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.

Great Course

It"s had been a long time since I had played this course. Such a terrific layout. The new greens are spectacular. They ere top dressing some of the greens in preparation for the grand reopening . This is one of my favorite courses and should be one of yours.

Great Course

Better Without Temp Greens. Price was right, but temporary greens were not to cool. Would love to play under normal conditions. Played Blue tees shot 84. Two par 3s were closed. Course in great shape except for temp greens and a couple of blind shots from not knowing course and where to land ball.

Would play again and recommend to play.

Tempory Greens

When I booked I did no see the fine print that the greens were being done. It was temporary greens. I will not play there again until the greens are restored. It should be in bolder letters about the greens on your posting!

Swindled

All of the greens were being redone and temporary greens were situated in the fairways.

I did not complete the round because I felt they should have advertised the course maintenance to give a prospective golfer a choice not to play this course until the work is completed.

not worth visiting - under major course repairs

After 1 hr drive to get to course only to find that they had "NO" greens - they are in process of replacing them - no practice greens either- all this should have been noted at reservation time - only note was supposed "aeration" Driving range was also closed.

Not worth the trip, waste of time.

Greens are being rebuilt

There is no advisory on golfnow, but the greens are being changed from bentgrass to mini-verde. There are temporary greens with 8" cups, but it's not great. The fairways are nice though. Not sure how long it will be until the greens are playable.

Greens slick as ice, but they are killing them off to replace

I wish I wold have known they are in the process of killing off their greens in order to replace them. They were slick as ice. Literally I put my putter down a few times to line up a put and put weight on it and it slipped out below me. They rolled smooth but you couldnt keep anything below a PW to stick and any downhiller would roll of the green. There should have been a notice when booking. Also the PACE of play was the worst I have seen in a while. They had a started but no one riding through to keep it up. Once the new Greens are DONE it should be back to a 4 star rating if they can get a ranger/ keep up pace of play

Transition

course is transitioning over to Bermuda greens - plans to reopen 9/1/17. Temporary greens in play sometime next week. Next year - when I go back to play it again, I expect to find an even better Neuse course than it is today - which is quite a statement. This is a great layout with many challenging holes - the addition of bermuda greens is going to make this one terrific course. Lets hope that greens-fees do not skyrocket with the new greens. $7 for a small bucket of range balls is already pretty high. Was disappointed that there were no rangers and no beverage cart on Memorial Day weekend. 5 hour round - too long!!!

Greens to be Replaced

Neuse is my favorite course in the RTP area. The layout is a blast for mid-handicappers....10 - 16. Thankfully, they are changing their greens from Bent to Bermuda in June 2017. They expect to reopen Labor Day with the new greens. Great layout, fairways are very good, rough not too high. They will have temp. greens thru the summer.....looking forward to playing there again In late Sept. Don't stay away from Neuse during the transition....it could be set up to be great for introducing new players to golf.....like lots of par 3's and short par 4's.

Beautiful course

This course is absolutely beautiful and well built. This course is also exceptionally challenging and made for a difficult first round. Very well maintained course and it will be enjoyable playing it again, not to mention that I will keep a lot more golf balls.

Not my choice for NC golf

Found the course on golf now. Rate was reasonable but conditions were fair. Greens and fairways rock hard. We also had to skip a hole because we were a twosome in a cart and had four walkers in front of us. Lay out was ok if you like quirky. Not saying I'd never go back but not sure I would either.

Standard course. Challenging.

This course has a nice layout and is fairly undulated (hilly). This makes for tough ball positions above and below your feet often. For the couple of times I have played here, the clubhouse staff have been average at best, usually a little rude. Every time I come here with my friend we get paid with a group and most often they are fairly bad. My rounds here on the weekend average 5-5.5 hours which is too rough for my liking. The grass on the greens needed cut and everything was very slow. The course condition was fine aside from that. I like other courses in the area more than here and will keep my play here to a minimum.
