RGA Review 7-31-16
Course was in very good condition. There was not a lot of people playing so the course playtime was comfortable. Course was challenging yet fun to play.
RGA
Greens very patchy and it seemed like several people weren't replacing their divots. Other than that, the fairways were in great shape. The rough on some holes were very overgrown which called for buried lines and some challenge.
Hi "Ty1074945" Thank you for the 5 star review, we appreciate your feedback and will discuss some of these issues with our management team. Thanks and see you again!
On the rise
I have been playing this course for over 8 years. It is not difficult, it isn't the best or prettiest - but it's a great course for weekend hackers like myself. Management has been taken over by McConnell Golf and the course looks the best it has since I started playing there.
Hi "jfgamble" Thank you so much for the great feedback! We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. See you back out on the course in the near future.
What a Difference
Since the course management changeover, this course is 100% improved. The greens are in tip top shape, the fairways are improved, the rough is better managed, and you get the first impression that you are arriving at a golf club, not some run down muni. If you haven't teed off here in a while, you'll be surprised. Now just expand the food service, put in some on course bathroom facilities, and give me a draft craft after my round, and you'll get my membership.
When you say the greens and fairways have drastically improved what other courses is that in relation to? I want to like this course, its just always rough when I get out there. I haven't played there in a few months though.

Nice course
I would definitely recommend checking this one out. Ultra short on the front nine, but some great holes on the back. I think I will play better just knowing where the holes go next time.
Fairways lush and greens in good shape for bent in the summer. Pretty slow greens when we played on Sunday. Very enjoyable.

Great, fun layout, excellent shape, good pace of play
While RGA is not the longest or most challenging tract in the Raleigh area, it is a fun layout and was in superb shape - greens, fairways and tees all excellent. Walked and played 18 in 3 and a half hours. Course had many groups that were keeping up the pace of play. Good green complexes. Course is totally in front of you - no quirky holes. Great for working on your game and fair for beginners too. Should get even better with McConnell Golf running the course for foreseeable future.

Beautiful Day
Had a nice time yesterday. Weather was great course was in great shape. Greens and fairways were very good. The ruff out of control thick. Play was really slow! Had a 5 some in front of us on the back 9 that would not let us through. Put the course is definitely worth the money Just bring your paitence.
Thanks for the review! We're sorry for the slow pace of play and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. We hope you decide to join us again for another round in the future!

Too slow
Raleigh country club members are playing this course as there private club is getting the greens redone. This made for an agonizing round crawling around the course, watching older guys every hole...
Either too many groups playing too slow or the starter not putting groups out together, not sure but won't be going back for while. Sad because I do like this course, used to be great...
u000006503745,
We truly apologize for the slow pace of play. Our goal is to give our golfers the best experience possible and we are so sorry that we were unable to during your round. Thank you for your feedback.

This course is a good value.
I had a fantastic time. Met up with two other seniors and we had fun. Oh, by the way I scored a hole-in-one on the The Stockholders #5. That always makes it fun!
The cost for this course makes it affordable for everyone. A good deal for the mone;y.
Hi nicknort,
We are so glad to hear that your round was fantastic! Congratulations on your hole-in-one, that's incredible! We hope to see you on the course again soon.

Had a good time playing this course, and the price was great.
Hi "lavearn" Thank you for the great review, we are so pleased to hear that your enjoyed our price friendly course today. See you again in the near future.
Confidence Boost!
This course is a Raleigh classic. Very forgiving and straightforward. I'm a 15 handicap and have broken 80 a few times. Fun to play and a great place to go if your game needs a little confidence boost!
Hi csoneal919" Thank you so much for the great review! We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you back out on the course in the near future.
Needs some grass seed
The course had a LOT of bald spots. You had to cross a fairly busy street twice, so there is THAT challenge. People were friendly, pace was good
Thank you for coming out to play and providing your feedback. We are constantly working on improving our greens and hope to see you back soon to enjoy our normal excellent conditions!
Fairways
Bermuda fairways need to grow yet. Still a little early in the season.
We hope you will return soon to see our normal excellent conditions! Thank you for coming out to play.
Good Shape and Good Value
This wasn't my first time at RGA and won't be my last. RGA is a fairly easy course, the front 9 is very open and the back is a little more tricky with more woods so it's easier to OB. The course was in good shape for the early season (first day of spring). This isn't an amazing course but when you're paying $30 or less, it's definitely good for what you pay. Staff is friendly, pace of play is usually normal.
Thank you so much for coming out to play and providing your feedback! We are so glad to hear you will be back!
Good for casual round w/ friends
RGA is a good test of golf for the casual player
We are so glad to hear you and your friends had a fun round! We look forward to seeing you back again soon.
Cheap course, but needs work
I went to this course as a recommendation for beginners due to the large fairways and not too difficult greens. The fairways were all pretty much dead, nothing but the greens were actually green. The staff was great though, and very nice to deal with. If you're looking for an easy course that's cheap, its good. Outside of that, it's very average at best.
Thank you for coming out to play and providing your feedback! We hope to see you back again soon to enjoy better conditions!
Hi "u000007427990" Thank you for the excellent review! We are so glad the course was challenging but also fun. Don't forget to book your upcoming weekend tee time with us.
