Great from the Gold Tee
Course had been punched on greens and holes were ragged in cut but overall good condition. Will play again. Rangers can help slow play as new players don't know or don't care about holding up play or let you play thru. Three carts and 4 players holding up three players. All about me these days.
nice course slow greens
Played RGA for the first time. Very scenic tract, in nice shape (tees and fairways are Bermuda; terrain is rolling, not flat), greens are bent grass) but greens are very slow. I think the course must have to keep the greens long in this very hot, humid weather (97 yesterday with heat advisory). First 13 holes are fun. Last 5 are the most demanding and over undulating, hilly terrain. Nice staff. Recommend playing.
Nice course for the money
One of the nicer public courses in the Raleigh area. Affordable and in good shape. It was a fun round.
Easy course fun to play.
The course is short with very very slow greens. It allows you to play very aggressive. The rough is a little overgrown but still reasonable. Staff was great and pace of play was good as well.
Rewarding
Got a nice "Hot Deal" and had a really nice time at RGA. Grass in the rough was high and unmowed for too long and made for a few lost balls that shoul have been found.
Slow greens
If you like slow greens, this is the place. Otherwise, the course is in good shape.
Great course
A friend of mine was looking for a different place to play. We found a great course with a good staff. Not a long course by any means but a lot of fun to play.
Greens in rough shape
I play RGA a lot and usually think the course is a decent value for the money, especially within Raleigh, but on this day the greens were really disappointing. Every putt seemed to do more bouncing than rolling. It's not completely RGA's fault as people just don't fix ball marks the way they should. But rolling the greens would help tremendously. It's jut frustrating to miss multiple putts that are tracking for the hole and bounce off course.
Nice course
A nice course but not worth the money. There are other courses that are more demanding and same cost.
Good value
I like this course as there are a couple holes that are drive-able and the holes offer a variety of shot approaches. The only drawback I had from this visit was the rudeness of the starter. There was no need for his attitude and even though I was at the tee box we let another group go before us because it was 1 minute before our tee time and the other guys were getting something from their car. It would be understandable if the group in front of us was at least on the green, which they were not so we could not have teed off yet anyways. Just not the way I like to be treated when starting a round.
Chapel Hill
1. Slowest greens of all time
2. Would not sell a 6 pack of beer, no coolers nor personal coolers.
RGA
Nice course to work on your game. Greens were very slow.
Front 9 is easy and the back nine was challenging with narrow fairways on some holes.
Recommend playing the first par 5 across the street with three irons to stay on play. Hit 7, 5 , and 9 irons to par the hole.
Hit way to the left on #17 to stay on play, everything funnels to the right woods.
Nice round of golf
The day was great weather and the course wasn't crowded so overall a nice afternoon. The grass is still struggling to grow in (told it was due to the late freeze) and the cart paths are pretty broken up in places. Overall the condition of the course is fine. The gentleman at the starter shack was very friendly and engaging.
Very mediocre
Very short. Fairways not in good shape. Greens were in good shape and fun. Overall a very mediocre layout/course. Couple of interesting holes, but way too many boring 350 yard par 4's. Better courses for same or less cost in the area.
Great Saturday morning outing!
Played with a couple friends and paired with a single to make 4. Pace of play was excellent, the course was in great shape and the greens rolled as true as could hope for. Just an excellent outing. Also enjoyed the two hotdogs at the turn (BRIGHTLEAFS). Definitely will be back soon!
Not worth the hassle
First time on this course on the 12th of April. No driving range here, they have a small chipping area though. The greens on this course would be better if they maintained them. The marshals here need to do a better job of maintaining the pace of play. It shouldn't take almost 5 hours on a 6200 yard course.
Nice layout, rough conditions
Like this layout. Like many older courses it's fairly tight, but the greens are excellent and consistent.
Only real complain is the fairways. We often had to hit off mud or compacted turf.
Saturday afternoon and pace of play was great
Good course, there are more demanding courses in the area, but the greens are well kept and the pace of play was great - no waiting on any tee on a Saturday afternoon - enjoyed the day with my son.
Good winter golf
greens in good shape. Some work needs to be done on cart paths
RGA is an open friendly course especially for Seniors. It is challenging enough for lower handicappers and fun for higher handcappers.
RGA is a very good golf course for all levels of golfers. It offers links that are very different in design and challenge.
