Golf
People from all over the region and beyond
are lured to the award-winning lush fairways,
water views, reasonable rates and uncrowded
conditions of Currituck County’s golf courses.
Two of Currituck’s golf courses were named
by Golf Week as the “Best Courses That You
Can Play.” One of the mainland courses has
twice hosted the North Carolina Open and
another has been rated by the USGA as
having some of the finest putting surfaces
in the Eastern U.S. For a list of member golf
courses, visit currituckchamber.org.
Grave Digger
Fans of all ages will get excited about seeing
the world-famous monster truck, Grave
Digger; and the four time champion driver,
Dennis Anderson. The Digger’s Dungeon is
a pit stop for thousands of visitors headed
toward the Outer Banks. Located on the
mainland, the Dungeon offers a wide variety
of souvenirs, T-shirts and collectible items.
The huge trucks, many with tires taller
than 5 feet high, make for a great photo
opportunity. Dennis Anderson is available for
autographs and photos on selected dates.
Races and other special events are held on
site at Muddy Motor Sports Park just a few
miles north of the Dungeon. While you’re
there, grab a bite to eat at Digger’s Diner.
