Play RGA!

Nice little course for the $$. Super friendly staff with great amenities. The extra 9 holes keeps the pace of play reasonable even during peak hours. Would recommend.

Better Than Expectd

Went here on a whim since they had an available morning tee time...Never heard of the course before so didnt have high expectations.

Overall I liked it alot...Carts had GPS, fairways were pretty wide. Some areas of the fairways could use some help as spots were hard and dry, the greens were in great shape and the pace of play was decent for a weekend. I'd return to play again.

Need for rangers

They need Rangers on the course to speed up play. There are groups hitting 3+ mulligans or not picking up after 8.

Attitude should be checked at the door

Maybe because it was a Monday morning, but in addition that there were no breakfast sandwiches available, the person behind kitchen counter was not a pleasant person. Turning the corner after 9 holes, lunch selections and the personality were no better.

New Carts

Overall always a great experience. Was surprised of the new carts, they are keeping up with new technology. The new carts have built in escore cards and gps to let you know the distance to the center of the green.

Average course in Raleigh

Played here this past weekend and it was your average typical course. Very short on most holes and the greens were very slow. The grass on fairways is more like weeds, so not much an advantage hitting off it. Updated carts had GPS but would lock randomly even driving on cart paths. Paying $45 for a round of 18 is definitely not worth it. Pace of play wasn't terrible but there were some times where you were waiting 5 mins or so on the tees. Not a bad course if you're just wanting to get out with friends

Great for the Price

Overall, this course is average at best. Greens were a bit bumpy. Not really any rough and not many sand traps which I guess for a hacker like me is pretty good. You can’t beat it for the price, but I will try other places before I come back here.
