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.

Not a bad course

Decent course but beware of the members. They are about the most unfriendliest people you want to come across. The word that best describes them starts with the letter d and ends in a.

Fast greens!

I like this course. I play it about once a month. We have had little rain lately so I guess thars why the greens are so fast. Usually not the case. The only issue were all the leaves. I know they can't do much about that this time of year. Its stinks losing a golf ball in the middle of the fairway. Very fun course to play. Bring your long iron when you play. There are a few doglegs where a l.p. g iron will come in handy.

Well worth the trip

Had a great round yesterday with 3 friends.

Course was in great shape. Lots of changes in elevation.

Greens, fairways and tee boxes were better than many Wake Cty courses with much higher green fees.

There are several holes with doglegs. I recommend you study the scoecard and and if possible get a view of the green before hitting second shot.

There were several long Par 4's and challenging Par 3's.

Staff in the pro shop was very friendly.

Will definitely go back to play again.

Even though it is a 40 minute drive from Raleigh you do not have to wait each hole like you do at many Wake Cty courses.
