Fair at best

-Course offers little challenge

-Layout is bland with the exception of two decent holes on the back 9

-Course condition was just okay. Greens were soft, traps need serious work, fairways were decent

-This course isn’t worth more than $15 a round. No nicer than reedy creek

-If you want to spend $30+ go to Keith Hills

Fun Course to Play

It was a great value. My kids and I drove over an hour to check this course out and we had a blast. The greens were perfect speed--I made almost every putt which is rare for me. You can use driver and the fairways require both fades and draws which is nice. I would definitely play the course again. Thank you for a great time guys!!

I played this course several times , and this is a great course, interesting but needs a litlle maintenace here and there but still a great course.

Only down side, this is obvious a course for members who do not want to play with not members and nor do they let fast players through even slow 4 balls has no intention to let 1 or 2 fast players pass.

Great course for the money

Overal liked the layout and greens were in good shape rolling true. A little beat up around some fairway parts but it's not very expensive to play so would recommend it

Not so nice of a course.

Greens were in very bad shape. Lots of bare spots. Rough in terrible shape with a lot of ruts. Not worth the 33 dollar price. More on par with an 18 dollar course.

Old time course

Yeah the course was very nice for an old timey type course with a lot of tree line doglegs only thing that was a little disappointing was the greens were very shaggy and you had to kill the ball to putt them

Great value and a nice round!

I enjoyed my round at CC of Johnston County. The course isn't terribly long and the layout is fairly open, but there are a few opportunities that make you think about your shot selection. The course was in good shape, the greens rolled true, and the staff was extremely accommodating. I'll definitely be back.

Well worth playing!

Course was in great shape, staff was super friendly and the greens were fast but rolled true. Second time for us and we're already planning the 3rd.

Not Half Bad

Got a decent deal through Golf Now for a favorable tee time. It's a hike from Raleigh, about 50 minutes, and it's tucked back among some really nice houses. Clubhouse is large, but the pro shop is not. Range is less than mediocre; not really well-taken care of and range balls desperately need replacing. The course itself has a few blind shots, but overall isn't that difficult. There are some long holes and most of the par 5s are reachable. The greens were in ok shape, but they have potential to be very good once the grass comes in and the super can cut and roll them. Even with rough areas, they rolled relatively well and were quick-ish (probably 8.5-9 on the Stimpmeter). They held shots pretty well (a 3i into the wind on a long par 3 didn't even move) and well-struck wedge shots will check and spin. It would be helpful to have measurements to the end of the fairway on some of the sharper dog legs. Once the weather gets nicer and the course gets greener, might come back to give it another shot. If you don't mind the long drive, give this track a go. If you'd rather stay closer to Raleigh, you're not missing anything spectacular.
