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.

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.
Nice (difficult) course
The course was in immaculate shape. Fairways and greens were in perfect shape. Bring plenty of extra balls though!
Nice conditions
Very nice course. Greens are recovering from recent aerification but rolled nicely. Good mix of long and short holes. I really enjoyed my first time at The Neuse and will be back soon!
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.
Fantastic Course
Course is in excellent shape. From Tee to Green everything is perfect. Play here, you will not be disappointed.
Great condition!!!!
The course is in the best shape of any public or semi private course in the triangle area!!!! The only course with grass in the fairway!!!!!!! I don’t know what they did different from all the other courses but they have grass!!!!!
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.
Great Conditions
Played Saturday morning. Decent pace of play. Course was in great conditions. Greens were excellent. Would definitely recommend.
Great character
I like The Neuse better than any other golf course I've played within 60 miles. The course has great character and it's challenging for any level of player. It's not just another flat pine straw course. It demands shot making not just long shots. The greens are receptive, true, and in great shape. I look to playing The Neuse when the grass is growing strong, increasing the challenge.
Great Layout
Always a fun, fair course to play. Greens were a bit slow but rolled well. Need some heat to get the fairways green and growing. Pace of play was brutal for a Fr. Five hours is way too long for 18. Group ahead of us was struggling....had 2 open holes ahead of them....don't think it occurred to them to let us play through.
