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.

Golfer Reviews
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!
Beautiful Rolling Course
The course was in excellent shape for this time of year. The greens were immaculate. Great staff. I highly recommend.
Always great
Love this course-always in great shape and a challenge!
I like it
Alway a great time at the neuse ...
Greens are firm and in great shape the layout is challenging from any tee box . Fairways can be wet in spots and tee boxes should and will get more attention when the season ramps up . But for now it’s a great value . Great staff and pro very personable .
Great layout
I love this course challenging but fair............Great layout as well. One of the better courses in the triangle.
The Neuse - Great course, great value
Very challenging golf course, you'll use every club in your bag. New mini Verde Bermuda greens, are fantastic. Putts run true. To score well, you must employ smart game management, if you do you'll be rewarded.
Note, holes 2 and 3 are near the river and putts have a pronounced break towards the river when your putt starts to loose pace.
greens are in excellent shape for being middle of winter!!! Staff very friendly and carts were in great shape. Best course in the county and blows the other 27 hole one around the corner away!!!!! Only complaint is that wish they would have opened a few of the fairway to carts. Always a first look when playing in that area!!
Excellent Greens
Neuse continues to be one of the best courses in the RTP area. New Bermuda greens are in excellent condition....not too fast, very true. Dormant Bermuda rough is long and dense. Great, challenging par 4's on the back 9.
Must play!
Weather was great, the course was in excellent condition, what more can you ask ? Fun course, lots of risk/reward shots. You'll use every club in your bag and face every lie imaginable. This is a gem!
Great Challege.
New greens rolling expectionally well. Great hole designs, several unique. Residential routing, but elevation changes and consistent conditioning make it worth the cart ride amongst the houses. Nice staff... efficient even on busy weekends.
