Raleigh Golf Association

First impressions are everything and upon reaching the very first green it was clear this course is currently unplayable. Probably the worst greens I've ever seen. Even for the price, it just isn't worth it. We cut off the round at 9 holes and called it a day. To their credit, they realize the issue and are about to reconstruct the greens completely. But the fairways need work as well if this track is to play like a quality muni. It's off my list for now.

I have played this course many times, but man my most recent round was rough. About 45 minutes behind pace, greens were full of weeds and felt like cement, tee boxes were pretty beat up too. Fairways were fine, but i’ve played much better in the area for similar prices. Only saving grace was the staff, but given how you only interact with them at the start of the round, its not enough to bring me back here. This went from a great course for the value to near unplayable in a matter of months.

The fairways were practically the rough. So slow no rolls or bounces . As for the greens they were hideous. If you ever played at pine burr when it was open the greens looked exactly like they did. It was basically like playing on cement. The course is in bad shape don’t pay over 20 bucks for it.

As others have said, there's a reason there's always an abundance of tee times here. Greens are mostly just low cut weeds and some of the fairways are too sloped to hold a perfect shot. They have a marshal but he's incompetent and does not know how to manage the pace of play to get the round under 5 hours. They also had a scramble with a shotgun start the day I played but didn't sell any fewer tee times because of it? Terrible course, terrible management

The greens were possibly some of the worst I have ever played on. The fairways were so deep I don’t think they had been mowed in at least a week or 2.

Good course layout, but the greens and tee boxes are absolutely worth a $5 tee time. Pace of play was overbooked .

Sure they always have open tee times, but have you ever stopped to think why? Save yourself some dignity. Go somewhere else

Played RGA 51 years ago, great little course in Raleigh, yesterday I was shocked at how bad of shape the course is in, I understand they are closing it and renovating it, it sorely needs it!

This course has a nice layout and would be really fun to play if the greens and fairways were in better shape. Divots and weeds all over the greens make putting a game of luck. Much better courses in the Raleigh/durham area for the same price point.

We had a fantastic time and the staff was friendly and very helpful.

Has great layout but good course for the rate.very friendly staff

Course overall is in really good condition. Greens are not the best. However, I usually expect that going into it. Great practice facilities with a massive putting green and a wonderful chipping green. Pace of play here is usually very good. There also a lot of beginners playing here which can tend to slow things down sometimes. Just be prepared for that and know that everybody has to start somewhere. It's usually fairly easy to get a tee time here which makes it a great go-to. I always enjoy myself here. Even when I blow up here I usually stay around 100 or less which makes me happy.

This is one of my favorite places However despite the fact that I had paid for a cart, I was told that I had to share with strangers. Covid is still around and I do not feel comfortable sharing with strangers. This is ridiculous and there is no mention of that upfront on their website or booking details. I walked away and cancelled my booking. If you are too busy to give out carts to people who have paid for them then perhaps you are overbooking and that is not fair.

First time playing at RGA and not sure if I’ll go back. The greens, while actually green, were littered with crabgrass on the front 9. The back 9 greens were better, with much less crabgrass, but the amount of unrepaired ball marks was ridiculous. I know that is the responsibility of players to fix when they occur, but the greens keepers should be repairing these at the end of the day. The fairways were in pretty good condition, and most of the tee boxes were decent except for 15…it was a sandbox. The back nine has some crazy short par 4s from the whites. Definitely made me work on my short game.

Considering the Golf Pass “Hot Deal” plus monthly discount and points used, it was worth the price I paid, but I wouldn’t be coming here if I had to pay full price.

Also, I have never had to wait so long to check in for a tee time. Took at least 15 min, thus not allowing me time to hit the practice green.
