Golf on the coast doesn't get any better than this in Hampstead, North Carolina. Olde Point Golf and Country Club presents a challenging layout framed by lush, native foliage, and laced with ponds and water hazards.

I played golf recently at the Olde Point Golf and Country Club and was very pleasantly surprised at the outstanding conditions of the course during a very hot and dry spell in the NC heat. Moreover the prices were extremely reasonable and the staff were very attentive. Can't wait to return.

I recently stopped at Noni Bacca Winery for the first time while running between errands this past week. While I have passed it many times I never thought to stop and check it out.
I walked in and met Tony the owner and Nancy and introduced myself. He was in the process of bringing in the barrels of grape must for wine making. We spoke for awhile as he worked and answered all of my questions regarding the types of wines they produce and how long they have been in the wine making business.
I was very impressed with the wall of wine bottles featuring all of the awards that Noni Bacca has accumulated over the years at wine competitions. I had a chance to speak with the "wine maker" and that is always fun. We have visited various vineyards while on vacations over the years and always took the time to speak with those who are making the wines....
I am sure that my wife and I will be visiting Noni Bacca soon for a wine tasting and to bring home a bottle or two for upcoming dinners. You should definitely make Noni Bacca Winery a must visit while in Wilmington if you are a wine enthusiast. You will be impressed.

We enjoy the beach and this is a beach area that we visited this past summer for the first time. Nice beach. not too crowded when we were there. It is now one of our favorite beach areas and we can't wait to visit the area again some day. Lots of fun.

Course is open but challenging. A little behind on mowing the rough (they were catching up as we played) but the course was in excellent shape. I would definitely recommend this course and play again. Good price and friendly staff

This studio opened a couple of years ago and has already moved to larger quarters. I learned about this place from my grand daughters. The studio is full of bisque which can be purchased and painted with glazes that are available. The price of the item includes the glazing and firing. I took my grand daughters, they each painted a couple of pieces, we had a couple of hours of fun and it cost about $20. Come back in a couple of days and pickup your finished product. They are expanding and also have classes.

I've never really been a fan of painted furniture but after seeing this place I am. They call the furniture "coastal classic" and it looks more weathered than distressed or just painted. I could see someone decorating their beach cottage with the items here. They also had some beautiful artisan jewelry and art made from barn wood. You really should take the time to check it out.
9. New Hanover County Arboretum

Reviewed By Claudia D - Raleigh, North Carolina, United States
We visited it on a Sunday afternoon. On Sunday the grounds are open but the gift shop and greenhouses are closed. We enjoyed the scenery particularly the Japanese garden section and the pond that is central to the park. There are lots of signs telling you what each plant is and mailboxes with information you Can take to learn more about the theme of that section of the park. It's obvious that it is intended for educational purposes but there are sections that one could enjoy for peaceful contemplation, like the small labyrinth area. They've really crammed a lot into a relatively small park. Like a group picnic area, an area on vegetables gardens, and comparisons if different kinds of
grasses.
There were some unsightly areas too. For example they had dug up a large area in the
far side of the pond and also the rearmost part of the park looked pretty plain and
barren.
Best thing about it is it's free. It's also conveniently located.
PS I disagree that this is called an arboretum. It doesn't feature trees but rather mostly small bushes and plants
