“The Pogues” and “the Kooks” have been rivals for many years. “The Kooks” territory was where the entitled rich kids would stay, whereas in real life it is a luxurious golf resort. There are many moments in the series where “the kooks” would go on “the pogues” territory and initiate problems. Of course, when “the pogues” did it back on “the kooks” territory for revenge, it was far more entertaining to watch as “the kooks” cried over their ‘ever-so-precious’ territory. Although “the kooks” are the ‘bad guys,’ their side is a very lavish place to visit and who wouldn’t want to see the lifestyle on this real-life golf resort?
All of these locations classify the “Outer Banks” settings in different ways; they can be used for a romantic getaway, an epic lighthouse view, a waterfront with everything you need and a top-tier golf resort. Which location best suits you and what you like doing on vacation?
