Hunt in the morning. Golf in the afternoon.
Why choose between a premier golf trip and an elite hunt when you can do both in a single day? We’ve structured our autumn crossover window so you can explore our private hunting grounds before lunch, step straight onto the fairways right after, and wrap up the day with a steak and bourbon at the lodge.

A course that never plays the same
Conditions play an active role at Dismal River, where wind and terrain influence each round throughout the day—shaping how bunkers play, how approaches are judged and how each club is selected, rewarding creativity, patience and thoughtful play.
Designed by Jack Nicklaus, the White Course is a traditional layout measuring 7,353 yards and playing to a Par 72 from the tips.
SCORECARDElevated tees, open sightlines and purposeful bunkering emphasize strategy and precision, rewarding players who think carefully about each shot.
Broad views across the Sandhills reinforce the scale of the landscape, while the routing challenges players to manage both distance and placement over the course of 18 distinct holes.

Best suited for: players who enjoy a classic test of deliberate shot-making.
SCORECARDDesigned by Tom Doak and Renaissance Golf Design, the Red Course is a minimalist layout spanning 6,994 yards and plays to a Par 71 from the back tees.
SCORECARDMinimalist by design, the course allows the Sandhills to dictate movement and flow.
Subtle elevation changes, natural contours and strategic options define the round, culminating in a dramatic 18th hole with panoramic views of the clubhouse, cabins and towering sand dunes rising above the river.
