Raleigh Golf Association

Not a regular golfer and my first time at the course but was made to feel right at home by friendly and courteous staff. Pace of play was great for the majority of the round. Straightforward course but very enjoyable and challenging.

Course was in good shape, greens a little slow but played round in 3 hours.

Always a pleasure to play here but the pace of play is generally slow, especially yesterday.

Had a great time. Golfed alone and they allowed me to use the private stockholders course. Incredibly well groomed and great views! Go here!

Course is in good shape and the greens were rolling well.

Open course... so most bad hits are still playable. Also, very short...you play this course without using your driver.

Definitely a good course to bring beginner golfers to.

RGA is historic being around since 1929, the course is improving over the past few years. The greens were bumpy due to lingering affects of being punched two weeks ago so putting was tough. The greens are growing in but still sparse and low. We played from the tips and this resulted in a challenge considering the tighter fairways on a number of holes. Overall, a good value for the cost!

A buddy of mine talked about this track and that it's an easy walk during the summer. It was only $2 more to ride on Saturday, so I wanted to give it a shot. Facilities are adequate and food/bev prices are reasonable. There is no driving range, but there is a small wedge range that's about 80-100 yards. It is alongside the road, so you need to be careful about hooking or skulling a ball that direction. The course itself has a decent layout and is really short. From the tips, ~6100 yards for a par 72 can lead to some low scores if you're a longer hitter. Right now, the fairways were fairly hard and I routinely cleared 330. Not a lot of grass at the moment, but it is March. The backside is much more narrow than the front, although the front is wide open, so that's not saying much. I was thoroughly disappointed in the greens. At this point during the year, most courses can afford to cut greens short since they don't have to worry about baking them. These were long and grainy. Most other tracks have greens running 9-11; not fast, but quick. These are lucky to get to 8, which makes course management much less fun (think Tiger's 05 Masters chip or Jordan Spieth's chip shot from the WBC on March 3), i.e. you can't play a slope because the ball wouldn't 't take it if it wasn't severe enough. Not sure about the rest of you all, but I hate going to a course and having to smash every putt. Overall, it's not a bad course but slightly overpriced for the current quality. I'm sure I'll give it another shot in April/May and can give a more accurate review. If you want a short, relatively easy course and can get a good price to ride (x<$25), give it a go.

The Staff is really great and helpful!!!

Coarse is excellent with the exception of the rough is too high, and hard to find the golf ball.

The course is open and not terribly long which makes it very friendly to the average golfer. The back nine is slightly more challenging than the front, and gradually they are making overall improvements to the traps and greens (although the hot summer is especially tough on the greens).

Great shape and friendly staff

Very enjoyable round of golf! Overall course conditions pretty good for time of year. Wish the golfers would repair their golf marks on the greens and demonstrate better golf etiquette when hitting into your fairways.
