A Golfer's Advantage: Life near Carolina Colours Golf Club
Imagine waking up, enjoying a quiet morning, and then heading just steps from your front door to a beautifully designed championship golf course. At Brice Pointe, that vision will become part of everyday life.
Located within the Carolina Colours community in New Bern, Brice Pointe will offer connection to one of the region’s most beloved amenities: Carolina Colours Golf Club, which will be accessible by a dedicated footbridge for residents.
A Championship Course Designed for Everyone
Carolina Colours Golf Club is an 18-hole championship course designed by renowned architect Bill Love. Set among towering pines and natural woodlands, the course blends land, water and sky into a landscape that feels both peaceful and inspiring.
What makes this course truly special is its accessibility. Multiple tee options — ranging from shorter to longer distances — ensure that golfers of all skill levels can enjoy the experience.
“The golf course was designed — and very well designed — for golfers of all age and ability,” said Ken Kirkman, developer and majority interest owner of the club. “We have six different teen grounds, so those of us who are getting old, we can play the course from a very short teen ground.”
That intentional design has made the course especially popular with active adults and retirees looking to stay engaged in the game while enjoying a comfortable, playable layout.
Golf, Your Way
Whether you’re an avid golfer or someone who enjoys an occasional round, Carolina Colours makes participation easy and flexible.
“The benefit is that the golf course is here and is available to any Brice Pointe resident to play,” Kirkman said.
There are membership options for those who want frequent access, along with the ability to simply book a tee time and play.
More Than a Round of Golf
The Carolina Colours Golf Club experience goes beyond the course itself. Residents and guests enjoy:
• A driving range, putting greens and practice facilities to sharpen their game
• A well-stocked pro shop with equipment and apparel
• Regular events, tournaments and social opportunities for members of the club
Even for those who don’t play regularly, the course itself is part of the lifestyle — offering scenic views, peaceful surroundings, and a beautifully maintained environment to enjoy. Kirkman said many people enjoy visiting the course just for the scenery, going for a drive in the golf cart to enjoy the beautiful vistas.
A Community Built Around Living Well
Brice Pointe is located within Carolina Colours, a master-planned community designed for an active, connected lifestyle and spanning a large, scenic footprint. The golf course is at the heart of that experience, integrated thoughtfully into the community without crowding the landscape, creating both beauty and privacy.
Kirkman, a developer of the community who calls it home, sees Brice Pointe as a natural continuation of that lifestyle. He’s already one of the priority depositors for Brice Pointe.
“I would like to stay in Carolina Colours and it looks like Brice Pointe will be a very high quality place to finish out my days,” he said.
His perspective reflects what many prospective residents are discovering — that Brice Pointe offers the opportunity to remain part of a vibrant, familiar community while enjoying a new level of comfort and convenience.
A Lifestyle Worth Investing In
For those considering a move, the combination of Brice Pointe and Carolina Colours Golf Club represents an opportunity to be part of a community where recreation, connection and natural beauty are part of everyday life.
It’s a particular draw for golfers, but even for those who simply appreciate scenic views, outdoor living and a welcoming environment, the presence of the course will enhance the overall experience at Brice Pointe.
“I believe truly that it’s the best golf course available — that is a nonprivate course — that’s available in the central coast area of North Carolina,” said Kirkman.
