Enjoy Year
Round Golfing! |
 |
The New Bern
area, sometimes referred to as the Crystal Coast
is becoming a favorite spot for golfers of all levels!
Our courses are not as crowded as those of our southern
Carolinian neighbor, and our mild year-round climate is
appreciated by northerners and southerners alike!
Some
of the excellent quality and designed courses have hosted
a number of large golf tournaments, including the Curtis
Strange Shriner Classic, usually held the last
week in September at The Emerald golf club in Greenbrier.
There are several inter-club organizations for residents
players (both men and women of all handicaps) who enjoy
monthly tournaments, lunches and gatherings at different
clubs.
(NOTE: Tiger Woods and
Justin Leonard played in the annual classic held
on September 11, 2000 at the Emerald Golf Club.)
Weyerhaeuser
has been instrumental in developing three of the finest
courses in the area. Starting in 1988 with The Emerald,
the well-known national developer then opened Cypress
Landing Golf Club in Chocowinity in 1995.
More recently in early 1998, they were proud to open their
first private golf and country club in New Bern, called
Taberna (pronounced Tá bern
á). Literally translated, the word Taberna means "place
of hospitality" in Swiss.
The 18-hole championship
golf course was designed to blend in with Taberna’s environmental
features of rolling hills, dense foliage, lakes, streams
and wetlands, surrounded by a lovely community of residential
homes. (As of August 1999, there are over 300 homesites
sold and approximately 140 families in residence. Taberna
lot sales are nearly two years ahead of schedule, toward
a completion of approximately 700-800 upscale homes).
There are two lakes on the Taberna course, and several
natural "environmentally protected" areas which
are challenging water hazards for golfers of all handicaps.
But, the biggest challenge of all are the numbers of fairway
and greenside sand bunkers! Contact me to register for
a "Taberna Tour" and a free round
of golf.
The New Bern Golf and Country Club is the only other private golf club in New Bern, and was established nearly 80 years ago. With their lovely clubhouse located on the Trent River, the views are just magnificent!
