Kilmarlic's renovated golf-themed cottages sleep six and ran about $375 a night, roughly $90 per golfer in a foursome.

1. The Golf Podcast Presented by Golficity covers an October trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, which the hosts call a "hidden gem" golf destination. 2. Hosts Mike and Frank, who have also covered Sand Valley, Cabot and Cabot Citrus Farms, were joined by local friend Robbie and videographer Tom. 3. The central claim is that the trip combines varied golf, water views, off-course activities and food at a price far below resorts with waitlists. 4. They flew to Norfolk, Virginia (about 50 minutes from New Jersey, then a 90-minute drive), played the Carolina Club at sunset, and ate shrimp and grits and beignets at NC Coast and Grill. 5. They stayed in Kilmarlic Golf Club cottages that sleep six, cost about $375 a night, and surround a putting green that is lit at night. 6. Day two paired Kilmarlic, which has tree-lined shot-making holes, with The Point across the street, a wide-open course run by a family that previously operated a sod farm. 7. Dinner at JK's steakhouse featured wood-fired steaks cooked in view of diners, about 1,000 pounds of meat per week, and a bill of about $300 for five. 8. The hosts call the Nags Head links course their favorite, saying it felt like "Scotland dropped on the coast of North Carolina," and they note its short opening par four that is drivable. 9. A Humvee tour in Corolla let them see wild horses that have lived on the beaches for about 500 years and cannot be approached within 50 feet, and they also tried Cheerwine and Duck Donuts. 10. Golfers planning a budget group trip on the East Coast will get the most from it.
