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.

Needs work

This is my third time playing here...the greens were punched on 11 May 2015 and are slower than a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter. Many of the holes are getting re-sodded. The driving range and practice facility are in good shape though. Once they finish the repairs...it should be back to its normal pace.

Interesting Course- Raleigh Gem

This is a very nice course. For the most part, tees fairways and bunkers were in very good condition. Sand in the bunkers was as soft and in good shape as you'll find for a public track. The greens had been aerated (although punch marks are no longer showing), which made them as slow as any I can remember playing. That made it a little frustrating, but I'm sure they'll be cutting them shorter soon. This is a great course with lots of dog legs and elevation changes. It's fair off the tee, although visually it doesn't always appear that way. I'll definitely make this a regular stop.

Good Course but greens sandy and aerated

I've played this course several times. It's on of my favorites. I didn't know the greens were aerated. A heads up would have been nice.

The Neuse

The Neuse is one of the better courses in my area. It is a challenging course and makes you use every club in your bag. Green fees are resonable compared to many other courses nearby that are not the quality of The Neuse.

Problem with pace of play

Pace of play has been an issue at the neuse lately according to many posts. It was terribly slow today. We were out there for 4 hours and were not done with 14 holes yet. We quit because we couldn't take it anymore.
Layout is great and so are people. Fairways need some work right now but greens are in good shape. Great course for a great price but pace of play is major issue...

Slow... Again.

Seems to happen a lot especially during the week. I find a good afternoon tee time in hopes that I can get in a round, but get there to find out that there is a tournament and pace is VERY slow. The staff has yet to ever mention this before I go out and discover it myself. This recent experience I sped through 1 - 3 and got behind a foursome. After 20 minutes at the tee box I went off and quickly caught them at #5 where they informed me that there were 6 foursomes in front of them in their tournament. Why did the staff not tell me this and have me go off of #10? I picked up and went to #12 and passed the group. Pace after that was great, but I never got myself back together. Ruined my experience and day. Ended up playing a total of 8 holes for the day.

Love The Neuse Golf Club!

This course never lets me down. Greens rolled fast and true and were in great shape. Fairways and rough are beginning to come in, still a few weeks away from being green. The only complaint I have is pace of play, sometimes the members are reluctant to let u play thru. I didn't see a ranger which could help on busy days. This still won't keep me from coming back time after time

A must play

On route to Myrtle beach we like to break up the drive. This course is in a fabulous location for that.
Only negative which beyond control was the winter burn on parts of the fairways, did not affect play only took away from the beautiful vista.
There are are not too many courses in this part of the world with elevation changes like this course sprinkled with lovely boulders and not too much water.
The carts were great so you did not struggle over the terrain.
Many wonderful golf shots on this course where you must hit a shot but not have to carry for miles.

Slow Play Issue

Played the course twice in the last month. All was very good except for the pace of play the second time. We think the problem was 2 walkers that appeared to think they were playing the Masters, but wouldn't have qualified for the Drive, Chip & Putt contest. Further, IMHO walkers should not be allowed on this generally long and hilly course during prime weekend hours. It tarnished an otherwise very good experience.

Too slow

Very nice layout and nice course conditions, but 5 hour round is always unacceptable. There was not a single "players assistant" roving the course to check things out and speed up groups where necessary. No excuse. The Nuese is a long drive away and that is why I had not been there in several years, it is unlikely that I will return.

Great course for great price

The course was really nice. I am from Pennsylvania and was playing it with my dad, so we could get out of snow and I could prepare for my up comming tournaments. The course has lots of elevation on the back 9 and has a nice mix on the front of flat and hilly lies. The greens where receptive and probably a 8-9 on the stimp meter. The course was very fun to play and had lots of challenges to it.

Course Closed and failed to contact

While I am a big fan of this course I was not impressed that although they had allowed me to book at 9pm the night before they took the decision on the day to close the course due to frost. They failed to contact me despite my golf now confirmation clearly showing my telephone number. I drove 25 miles to the course for nothing.....not impressed!

Winter at the Neuse

After a long frost delay, we teed off on time, but pace of play was very slow. After two groups in front of us quit, we managed to finish before dark. The course was in good condition as always. The staff is professional and nice. Not sure what can be done to help with frost delays but would be nice to get things moving faster when delays occur.
