Guy's Getaway

Sometimes, you just need a weekend to unplug, relax, and enjoy the simple pleasures — golf, fishing, and a cold drink with good company. You can find just that in Perquimans County, North Carolina. Tucked away in the northeastern part of the state, this gem of a place offers laid-back vibes, natural beauty, and just enough adventure to keep things interesting.


Saturday Morning: Tee Time at Albemarle Plantation

Kick the weekend off with a round of golf at Albemarle Plantation, one of the most scenic and underrated courses you've probably played. The course sits right along the Albemarle Sound, with wide fairways, perfectly manicured greens, and views that could easily distract you from your swing (in the best way). It’s challenging enough to keep you focused, but forgiving enough to keep the mood light if your game’s a little rusty.

After 18 holes and a few friendly wagers, grab a bite at the clubhouse and soak in the view from the deck.


Saturday Afternoon: Fishing the Perquimans River with Captain Jeff Ownley

Post-golf, meet up with Captain Jeff Ownley, he knows the waters of the Perquimans River like the back of his hand. It's a slow, winding body of water bordered by cypress trees and Spanish moss that feels like stepping into another world.

Whether you're an experienced angler or just looking to try something new, a day on the water with Captain Jeff is an experience you won’t forget.


Saturday Evening: Brews at Hertford Bay Tap House

After a long day on the links and the river, clean up and head to Hertford Bay Tap House to wrap up the day. This place is the definition of small-town charm with big fun. It’s got a cozy, inviting vibe, and a beer list that punches way above its weight.

Live music is often on tap for the weekends, and the whole evening will turn into one of those perfect moments you wish you could bottle up.

Locals and visitors mix, the staff is friendly, and the whole place has that “you’re welcome here” energy. It’s the kind of spot you end up staying longer at than you planned.


The Wrap-Up

Perquimans County might not be on every guy’s weekend radar — and honestly, that’s part of the magic. No crowds, no stress, just good golf, great fishing, and a solid place to kick back with a cold beer and swap stories from the day.

If you're looking for a laid-back escape where the pace is slower but the experiences are rich, put Perquimans County on your list.
