Currently ranked No. 5 in North Carolina on GolfWeek’s Best Courses You Can Play, this is the newest Tom Cate addition to Ocean Ridge Plantation’s “Big Cat” collection of four golf courses (Lion’s Paw, Panther’s Run and Tiger’s Eye). This track covers 220 acres, and has been promoted as being more difficult than Tiger’s Eye, which originally meant that it was more over-priced. Once the reality set in that Leopard’s Chase is definitely not in the same league with Tiger’s Eye their prices became more reasonable. Each hole features four tee boxes, and some tees are elevated. Marsh views, ample vegetation, waste bunkers, slight elevation changes, Bermuda fairways, Bent grass greens and an elaborate tiered waterfall complex on No. 18 are some of this track’s more interesting features. There is an ongoing rumor that Ocean Ridge has been having financial issues, which probably accounts for the all too frequent surly attitudes of some staffers there.
