No markers??

There were no distance markers anywhere making it a very frustrating round. Fairways were in very good condition.

Great layout and friendly staff

I had an incredible experience at the Country Club of Johnston County. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel right at home — warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. The course layout is ideal, offering a great balance of challenge and playability, making every round both fun and rewarding. The greens are in excellent shape, clearly well cared for, and roll beautifully. After playing here, I can confidently say this is my new favorite place to golf. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch golf experience.

Hadn’t played here in 20 years. Course is in great shape from tee to green. Shots in the fairway are rewarded! The rough can be penalizing. Great bang for your buck just a few miles out of Wake County. And well worth the drive!

Course is in great shape! Thick rough but fairway shots present great lies and ideal conditions. Greens a little slow but overall great spot to play just outside Wake County.

Potential

Booked a tee time late in the week so this was a last resort. After playing I now can see why times we’re available. Nothing wrong with the course, layout, staff at all. Biggest issue is simply the greens. They hadn’t been cut in what seemed like forever as everything was moving SO slow. Almost felt like I was putting through the rough on there so you had to stick it within 5 feet to give yourself hope. I personally wouldn’t play here again unless they severely paid attention to their greens conditions.

Great value for the money but….

Overall the course was laid out well and fairways were in good shape. Unfortunately, the greens were just aerated and not in great shape during our round. If you wanted to play here, would be best to wait a couple of weeks for the greens to be in great shape hopefully. Would recommend.

Charged me much more than expected

I reserved a tee time for 2:50 on the 27th for $53 per person and a $7.47 convience fee. The remaining balance should have been $159. When we got there, they charged me $213.21. When I realized the error, I called the course for my $54.21 refund, I was told by the pro shop to call golfnow, it's not their problem. When I called golfnow, they said they couldn't help either so what's the point? I'm trying to figure it out.

Terrible greens and grass

They have attempted to fix dead spots in the greens with sod and nothing else so you end up with very bumpy areas on most greens that you can’t put over. It literally looks like I had my kids do it.

Another great day of golf..

Playing with brother and some friends.. the greens was good but due to recent aeration a bit slow slight bumpy.. but that will change shortly and be lighting fast like normal..

Here is teh bummer.. We paid 40 per person and with fee added on.. one of our party was not on the GN plan, and only paid like 35 total.. I did get a 25% discount from past orders but was like DAMMMM..

next time I will call teh course to get a real price and not the retail price shown on GN at 48 bucks.

overall a great course..

Marginal Condition

Hadn't been to CCJC in 4 years. Fun, old school layout. Fairways very wet and thin. Greens were so-so.....several had very large sections of no grass.

This course needs some dry weather and a lot of heat to get the Bermuda grass growing. I'd hold off until June to play.

One of the better JoCo courses

Every thing was in good condition especially considering it’s the middle of winter. Every time I’ve been it’s always a good time and decent greens. The food and drinks (alcohol) are pretty good as well. I definitely recommend this place if you’re local and need somewhere decent to play.
