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.

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.
Perfect day
Awesome course great weather and magnificent greens. Don't know if you could do better for $29.
Best deal all year
First time playing this course and I couldn't have been more impressed. Course was in great condition with a very nice & difficult (but not too difficult) layout. Huge greens that are in very good condition, big elevation changes & tournament quality layout. A few gimmick holes but overall I loved this course. With getting the $15 Hot Deal, this was by far the best deal I have gotten all year considering the quality of the course.
Memorable last round of golf vacation
I found this course on Golf Now and then researched it for reviews which looked positive so I booked 18 for my wife and I. We paid $25 ea. and at that price it was excellent value. Nice rolling landscape with interesting holes surrounded by nice homes. The course layout should be fair for all skill levels but intermediate to advanced skilled players will certainly enjoy more. The course was in great shape and great fun to play, highly recommend!
Greens
Played here two weeks ago and the greens were lightening fast. Played today and didn't get a putt to the hole, much slower. Don't get me wrong they were still in great condition, just confused about how much slower they were. Pace of play was fantastic. Can't wait until the fairways grow in.
Great course
Beautiful course. Greenways are kept clear of leaves and debris. It was somewhat challenging but manageable for a relatively beginner/intermediate player like me.
Rangers
We were having a great time, got partnered with a man and his son and we got along great. then the rangers stopped us to tell us to speed our round up. Trouble was that the foursome in front of us were the ones holding things up. Rude and uncalled for.
Fivesome midday Sunday, you kidding?!
Nice course, well kept, friendly staff, great value, much here to really like.....however, midday day on a nice Sunday and you send out a fivesome??? Might not have been that bad except as players your reminded of pace of play in the shop before you head out to the first tee. Would have finished in 4, but ended up taking 5 hours. Whoever let the fivesome go that day made a poor judgement call.
Ehh
First, the staff sent a fivesome out, on a weekend. The ranger mentioned that the five some was allowed out because of a skins games. Needless to say, pace of play suffered. Course was in fine condition for the time of year, however, greens were inconsistent. I could see this course being nice when the weather finally breaks. It is house lined basically throughout the entire course, which gets a bit boring for me. Worth the hotdeal price, for sure.
issue with other group
We played in just under 4.5 hours and had multiple issues with a group behind us yelling at us to pick up pace when we were waiting to hit because the group in front of us was in range. Started came out to tell us all to move faster, we teed off before 9AM, and moved with plenty of pace. Was just boggled at the issue. Wont play here again for a while. Course was in pretty good shape, no problems there.
Great experience
I must say that i had a great experience of customer experience i ever had at a golf course before ever. I booked my TT and was unable to make it to play.. I call the course and ask if I could play at a later date. To my surprise Joe said yes, he allow me to play 4 days later. Needless to say he did not have to do this, but he did honor my coupon.. For this act of kindness I give them 10 stars...
Great course, take your a game.....
New greens are nice
The new greens have come in nicely. While at this point they still look less than perfect that is just looks...they are smooth and rolled great!
Excited about new greens!!
This was the first time I have played there since they redid the greens - I was very happy to see that they appear to be coming in great. This is a fun course to play - the addition of good Bermuda greens is only going to add to the enjoyment. Go play this course if you get a chance.
Beautiful Course
This course has it all; beautiful layout, amazing greens, awesome staff, and a lot of rolling hills!
This course is a must play if you want a great bang for your buck. The new greens are amazing and roll as true as you could dream. Must play!
Always a pleasure. Course has been taken care of.
I have played the Neuse many times, but it had been a year or so since my last time. It is the end of the winter, but I was very happy with the course conditions. The fairways were just starting to green up, and even though it rained the day before, the course was basically dry. Fairways, rough, and greens were all in very good shape. Greens were medium to fast, but I expect they would be a little faster in spring. I saw them adding new sand to one bunker, even though there is good sand in the bunkers already, so I'm not sure if that was just a little maintenance.
I've always enjoyed the layout of the course with a great variety of holes, most of them challenging, but the long 18th is a bit too long for the average player. The 14th is one of the prettiest holes in the area. They also have one of the, if not the, best putting greens in Raleigh with both flat and breaking areas and holes well spread out across a large green. I was a bit surprised that the range was mats only yesterday, though. Even though it rained the previous day, the turf felt dry, and they have plenty of open area to work with. Balls were relatively new, and carts are brand new electrics, but governors are a bit harsh. Good grill (no bar, but good beer selection) and small, but decent, clubhouse.
Given that I paid only $20 to play during the week in the middle of the day, I think it's fair to say that it is one of the best deals in the Raleigh area if you're willing to drive a little bit. Looking forward to my next round here. I wish it was a little closer to my house!
