The Neuse Golf Club

4th time playing, really enjoy the layout. Greens putted well

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.

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.

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.

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!

Challenging and definitely worth the money. Back nine is long and deserving of handicap and slope.

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.

Course was in very good condition for the middle of January.

I consider this course a shot placement course and is not a challenging as I was lead to believe.

Lots of sand traps! Fairly wide fairways but traps to keep you honest! Nice trac several holes along the river!

Championship course in a very good condition and great value for the money

Great condition for winter time golf. Back nine long and difficult so be prepared. I'll be back .

This was the third course I've played and the fourth game I've played. It is the most challenging of the three. It was difficult for me, as a beginner, to hit a ball and not know where the flag was. The course is very hilly.
Overall, it was a great learning experience. I am looking forward to playing on this course in the future--the weather warms up.

I would not recommend to seniors with health problems or those with problems walking due to hip or knee problems. Some holes would be a challenge for them. I like the course as it has peaks, valleys and a nice layout design. I was not please with the greens. I have played five different courses in the past 10 days and these greens I would rate at the bottom at this time out of those I played.

Beautiful course! Greens where in fantastic shape. This was my second time playing the course. The only recommendation is to get more help in the kitchen/lounge. Both times when making the turn, I stopped to get a snack and was delayed 15 minutes. Each time there was only 1 person trying to keep up in the kitchen. She was working diligently and I felt bad that she had no help.

Greens were great. only issue with them is not with course, but players who don't fix their divots. Neuse is a great layout. Always was. still is. Good value and well maintained. Friendly staff and nice practice facility. what more can you ask.

Course in fairly good condition. Twice now 5 hour round and no course manager to manage groups. Last round here at this course.

We were a little late for our tee time, no scolding from the desk, slipped us right in and we paired up with the twosome in front of us. One green had some blight, otherwise, it would be five stars for conditions, especially for the price. Always one of my favorite courses. Nice views of the Neuse river along a couple holes.

Play was a little slow this day, and we had a threesome behind us who thought they would be cute and hit into us and camp right behind us while we waited for a green to clear. Apparently they're not used to confrontations, because they backed down pretty quick, didn't get within 300 yards of them the rest of the day. Not the club's fault, but the only blight on a beautiful day.

I've played this course numerous times and I'm always impressed with the overall quality. It is always in at least fair condition and most often I find it to be in good to very good condition. It provides some challenge, but does not punish the average golfer. The greens did have some rough spots and a few tee boxes were a bit barren, but nothing so bad that negatively impacted the round. The Neuse is a solid course I will absolutely play again.

The Neuse is a fantastic course, great layout demanding placement off the tee and ample strategy. I struggled as it was my first time. My bad shots would have been bad anywhere but even some solid shots were penalized by a poor line. Pay attention to sloping fairways as your ball can quickly run into trouble if shaded too far toward the low side. This is not at all to say the the course is unfair, far from it, just that a particular line off of many tees would be most beneficial.

Scoring aside, I loved the layout and variety of holes. The strategy demanded in whether to lay-up or carry a hazard, flying your ball to the green's proper level, placing your tee shot with regard to the green's location and/or pin placement. It all adds up to a fun, challenging yet fair test of golf.

The greens on the back were spotty in appearance yet putted true. Crews however, were busily addressing the conditions. Tee-boxes and fairways were excellent. The bermuda rough was healthy and sticky, particularly on chips, as bermuda can be.

The starter and pro-shop staff were cordial and accommodating, in all a fine experience and I'll be sure to return.
