Raleigh Golf Association

This is a great course to play for the average or above. Sadly the greens have gotten so bad that keeping scores lower are hampered by such bad putting surfaces.

RGA is a solid course as always. The conditions overall were pretty good, but the greens were certainly in rougher shape than usual. They had lots of bald spots, pitch marks, blemishes, and rough bumps. Putting at RGA often feels very frustrating as the greens often behave in a seemingly random fashion, and even when you do hit a great putt with the right read, the bumps and rough shape of the greens will make sure to throw your ball offline.

Fixing the quality of the greens and adding in even a simple hitting mat and net station, would really take RGA to the next level.

Course was a mess, greens had fungus with many bare spots, tee boxes were very shabby and fairways were fair at best.

The course itself is great! Awesome layout and nice staff help overall, but the pace of play was terrible. It felt like they overbooked the course and we suffered for it. We had a group of 3 people and our cart said we were 45+ minutes behind pace, but we couldn’t do anything. There were so many groups in front of us playing terribly slow and we found ourselves waiting 10 to 15 minutes before we even got to hit off each tee box. Or waiting 5 or more minutes between each shot because there were too many people. At one point we hadn’t teed off one of the holes because we were waiting for the people in front of us to go and we still had 4 more carts behind us waiting to go.

Staff was very kind but unfortunately this place is a bit of a goat ranch. No real bunkers in play, greens are small and have weeds, course layout is short and uninspired. Pace of play (at 1:00 pm on a Wednesday) was horrid; 3 groups were waiting on the 5th tee box. I had heard decent things but it just isn’t the right spot for me. If you’re new to golf, find a hot deal and come out for a day as it’s a solid place to learn the game. But otherwise, I can’t recommend.

Me and my friends also play this course on the regular. But unfortunately lately the course is in horrible condition. The layout outstanding. If you try to call and get a tee time they won't answer the telephone the greens and heels crabgrass look like some type of old practice course at this point they really should take the time to improve considering that they're charging almost $40 during the week and 40 plus during the weekend absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. Please spend the money where it's needed

The greens were pretty bad. Full of crabgrass, and as a result quite lumpy. The tee boxes were mostly pretty bad also. Often hard to find a decent surface to tee up. And it remains hard for me to understand why there are so many irrigation line breaks all over the place. Lots of areas that are muddy and corded off.

It’s really criminal that RGA charges as much as they do. The greens are some of the worst in the area with weeds and dead spots. Tee boxes are not well maintained. Pitch marks are worse than knights play. It’s not like they have a driving range to also maintain too. It wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t $40 a round during the week. Do better

I have played this course multiple times over 25 years. It is in the worst condition I can remember. Crab grass in fairway, roughs, and on green. No fringe on the green, rough was unfairly long - we are not playing the US Open.

So we teed off and everything was good for the front 9 . The greens were in crab grass shape but not too bad . Then we had a choice on two back nines to go to . We choose the wrong one . There was a Lady out there literally teaching two golfers how to play on a Sunday . She first should have taught golf etiquette but she obviously did not know any and she calls herself a teacher . She slow played for 4 of the back wholes and we said something to let them know how slow they were . Then she came back to lecture us to be patient and she was keeping up with the people ahead of them which was farther from the truth . She was rude and came back and said if you have a problem with it then ask Robert about it . WTF was name dropping going to do . I thought she was coming back to apologize. Never never again am I going to spend 50.00 on a course that is not worth it . Be talked to like I was 4years old and then did not apologize for wasting a extra hour on a Muggy day . Horrible and made it to be our fault .

always a great experience at RGA. Eric, Robert, & Melinda in the pro shop are always very helpful and look out for regulars. Course is always in good shape too.
