Is Brierwood Estates a homeowners association? No. It is described as a non-HOA community, with no association dues. The rules that apply to lots come from the covenants recorded in 1969. The Brierwood Association, a voluntary group formed in September 2017, disbanded in 2024 and never had that role.

How many homes are there? The community's records count more than 370 homes, including those under construction, with about 50 unimproved lots.

Is the golf course open? No. It closed on June 1, 2017. On March 4, 2025 the Town of Shallotte approved a special use permit to reopen nine holes, holes 1 through 9, the clubhouse and a restaurant, with no reopening date given. That permit has since expired, the plans have been put aside for the time being, and attention has turned to a community “farm” concept (see the update at the top of the permit articles). The owner is Blum Investment Group Golf, LLC, which bought the course on July 17, 2014.

Where do the building and upkeep rules come from? From the Declaration of Restrictions signed January 26, 1969 and recorded February 12, 1969 in Book 205, Page 222 at the Brunswick County Register of Deeds. The 2019 waiver removed the developer's right of first purchase but left the other rules in place.

Who handles zoning? The Town of Shallotte. The land covered by the 2025 permit is in the Town's extraterritorial jurisdiction, zoned Residential RA-15. A map recorded in 1989, titled “Annexed areas for Town of Shallotte,” shows a few individual Brierwood Estates lots annexed in 1987 and 1988, so the rules for a particular lot depend on where it lies. The clubhouse parcel at 27 Brierwood Road was annexed into the Town on September 2, 2025.
