Leopard’s Chase Golf Club #18 at Ocean Ridge Plantation

Duramed Future’s Tour player Lauren Hunt and “Endless Golf” host Bobby Vermillion play the stunning 18th hole at Leopard’s Chase Golf Club during the filming of an episode of Endless Golf for Comcast TV at Ocean Ridge. Watch this video to hear them review the course and play the 18th hole. Listen closely and you can hear the rushing of the 1300 gallons of water per minute that flow over the waterfall in front of the green.

Ocean Ridge Plantation is home of the award-winning Big Cats golf courses – Lion’s Paw, Panther’s Run, Tiger’s Eye and Leopard’s Chase. Since opening in 2006,  Leopard’s Chase has received stellar reviews and has set a new standard of excellence in the coastal Carolinas by being ranked #10 by Golf Digest as the “Best New Public Golf Course in America,” placing the course at #1 in the Carolinas for 2007. It has remained a perennial favorite and just a few months ago GOLF Magazine released their annual rankings of public courses with Leopard’s Chase (and Tiger’s Eye) finishing in the top ten for North Carolina.

Ocean Ridge Plantation Golf Course Ranked by Golf Week Magazine

Leopard’s Chase, which opened in 2007 as one of the premier golf courses at Ocean Ridge Plantation in Sunset Beach in the southern coastal tip of North Carolina, will be included in the top 100 rankings for public access golf courses in the nation in an upcoming issue of Golf Week magazine.

Leopard’s Chase was the only coastal course ranked for the state and, after two years of being ranked 4th, is still listed in the top five courses in North Carolina.  The 72-par modern course, with classic touches, is one of the award-winning four Big Cats courses open at Ocean Ridge.  It reflects the true craftsmanship of designer Tim Cates’ natural style, with one of its distinguishing features being the significant number of holes which require a short carry over water and tidal marshes.  Leopard’s Chase, bountiful with native grasses and plantings, provides a very visual experience for golfers, including hints at each tee box about what to expect next.

In conjunction with the other Big Cats courses, Lion’s Paw, Panther’s Run and Tiger’s Eye, Ocean Ridge offers a total of 72 holes for golfers.
