A Forest of Impactful Flavor
Being a part of greater Wilmington, Brunswick Forest is no stranger to the local attraction of fine eateries. When it comes to finding something good to eat, our residents don’t have to travel very far. The Forest Restaurant, located right on the Cape Fear National golf course, is the perfect place to have a meal this summer.
Headed by Chef Scott Euvrard, The Forest Restaurant is known within and outside of our community for some of the best food around. It’s located right inside the 7,000 square-foot Cape Fear National Clubhouse and provides dining patrons with an incredible view of the course. For anyone looking to play nine or 18 holes and end the day with a delicious meal, this is the place to be.
While it’s a hotspot for local golfers, you don’t have to be into the game to enjoy a great meal. The Forest Restaurant is open to all residents and guests in Brunswick Forest. When the weather’s nice, you can enjoy your meal outside on the patio while overlooking Cape Fear National’s signature ninth hole. The inside of the restaurant includes a full-service bar and dining room area, set inside a luxurious setting that evokes the ambiance of a private facility.
