Raleigh Golf Association

Great day of golf but the greens needed some attention. Bumpy

Was in town for business and was looking to play a few courses. Choose this course due to tee time (was looking to get in a early round). The staff was friendly and got me out quickly. They do not have a driving range, only a short game area. The most disappointing part of this course where the greens. It was evident that the greens had not been cut that day (and maybe in a few days). I had practiced at Lochmere Golf Club the day prior and the difference between the greens was night and day.

These greens where so slow you could not read them or even try to play a break because they where so much like putting on grass that had not been cut. If you're a lower handicap and looking for greens that can test your putting skills, I would pass on this course. Might have been just the fact that they had not been cut in a while but really no excuse for these conditions. I played about 7 holes and then decided to leave and go back to Lochmere to work on my game.

Very friendly staff. Course is in good shape, though greens were a bit bumpy in spots (people need to fix their ball marks).
Play was slow ,but picked up on the back.

Need to cut the grass. Didnt enjoy the greens. Friendly staff. Played here before where the greens were in better conditions and the grass was cut.

It's RGA. For under $50 on a weekend morning, there aren't a ton of options in the area, and it's a short drive away. Our twosome was paired with another and teed off on time. Never had to wait for anyone ahead of us and didn't have anyone pressing from behind except for a couple holes. The fairways were a little thin and hard in places, and the rough was either thin or swallowed your ball -- not much in between. Almost looked like they were trying to grow the course out to look like Lonnie Poole in places -- tall native (or ignored) grass and bermuda literally 10" deep (behind green on 16). Most of the greens were covered in ball marks, as well as being soft, hairy, and slow. Pretty much what you would find at Knights Play or any course with beginners and weekend hackers. To be honest, it was sort of a last resort, and that's about the only reason I'd choose to play it again.

The cart paths were in very poor condition and grass not well tended

Nice place to play, if your expecting pro conditions. And among us is a pro? The greens had some crab grass, traps were nice & fairways acceptable.. I would play again if price was under $30

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.

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.

One of the nicer public courses in the Raleigh area. Affordable and in good shape. It was a fun round.

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.

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.

If you like slow greens, this is the place. Otherwise, the course is in good shape.

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.

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.

A nice course but not worth the money. There are other courses that are more demanding and same cost.

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.

1. Slowest greens of all time
2. Would not sell a 6 pack of beer, no coolers nor personal coolers.

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.

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.
