Experience Ocean Ridge Plantation – The Premier Coastal Golf Community

Nestled along the scenic Brunswick County coastline, Ocean Ridge Plantation stands as one of North Carolina’s most prestigious coastal communities. For over 25 years, it has embodied the essence of refined coastal living—combining world-class golf, resort-style amenities, and elegant custom-built homes within a setting of natural beauty and tranquility. Whether you’re searching for homes for sale in Ocean Ridge Plantation or simply exploring what makes this community so special, our experienced agents are here to help you every step of the way.

A Prime Coastal Location

Ocean Ridge Plantation offers the perfect blend of serenity and convenience. Tucked between Wilmington, NC, and Myrtle Beach, SC, residents enjoy quick access to the best of both worlds—vibrant city life and peaceful coastal charm—without the crowds, high-rises, or heavy traffic. The pristine sands of Sunset Beach are just a short 7–10 minute drive away, while Myrtle Beach’s entertainment and Wilmington’s historic riverfront are only a short trip from home.

Championship Golf at Its Finest

For golf enthusiasts, Ocean Ridge Plantation is nothing short of paradise. The community is home to four award-winning 18-hole golf courses, each offering a unique and memorable playing experience among the best in the Carolinas. Optional golf memberships provide exclusive access for devoted players, while casual golfers can enjoy discounted rates. With active men’s and women’s leagues, a professional Golf Academy, practice greens, and driving ranges, residents can enjoy the game at any level and pace.

The Essence of Coastal Living

Ocean Ridge Plantation offers far more than a golf community—it’s a lifestyle destination. Set across 900 acres of lush green space, tree-lined boulevards, and beautifully maintained landscapes, the neighborhood exudes a peaceful, park-like atmosphere. Its close proximity to marinas, fishing piers, and kayaking channels makes it an ideal retreat for those who love the water. Whether you’re casting a line, exploring the Intracoastal Waterway, or simply soaking in a Carolina sunset, life here flows naturally with the rhythm of the coast.

A Connected and Active Community

With over 100 clubs and organizations, Ocean Ridge Plantation fosters a vibrant social scene that brings neighbors together. From gardening and fitness to arts, travel, and volunteer opportunities, residents find endless ways to connect, engage, and make lifelong friendships.
