If you’re exploring the coastal retirement communities in the Carolinas, take a look at the award-winning Brunswick Plantation & Golf Resort. Brunswick Plantation was voted one of the top 50 golf communities in the US with its impressive active retirement options and first-class amenities. Conveniently located in Calabash NC near Myrtle Beach, the gated golf community is only minutes away from the entertainment, healthcare and shopping options. Downtown Wilmington NC is just over 30 minutes to the north. 

The creators of Brunswick Plantation & Golf Resort were all born and raised in Brunswick County, NC. Their intention was to develop a new gated community reminiscent of their own happy childhood days here. They have succeeded in producing a place that celebrates the very best in coastal Carolina living, from the beauty of coastal nature blended with gorgeous southern architecture and landscaping, to the wonderful genteel friendliness of southern hospitality. Starting out with 650 acres, Brunswick Plantation has now expanded to fill over 1,750 acres. The original 18-hole golf course is now an impressive 27-hole course, in three 9-hole sections: Azalea, Dogwood, and Magnolia. Over 1,800 happy property owners now fill over 1,200 custom single-family homes, two- & three-bedroom condo units, and luxury townhomes.

Not that we think you’ll get bored with Brunswick Plantation’s fantastic golf course, but there are also hundreds of other golf courses nearby. Take a bike ride here or at one of several area parks, go for an invigorating morning jog or swim in one of Brunswick Plantation’s seven pools or at one of the nearby Atlantic beaches. At the beach or on one of the local waterways you can go fishing and boating including kayaking, sailing, and water skiing, too. Brunswick Plantation makes going home feel like going on vacation, and with the attractions of North Carolina’s Grand Strand only a short distance away. Folks could easily argue that this is one of the best places in North Carolina to retire.

"It's not..... POA Board President bullies homeowners during POA meetings. Common areas are not maintained. Retention ponds are not maintained. Storm drains are collapsing. Community Center in Hamptons never built. Security gates continually broken. Not well maintained."
