Ocean Ridge – Ocean Isle Beach NC Exclusive Gated Golf Community

Ocean Ridge Plantation is one of Coastal North Carolina’s most distinguished gated golf communities — a sprawling, master-planned enclave where refined living meets the natural beauty of the Brunswick Islands. Nestled in Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, Ocean Ridge offers an exceptional lifestyle of privacy, championship golf, and waterfront serenity. This prestigious community features multiple courses, resort-style amenities, and a limited inventory of single-family homes and custom homesites that reflect timeless coastal elegance. Suzanne Polino, a trusted advisor to many of the area’s most discerning buyers, describes Ocean Ridge as a rare destination — a place where exclusivity, natural surroundings, and proximity to pristine beaches create an unparalleled coastal retreat.
Multiple Championship Golf Courses
Ocean Ridge is renowned for its golf — up to 72 holes across several signature courses designed by renowned architects, offering a variety of layouts, challenges, and scenic beauty. From dramatic pond views to marsh-lined fairways and pine-shaded greens, the courses are meticulously maintained and reserved primarily for members and their guests. The golf experience is elevated by practice facilities, private lessons, and a calendar of prestigious events. Beyond the fairways, the community’s natural setting and conservation areas provide serene walking trails and wildlife observation. Suzanne Polino often hears from clients how the golf and natural beauty make Ocean Ridge one of the most desirable addresses for active, refined retirement.
Resort-Style Amenities & Waterfront Appeal
Life at Ocean Ridge is defined by understated luxury and thoughtful amenities designed for an active yet gracious lifestyle. The community features outdoor pools, a fitness center, tennis courts, walking trails, clubhouses, and social events. Many residences enjoy golf course or marsh views from their custom Ocean Ridge Homes. The Ocean Ridge lifestyle is sophisticated and effortless — mornings on the course, afternoons by the pool or on the water, evenings with fresh local seafood. Suzanne Polino notes that the amenities and waterfront setting foster lasting friendships while preserving the privacy residents seek.
