Welcome to Lockwood Folly
Hey, if you're scouting out a spot in Brunswick County that's got that laid-back coastal feel with solid golf and easy beach access, Lockwood Folly is worth a look. Tucked in Supply, just a quick drive from Holden Beach, it's a gated community built around a Willard Byrd-designed 18-hole golf course that winds along the Lockwood Folly River and Intracoastal Waterway. Folks who settle here often talk about the balance of nature and convenience — it's mainland but feels like you're on the water, with the surf sounds drifting in on breezy days. A local realtor like Suzanne Polino, who's been helping people find their way around these parts for years, often points out how Lockwood Folly draws retirees who want that Southern charm without the crowds of bigger spots.
The community has been around since the 1980s, starting as a golf club and growing into a neighborhood with about 500 homesites. It's not as flashy as some of the newer developments, but that's part of its appeal — it's established, stable, and has that classic Carolina vibe. With HOA fees on the lower side for what you get, it's a practical choice for folks transitioning to retirement or looking for a second home. Suzanne Polino mentions how the riverfront setting and golf views make it a quiet favorite for those who want to fish, boat, or just relax without the hustle.
Lockwood Folly Golf Course
The golf course at Lockwood Folly is the real star here — an 18-hole par-72 layout by Willard Byrd that plays 6,836 yards from the back tees, with a rating of 73.9 and slope of 140. It hugs the Lockwood Folly River and Intracoastal Waterway, so you get those stunning marsh and water views on almost every hole. The front nine is more open with fairways lined by pines, while the back nine gets trickier with doglegs and water carries. It's semi-private, so members get priority, but public tee times are available, and green fees are reasonable (around $50–$80 depending on season). The course is known for its bent-grass greens that roll true and fairways that are forgiving but strategic. Suzanne Polino says it's a course that grows on you — not too punishing for casual play, but challenging enough for low-handicappers who want to improve their game.

Amenities at Lockwood Folly
Lockwood Folly keeps things simple but solid with amenities that fit the coastal golf lifestyle. The clubhouse overlooks the river and serves up casual dining at the grill — think burgers, sandwiches, and post-round beers with water views. There's a pool for cooling off in the summer, tennis courts (including pickleball lines), and a fitness room for staying active. The community also has a boat ramp right on the Intracoastal Waterway for easy river access, which is a big draw for boaters and fishermen. Walking trails along the river offer scenic strolls, and there's a social calendar with golf outings, holiday events, and club activities. It's not overloaded with extras, but what they have is well-maintained and geared toward an active, outdoorsy crowd. Suzanne Polino notes that the amenities here encourage that relaxed Southern living, where you can golf in the morning, fish in the afternoon, and unwind with neighbors in the evening.
Views in Lockwood Folly
The views at Lockwood Folly are one of its biggest selling points — many homes and lots back right up to the golf course, river, or marsh, giving you that serene, natural backdrop. Golf course views are popular for the open feel and watching players from your porch, while riverfront lots offer Intracoastal Waterway vistas with boats passing by and sunset colors over the water. Some spots have marsh views, which are peaceful with birdwatching and that salty breeze. Even the wooded lots have a cozy, private vibe with pines and oaks. Suzanne Polino often tells folks that the views here make everyday life feel like a vacation, especially with Holden Beach just 4 miles away for ocean sunrises.

Home Styles in Lockwood Folly Calabash NC
Home styles in Lockwood Folly run the gamut from cozy condos and villas to spacious single-family homes and custom builds on larger lots. Condos are great for low-maintenance retirees, starting in the $200s with 2–3 bedrooms and community views. Villas and townhomes go up from there, often with open floor plans and attached garages in the $300s–$400s. Single-family homes are the main draw, with ranch-style or two-story designs ranging from 1,500–3,500 sq ft in the $400K–$900K+ range, many with porches, sunrooms, and golf/river views. Land lots let you build custom, with architectural guidelines to keep the neighborhood cohesive. The overall style is Southern coastal — brick exteriors, screened porches, and light colors to beat the heat. Suzanne Polino says the variety makes it easy to find a home that fits your stage of life, whether you're downsizing or wanting room for grandkids.

Lifestyle at Lockwood Folly Calabash NC
The lifestyle at Lockwood Folly is all about that easygoing coastal rhythm — golf in the morning, a boat ride or beach day in the afternoon, and relaxing with neighbors in the evening. Retirees love the active social scene with golf leagues, card games, and community events, but it's not over-scheduled if you prefer quiet time. The riverfront setting means plenty of fishing, crabbing, or kayaking, and the nearby Holden Beach is uncrowded and family-friendly. Summers are warm but breezy, winters mild enough for year-round golf (average high 60°F). It's a place where you can unwind, stay fit, and enjoy the simple things without the traffic of bigger resort areas. Suzanne Polino has seen many folks fall in love with the lifestyle here, saying it's like having your own private retreat with the ocean just down the road.
