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.

Excellent Raleigh area course

Beautiful course visually. Lots of elevation changes. Greens rolled great. Some blind shots and hidden hazards, so local knowledge is needed. Would play a few holes different next time. Great value at $70 with a GN deal.

A local gem in Raleigh

I've played here a couple of times now. This was a 9-hole run for me. The course is in great shape.

Not coming back

I walk as much as I drive. I don't like the course, the tee boxes drove me insane, they didn't have red tee but on they're map in the cart shows red but really none. it was yellow, so I figured maybe yellow and red are the same. but it was a bad tee boxes... and it was very slow.. I had to leave and skipped 3 holes.

Greens terrible

I love playing at the Neuse but the day we played, the greens were horrible. Looked like an amateur took care of the greens.

It was not worth $90.

I don't mind paying good money for a nice course, but I was let down this time playing there.

Needs some work…

Used to be a great track with amazing greens…it might be because of this time of year but there was no grass anywhere anything around the green was just mud. Greens weren’t as good as they used to be. Pace of play was much better than how it was before you would be out there 6 hours.

Great Course

Very good golf course. Extremely challenging greens to read and putt but fair. The bunkers need some work as far as new sand but I will play again.

Wrong Group

Awful pace of play had us at a crawl. Waited on every tee box and the marshal asked us to pick up our pace of play on the 16th while there was a group on our fairway. Not only did he pick the wrong group, he was incredibly slow to come out. A 3 hour round took 5 hours.

Not satisfied. Cashier always squeezed in members to play in front of us.

They allowed 5 somes in front of us. This is not the first time, it happened also the last time we played in Neuse.

The starter always allowed this five somes squeezed in front of us per instruction of the cashier.
