Rating 74.1

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.

Local excellence

Excellent staff. Excellent course. Excellent layout. Excellent conditions. Best course I’ve played in the Johnston County area and I’ve played them all. They’re offering memberships at a very affordable rate right now. Seriously considering joining. Outstanding in every way!

Great course and conditions, but needs a ranger

The course was packed when we showed up for our 2pm tee time. Our twosome was told to join a single that was making his way to the tee. At the tee, another twosome joined and told us they were also being added so we played as 5. This wasn’t a problem because everyone was decent and played quickly. Finished the first 9 in just over two hours despite the number of people.

The problem was that as we made the turn, a foursome came out of nowhere (they were not ahead of us or behind us the previous nine) and jumped in front of us on 10. They had little experience and were clearly not capable of keeping pace. They didn’t offer to let us play through, but were playing over a hole behind the group ahead of them. The course needs someone driving around and pushing people like this. Second nine took 3:30 s not ok.

Pace was very slow.

Nice course. Pace was very slow. We had 5 in the group ahead of us. Five and a half hours is too long for me.

Course in great shape!!!

The best greens I have played on in a while. Overall course conditions were very good - a few tee boxes are a bit bare of grass. Good place to go play right now.

Tough Course = Good Fun

This is a tough course on any day, the extremely firm greens made it a challenge. Course really needs to ariate to gan some softness to the 11 month old new greens. More moisture on the greens and tee boxes couldn't hurt.

Overall enjoyable day!!!

A Great Course at a Great Price in Raleigh

The Neuse is a wonderful golf course. It is challenging and the terrain and layout are very different from hole to hole. The course is very well-maintained and the greens are wonderful and true.

If I lived closer than 750 miles away I'd become a member and play here all of the time.

Get here now.

Beautiful (but tough)

Course conditions (considering the 3-4” of rain we’d had the week before) were amazing.

Greens (new Bermuda) were firm but slow. Strange undulations too.

Pace of play always seems slow, but for a Sunday (and cart path only) 4 1/2 hrs was resonable.

One word of advice: score low on the front 9 ‘cause the back 9 can be brutal. I shot a 41 & a 47 (from the blue tees).

Happy Golfer!

The course is in great shape from the tees to the greens. I posted a 79 from the Blue tees which is one of my best scores for the season.
