Beau Rivage Golf & Resort sits on North Carolina's Cape Fear Coast, just five miles from historic downtown Wilmington and minutes from Carolina Beach and Wrightsville Beach. Its 18-hole championship course ranks among the finest on the Carolina coast, with elevation changes of up to 75 feet that recall the Pinehurst sandhills.

Groups from 20 to 250 guests can be accommodated for weddings, corporate meetings and retreats, banquets, and private celebrations. Outdoor ceremonies take place at settings such as the Live Oak Wedding Tree and Wind's Leap, a bridged spot overlooking water at the course's fourth hole.

A walking path circles the water, which is home to resident ducks and geese, giving the park a relaxed, natural setting for outdoor gatherings. The park's lakeside shelter is available for rental and comes with picnic tables, grills, and scenery overlooking the water, with restrooms and a paved parking lot close by. Three gazebos, a walking trail, and the Brandy Myers Memorial Playground round out the grounds, making the space well suited to family celebrations, reunions, and casual outdoor events. Beyond private rentals, Carolina Beach Lake Park serves as a gathering place for community events such as the annual Chowder Cookoff and the Light Up The Lake holiday celebration.
