We were super excited when the opportunity to purchase Turf's Up OBX was presented to us. The stars aligned and we took ownership November 1, 2024. We hit the ground running and we plan to be present and active owners that support other local businesses in the OBX area and in the golf industry as well as other local sports.

Sandy is originally from Baltimore, MD but relocated to the Outer Banks in 2003. She has been employed with the Town of Duck since then and still is. She became an avid golfer in 2018 after meeting Tim. She is a Baltimore Ravens fan but is also a Celtic and Eagles fan since falling in love with Tim. Go Birds! If you don't see her at Turf's Up , she is likely golfing at Seascape or working in Duck. She runs the "back" of the house so don't be surprised if she is trying to get you to follow and like the facebook and instagram pages.

Tim is originally from Virginia Beach and found his way to the Outer Banks through a circuitous route by way of Haiti, Boston and Chicago. He wasn't in the Outer Banks long before he met Sandy in 2018.  while Tim plays golf, he also enjoys playing Disc Golf, listening to live music and doing anything in or around water.  Tim manages the front of the house, and has improved the beer and wine selection immensely since taking ownership. He is working on making Turf's Up a comfy cozy place where you want to hang out.

You can find Tim at Turf's most days and Sandy after work from her other job usually for league and special events. Stop in and see them.

Perfect break from the heat for our group of teen boys! They totally loved the games and we loved the customer service!

Perfect break!

We LOVED Turf’s Up OBX!!! With the weather not being the greatest during our stay, we were looking for some fun indoor things to do. We booked a bay for 2 hours which was perfect for our small family. My 7 year old said that has been his favorite part of OBX so far this trip and asked if we can go back each time we visit!

We LOVED Turf's up!

Tim was extremely helpful

We stopped in while on vacation for an indoor activity on a cold day, and Turf’s Up OBX did not disappoint! Tim was extremely helpful and took his time explaining everything to us. Our family (including three kids) had a great time playing the different simulation games. The facilities were clean and well kept. Highly recommend!

-Becky Chappell

We had so much fun at Turf’s Up! This was our second time here and it was just as good as the first! Karen was working and she was fantastic! She was so sweet and accommodating. Her interaction with all the guests was superb! If you are looking for something fun to do with the family, especially on a rainy day, this is the place to go!

-Bianca Martinez


This is the place to go!
