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
Great pre-winter conditions
Played on Friday the 13th, was a great day, 65 breezy, course is 4 plus conditions. Fairways still green with a little cushion to play off of. Greens 95%, a few rough places but didn't come into play for me. Surprised it wasn't busier for a Friday, played in 4:20. Well worth playing!
Great course...great value
I drive from Raleigh just to play this course. Its a great value for the price and the course is challenging. Highly recommend it!
Great layout
Even with recently punched greens this course was enjoyable to play. The rolling undulations of the course made for great shaped holes that made you pick and chose your shots wisely. The black tees challenged my length (7000) and the white tees were well placed for my fathers length (6000) .
I would love to go back to this course any time I am in the Raleigh area.
Always a great value
Played on a Saturday, Ranger and a starter kept things moving pretty well for the first 12 holes or so then it slowed down later in the afternoon. Fairways in good condition, some of the greens are hurting a bit. Great value and a good course. Well worth it.
The Neuse
The fairways and rough were better taken care of than any public course I've played in Raleigh-Durham. Greens had recently been punched so were grainy. Most holes are designed with a steep grade on either side of the fairway that can either help your shot or remove you from play. Lots of elevation change. Not too long but not too short. Doesn't demand extreme accuracy off the tee. Well-maintained. Great course.
4 stars my butt
Greens were junk. Took 5 hours to finish this small course. Ranger did nothing to speed up pace of play. Would rather pay extra to play a much nicer course
Nice course.
Lots of challenges with traps, multi-level play throughout course. Loved it and the weather was great.
Good Track
I was a little disheartened that the front 9 was being aerated and was closed (wish I knew that before coming out) but I played the back 9 twice and it was enjoyable. The course is in pretty good condition, the greens were slightly inconsistent but decent. Overall I would return if there wasn't a good deal for a course closer to me.
Couple of things
Simple things would bring this place to a five.
1) Refreshment cart. It's 95 degrees and you don't have a girl/guy driving around the course with refreshments to purchase. Easy money.
2) Better scorecard. The scorecard doesn't have pictures of the hole or description of the flag color positions.
Challenging course...little rough around the edges
I had always heard good things about The Neuse, and it was a fine round. Challenging course with OB off most tees due to houses. The greens were disappointing to me as I thought they were a little rough (especially early holes) and the pace could have been faster.
Nice course but not as nice as expected.
The booking was easy and we were able to get out early since we arrived early. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Club house and pro shop were beautiful. Course was nicely laid out and challenging as advertised. However, it was also advertised as lush and we'll maintainted and this was not the case. Most of the greens were extremely beat up and not very well maintained. Overall though, it was a decent course.
Love the Neuse
I have been playing here for twenty years and It is a great layout and always good condition. My only advice is to really look at pin poisitions as the color of the pin does not always match it's location on the green. This day, several "red, front pins" really actually back and a blue pin was obviously a front position.
A Hidden Gem
One of the better courses in the RDU area. Well maintained, nice greens, and great staff.
Unpleasant Experience
Course decided to book tee times 4 minutes apart and then was surprised when there were three groups waiting to tee off on the second hole. Took five hours and twenty minutes to play 18 holes and after the round the starter merely attempted to blame Golfnow for the slow play. Very unprofessional and ridiculous way to squeeze way too many golfers onto a course in order to justify making some additional money for the course. Too many other good courses out there to spend my money here again and have such an unpleasant experience.
Rangers?? We don't need no stinking Rangers!
You know, I love this course. Always great conditions, friendly staff, nice clean carts and challenging.
The only problem is the same one we see every round: granted this was Sunday after a holiday, but it wouldn't matter if it was a random Tuesday at 2:00...pace of play. This round was 5+ hrs. Unacceptable. And we never saw a ranger to encourage players to move along.
The poor 4-some behind us (and especially the unfortunate players behind them) were all high handicappers and they had to have been on the course for 6+ hrs.
I wish someone there would get a clue.
Challenging course
Course was in good condition. Front nine is fairly open and the back nine is very challenging. Pace of play was good for a Saturday.
Excellent Course
This course was well maintained with excellent green conditions. Fast and true! Staff were friendly and polite. The regulars do get restless with slow pace of play, but easily playable for any handicap. Course is long and open with some very interesting holes. Definitely a must play!
good round
good ok golf now go play this course it is not bad
