70 East and 25 miles West of Atlantic
Beach this development was started in the mid 1990's.
The Taberna golf course is well manicured and user
friendly, with wide fairways and rather large greens. This is not to
say it is an easy course, however it takes a rather errant tee ball
to get you into trouble. In my opinion it is a great layout.
Taberna Country Club has a full-service clubhouse
with pro shop, restaurant,
tennis courts, and junior-Olympic sized pool with a pool-side snack
bar.
If tennis is your game, you'll enjoy the four,
lighted championship Har-Tru courts. Features of the community include rolling hills, dense foliage,
lakes, streams and wetlands, along with pedestrian trails. A canoe
dock leads to the beautiful Brices Creek which meanders for miles
into the Croatan National Forrest.
Residences at the 1,100-acre golfing community include
mostly single family homes with some patio homes and golf villas scattered throughout.
This community is attractive to both working professionals as well as retirees.
In Taberna you will find some of New Bern's finest custom homes as it seems
builders were all trying to out do one another. Real estate prices range from $220,000
to $550,000.
The close proximinity to downtown New Bern, Cherry Point,
and Atlantic Beach, plus a great golf course, and
large assortment of homes make Taberna one of the
areas most popular golfing communities in Eastern
NC.

New Bern Golf and Country Club
The picture above
show me lining up a putt on the 18th green at New
Bern Golf and Country Club. In the background is the
17th green and 18th tee. To the right you see a
portion of Eastern NC Yacht Club. Notice the shrubs
by the 18th tee box NBGCC. New Bern Golf and Country
Club is the oldest course in Eastern North Carolina
and the front 9 was designed with the help of
legendary Donald Ross.

New Bern Golf
and Country Club is located in the quaint town of Trent Woods. This
highly desirable community is absolutely amazing in the spring as
the vast array of dogwoods and azaleas frame the winding country
road.
Trent Woods is located adjacent to the city
of New Bern and bordered on the South side by the
picturesque Trent River Shown above.
New Bern Golf coarse is short, 6000
yards from the championship tees, but very challenging. I have seen
0 handicap long knockers shoot in the 80s. The tiny greens make even
short shots difficult. A truly great golf course. The 17th and 18th
are played over the Majestic Trent River and are 2 of the finest
finishing holes you will find.
The Clubhouse is hands down the
finest in Eastern NC and one of the finest in the entire state. You
really have to see it to appreciate the natural beauty and scenery.
From the bar and dining room you can watch golfers hitting into the
18th green or watch boaters skiing by.
Because Trent Woods is a mature community almost all of the homes are
over 25 years old. Homes prices in
Trent Woods range from $175,000-$400,000. Waterfront
homes range from $400,000 on Wilson Creek to $15
million on the Trent River.
Only minutes from shopping, medical care, good schools,
and historic downtown New Bern, Trent Woods is
appealing to both young professionals and retirees.
FYI it is about a 25 minutes to the back gate of
Cherry Point Marine Air Station.

Carolina Pines Golf and Country Club
The picture above
was shot from the 15th green at Carolina Pines Golf
Course and shows the mighty Neuse River in the
background. The river is some 3 miles wide at this
point and a few miles down stream it widens out to
become the widest river in the United States.
Carolina Pines is only about 2 miles from Havelock
and Cherry Point Marine air Station and about 12 miles from New Bern.
An added attraction for residents of Carolina Pines is
that it is only about 20 miles from Atlantic Beach.
Carolina Pines offers a wide selection of house
styles and Price ranges. Home Prices range from
$175,000-$650,000 so finding an affordable home
should not be an issue.

about 18 minutes from New Bern. This 3,000-acre
resort development features waterfront homes, golf course
homes, and interior lot homes.
Fairfield Harbour use to have 2 golf courses
however one closed in 2008. The remaining course is
challenging, winding around a series of man made
lakes and heavily wooded areas and places a premium
on hitting it
straight.
|
Fairfield Harbour living is a unique lifestyle
offering golf, tennis, walking, fishing,
jogging, and bicycling. There is a nice indoor pool and
workout facility available to those willing to pay a
small monthly fee.

the Harbour Pointe Marina.
Home prices in Fairfield range from
