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.

A real ole school golf course. Country Club of Johnston County

As a first time playing this older course have to say it was fun, great shape and overall good experience.

We, brother and friend played from gold tees to get a feel for the course,, even from there it was not a pushover at all.. (we usually play white)

the greens were a bit slow as they were letting them grow in a bit for winter so putting was fun..

Overall the course was in great shape and fun to play.. hope to return again.. :)

Fun

The course has a fun layout. The greens are slow and grainy with bare spots here and there. It wasn’t crowded late morning on a Saturday so the pace of play could be very good if you don’t get behind the group we did. I would go back if I lived closer.

Worth the trip

Course was wet from Hurricane Helene in some areas however it was still very playable which speaks volumes for the greens superintendent.

Beautiful old course

We really enjoyed this old course. Especially the setting by the lake. The course was in fantastic shape and really had some unique holes on it. I was pleasantly surprised and am really looking forward to playing again. I definitely have a special place in my heart for these older, storied curses.
