Lockwood Folly

Nestled where the marshes of southeastern Brunswick County meet coastal waterways, Lockwood Folly is a gated residential community that exudes a blend of natural beauty, leisure lifestyle, and coastal accessibility. Located just minutes from the shores of Holden Beach and set between the meeting of the Lockwood Folly River and the Intracoastal Waterway, this community offers a unique mix of water views, golf-course ambiance and quiet residential character.

Within Lockwood Folly you’ll find an 18‐hole championship golf course designed by Willard Byrd, celebrated for its tree-lined fairways, marsh and estuary vistas, and a layout that invites both casual and serious golfers alike. The homes and lots here range widely—some set along the fairways of the golf course, others overlooking tidal creeks or waterfront on the river and ICW. Many of the residential sites capitalize on the area’s live oaks, pines and water-loving landscape to create a tranquil “coastal hideaway” feel.

For amenities and lifestyle, Lockwood Folly brings more than just scenic landscapes. Residents enjoy a clubhouse with dining, a waterfront pool complex overlooking the broad waterway, tennis and pickleball courts, a boat ramp with private access to the ICW/river system, walking trails, and storage areas for boats/RVs. Perhaps what stands out most is how the community balances being near the beach—only a few minutes’ drive from Holden Beach—with feeling distinctly removed and peaceful. Everyday traffic and beach-crowd noise fade into the background once inside the gates.

The appeal of Lockwood Folly spans several types of buyers. It’s ideal for those who want a coastal‐oriented residence without being right on the sand, for active lifestyle lovers (golfers, boaters, walkers), and for those who appreciate a mature, established community with full amenities rather than raw land. That said, because the community is well developed and amenitized, it tends to carry a premium feel relative to basic coastal subdivisions.
