Neuse Golf Club was ranked as one of the best public golf courses in North Carolina, second only to Pinehurst. The layout winds along the Neuse River across rolling hills that are dotted with rocky outcroppings. Towering, mature pines accent the landscape as well, especially along the fairways. Each hole provides a dramatically different challenge and unique scenery. Views of the winding river can be enjoyed on almost every hole. A variety of bunkers and doglegs are strategically placed throughout the golf course, demanding both accuracy and thoughtful strategy. The design closely follows the natural contours of the hilly terrain. Dramatic elevation changes guarantee that flat lies will be hard to find. The golf course is no easy feat but the beautiful scenery and interesting hole designs will appeal to any player.

Great course

First time playing here and it was tough for me. Beautiful course and they had it in good shape, the greens had been sanded but still rolled true. The staff is friendly nice clubhouse and bar. I will be back to play it again.

One of my favorite courses

the layout is challenging with the back nine being the harder of the two. the par 5's are fairly short and accessible with two solid shots and the par 3's have a little more length.

course was in good condition although the greens were getting ready for the summer aeration and had a few uneven spots.

like most courses these days, it is getting more expensive to play, thus I don't get to the Neuse as much as others who live closer.

Good local course

Good local course, played a little slow but it was also in the mid 90s, so understandable. Greens were rolling slow due to heat but all in all course was in pretty good condition

Great layout & challenges

Had been a long time since I played The Neuse. Glad I made it back. Conditions were really good - tee boxes, fairways, rough and greens (although I could be critical and say a touch slow & some bumpy). This is a great layout. Premium to keep in fairway and to have some course knowledge. Would be challenging to walk as many holes have elevation changes. Staff was very friendly and engaging. Would play again.

Best track in the Triangle

Always my favorite track! Greens were still sandy from the last aeration but not unplayable. Pace was slower than I like but that’s golf. I wish I didn’t live so far away or I would be a member.

They've got a lot of things to fix.

I was so excited to get a chance to play The Neuse. I haven't played in over 25 years.

Back in the day it struck me as one of the better courses in the Raleigh area. Right out of the gate disappointment set in, with no forewarning through golf now in booking this time were we made aware that the back nine would be closed for aeration.

That meant we had to play the front nine twice.

It didn't seem like they made an accommodation for this as when we made the "turn", Everything bogged down, they were three groups per hole and the pace of play became unbearably slow.

We found out that pre-Covid the course was running into financial issues and it ended up being sold and bought by new ownership. They seem to be working on the course as the fairways were very lush and playable. The greens on the other hand we're not so good. I think they were the sport tiff greens and they were very patchy. One of the greens on the front nine at the higher elevation seemed to not be getting any water at all and it looked like it had been in a three month drought, as the grass was very burnt out and looked as if they were about to lose that green. We really haven't had an extremely dry spring this year. I guess if you want to say for the money which we got a hot deal I have been on worse courses, but this used to be a really really good course in Raleigh and it has been left to rot away.

Hopefully the new ownership is working on it and maybe next year it will be in much better shape.

Super challenging

First time playing this course and was super impressed. Tee boxes perfect, fairways perfect, greens are all cut evenly and super fast and consistent. Will definitely be returning. Props to the grounds crew for keeping it in such good shape.

Great Round

Played here for the first time in awhile and the course was in great shape! Always is! Used to play here all the time before Covid when the price to place was half of what it is now so I don’t get out to this course as much anymore but was in great condition as always
