The Neuse Golf Club
About
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.

Good and challenging course
Enjoyed playing this course. Definitely was a challenge at my skill level.
Great Course

Good course
Course rates were cheaper than most courses in Raleigh which are in horrible condition and bad layouts

It’s winter, I guess
Course is in bad shape. Nothing was over seeded for winter, some tee boxes had no grass at all and were just sand, greens may have been painted green but had very little grass, some bunkers were washed out and most haven’t been raked in awhile. The course layout is great and when I’ve played this course years ago it was in good shape. I’d have to see some good reviews later for me to go back.

Good Day
I enjoyed the course today. Not too many braved the cold weather this morning but the day turned out weather and full of sunshine. It was wet, which is to be expected in winter conditions after a couple days of rain.
My only complaint is with the maintenance crews. They had work to do but they really should shut down their work on the sand traps when golfers are playing the hole. I had nobody in front of me or begging me, it would have been nice if they shut the noise down for the 5 minutes it took me to play the hole.

Driving Range closed
the driving range was closed, except to members. This was especially unfortunate considering how remote the course's location is. We weren't informed of the range status until after we had arrived an hour early. We did get refunded immediately, however.

Nice track
First run at this track. Was a wet and cold day, but still was playable. Nice views of the Neuse, up and down some hills, and had to hit it both ways for better angles. They might install some bells on a few holes, because several blind tee shots where you might land it on someone’s head. We debated and waited, which was awkward. Especially with group behind us sitting in carts staring. What to do except make sure the group in front was gone. A few gettable par 5s were fun and $30 hot rate was exceptional. With carts on path it was 4.5 hours, which is fine. Overall, with firm greens this would be fun to play and props for elevation changes and the Neuse views.

Nice layout, decent walk
Winter conditions are a bit sloppy, quite muddy in spots. The course overall is in good shape. Walking is good, with only two or three distances btw holes long. Course winds through a mature single-fam home development. Good value.

Need starter
Over all, the course was in really good shape for how much rain we have had. The course did not have a starter, nor were there any marshals throughout the day.Staff inside should of had a better handle on the first tee box. Why would you put a single behind two foursomes and a fivesome? Asked to start off early, or off the back, denied on both. Members were seen driving their carts in the fairways. which were wet, when it was cart path only, but staff did not seem to want to address it.

Good for a weekend round
All courses in NC are very wet right now. Although course was soaked it has a great challenging layout for a mid handicapper. Course amenities are sub-par. Overall it was a 3 to 3.5 star experience and I will go back.
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We're glad that you enjoyed the challenge of our layout despite the wet conditions. We appreciate your feedback on our amenities and we will make note. We hope to see you back at The Neuse Golf Club!
Greens need work and better pace of play
Today was a colder December day, so there was a frost delay - completely understandable. This did cause a lot of confusion/miscommunication between the starter and pro shop. I was in a three-ball and the group that ended up teeing off before us was a 6-ball! Luckily I was playing with a member who immediately called into the pro shop to force the 6-ball to break up into 2 groups, which still took 20 minutes for the Marshall to respond.
We were stuck behind these two groups for the remainder of the front 9, which caused almost a 2.5 hour front 9. After 9 holes, one of our group left early because they were tired of waiting. Fortunately us last two were able to play through the 2 slow groups on 10 and 11 - once we passed them we didn’t see a single group on the course again. Really poor management of pace of play, the entire course was backed up because of those 2 groups on a day when the course was only half full.
The layout of the course is fun, but the greens are completely trashed. There was so many divots unrepaired and sand spots - and they were the slowest greens I’ve played in the area. I wouldn’t recommend people go play out there any time soon until they are able to repair their greens. It’s unfortunate because it is a very fun layout, and was a great course the last time I played there about 10 years ago.
Thank you for your review! We apologize that you didn't fully enjoy your round with us. We appreciate your feedback and will make sure to use your review to help us improve moving forward. Thank you again and we hope you'll give us another try in the future.
Pace of play sucks
There needs to be a marshall patrolling the course. Our foursome got stuck behind a group who were playing way too slow and would not let us play through. On top of that, the group behind us knew nothing of the rules of etiquette. As they were playing from the red tees, they hit into our group more than once, not waiting on us to move forward. We would have let them play through, but due to the aforementioned group, it would have done no good.
