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.

Worth the price

Would be nice to have much more yardage markers especially 150 yard markers.

Almost Fantastic

Fairways were immaculate. Cool course layout, hilly elevation changes and doglegs. Only negative was the greens were aeriated about 10 days prior so they were slow with some rough spots. But in maybe a week this will should be all around 5-star course.

Course is Great, Staff was not

I want to start by saying, the course itself is really good. This was my third time playing here, and I thought it was in great shape all three times. The fairways are pristine, and though some of the greens have some significant burnt out spots, they are still playable. The value of this course has made it well worth it, to me, to drive about an hour from North Raleigh to play.

However, I will not be returning for a while, because my most recent experience was almost unbelievable. As a group of four, we made it through three holes in 45 minutes (4.5 hr pace). At the fourth tee, we were approached by a staff member and asked to increase our pace because we were going to cause a log jam with the groups behind us. We found this a little strange because their was still a full hole between us and the closest group behind, but we increased our pace a bit. We made it through the front without any other issues, but at the turn, things got more frustrating.

Despite finishing nine holes in two hours, we were approached by another staff member at the 10th tee and asked to wait for the group in the 9th fairway to play through. We politely protested saying we weren't playing slow, so this didn't make sense. It was explained to us that the group behind was FIVE members and were assured "they play very fast". We unwillingly waited, but this group then decided to make a stop at the clubhouse, understandably, before making the turn. At this point, we were allowed to continue playing, and we hoped this would be the end of it.

Unfortunately, the back nine turned into one of the least enjoyable nine holes of golf I have played. The staff member that asked us to let the group of five play through, proceeded to follow us around the course for the entirety of our last nine holes. Golf is a hard enough game when you don't feel like you are being watched, and the staff made us incredibly uncomfortable. On top of that, the group behind us was never in a position where they had to wait for us for more than about a minute, until maybe the last hole or two.

Due to this experience, I have no plans to return any time soon. While I will credit the staff with being polite in the way they spoke to us, I found their requests of us on the course to be rude and in bad taste. This is very disappointing, because I do like the course. However, with plenty of courses closer by, I would rather play somewhere that doesn't rush my group when we play their course in less than four hours.

We are sorry to hear about your experience at the CCJC, but your group was asked on the first tee to keep up with the group in front of you. When you were spoken to on the fourth hole, you were already 2 holes behind, so that's why you were asked to pick up the pace. We had 2 groups of members, who were both playing fivesomes, and by #10 both groups had caught up to you, and you were still 2 holes behind the group in front of you. We asked your group on #8 to place any food orders on the next tee, that way it would be ready for you at the turn. Your group spent 10 minutes getting your orders, so we are not sure if this was done or not. Our job, as rangers, is to ensure pace of play is kept to our advertised 3 and a half hours, and that everyone has an enjoyable round of golf.
