Chapel Hill Golf Course

Excellent course design! Challenges are aplenty; from terrain to elevation differences on individual holes to tightness of holes to green play to traps and water hazard placements. You will get to know every club you have and maybe another you will want to add to your bag. Chapel Hill is perhaps the best overall public course in the area.

Not bad, not great.

A couple holes on the back nine stood out, especially #12, an almost ridiculously difficult and intimidating hole from the back tees, with the added hazard of power lines which your tee shot is supposed to fly through. (The lines come into play again on a par 5, I think it was #14.) #13 was a fairly long par 3 with a drop of about a hundred feet to the green. #16 was a nice long dog leg left par 4, #17 a ~185 yard par-3 about 50 feet uphill.

Greens were in very nice shape and medium fast. Fairway grass was thin in many places, and the ground was wet.

Rains the day before meant cart path only here as the course apparently doesn’t drain well.

Speaking of cart paths, bring a kidney belt, and maybe a seat belt.

I’d give it 3 out of 5 stars, but for $17 it was a good deal.

As the course took me over an hour to get to, I doubt I’ll return.

Love the layout and the staff is very friendly. Well positioned sand traps and ponds. I use every club in the bag at chapel , plenty of variety on the holes. Definitely the best public course in the area. Cart paths is the only downside.

Can't find a harder 6056 yards from back tees.. course always in nice shape.. Greens are tough to hit and roll true..Love da Chapel

I have played this course many times. I really like the course however the carts and cart paths are terrible.

Owners Bill, Brad and Ryan Holloway are 3 of the coolest business owners that you will come across. Under their leadership, the entire staff treat customers like family. The course is a position golf course, which for my game, requires me to use just about every club in my bag during a round. The greens are beautifully kept and for a public course, the best around. Add to all this very reasonable prices for play and food/drink, you can't go wrong playing Chapel Hill.

Well maintained and manicured course. Every shot requires thought, not just grip and rip. Greens are difficult until you get to know them and where to hit approaches.

Always fun to play!

I love playing The Chapel! I love the lay-out. I stinks when its wet though. I hate cart path only but do understand. My only complaint is the rutty cart paths, although some have been patched, and the old golf carts. Mine stalled driving through puddles or went very slow. I switched at the turn but the 2nd one wasn't much better! I'll be Back!

I have been playing Chapel Hill since 2000. I still haven't seen them sink any kind of money into fixing immense course drainage issues, cart path treachery, golf cart maintenance or course updating. It's a shame because the course layout is decent. It is always my second to last choice for playing for the above reasons stated. If someone would just take some time and money for improving it would be a much more popular choice for locals and visitors.

Called Saturday to book tee-time for Sunday, was told $111 for threesome, got there to find out it was $126. Not a huge deal, but still set a bad first impression. Should have booked with GolfNow but I was in the car and called the course for availability. First time playing here, the course and the greens were in good condition, some challenging holes, fair amount of water/sand. Cath path could use work, felt like a wooden rollercoaster and took just under 5 hours to get in 18. I'd play again, but I do want to check out Galen Hall and a couple other local courses first.

Played a lot here over the years here because I loved the pace of play and people. Monday's round was so slow . . 1 or 2 groups held up everyone on the course and had to wait ever single shot. Hole 17 still 3 groups backed up. Disappointing

Chapel Hill is a decent course. The layout is nice and you will have to use judgement on what to use off the tee. A lot of the front nine has water hazards.

The things I didn't care for are you will have to watch for erratic shots from other players. I was almost hit twice while I was playing one hole. I didn't hear one warning call. Chapel Hill can't help this but I found it surprising. The cart paths need redone

I was the first time playing the course for my wife and I. it is in great condition considering all of the rain we have been getting. I definitely recommend it . A nice layout for the holes. The only thing that needs improvement is the cart paths. If you Have any open drinks in the cart, you will be wearing them.

I've played Chapel Hill a couple of times before and wasn't thrilled with the course maintenance, but thought I'd give it another try. Now, I realize it's very early in the season and courses are just beginning to officially open, but Chapel Hill is simply poorly maintained. Drainage is awful - the course always seems soggy. The cart paths are cart paths in name only. You do NOT want to drive on them unless you're trying to induce labor or knock fillings out of your teeth. The carts themselves are the worst I've ever seen. This is a year round issue, not an early season issue.

On the positive side the people are friendly, the layout is cool and challenging. Lots of different shots to take and really tests your course management skills as a golfer. And the prices are great. It's all trade offs.

If they can improve course maintenance I'd give it four stars.

Played with my buddy 65 degrees in February. Course was packed which we expected. Hole 17 was closed due to the previous rain. Pace of play wasn't bad for how packed it was. Very nice course and very nice people. I would definitely come back in the spring.

I played a while back. The course was just fine for all skill levels. It's a little far from my house, otherwise I would have been back. I just want to make a mention about any experiences with slow play no matter where the course. If the group in front has more than 1 empty hole in front of them the proper etiquette is they let you play on through, at your asking. Just ask. Give 'em a holler and a wave and wait for the go-ahead.
