The Challenge Golf Club

green is little bit slower than I expected but pretty nice. other than that perpect

Having played a few other courses in the area in the $30-$40 range and been mildly disappointed, I was pleasantly surprised with The Challenge.

The course is in great condition, especially the greens roll very well. It's not the longest course but so much fun to play.

There's a bit of a learning curve the first time you play it (like me), but it just makes me want to go back.

The greens are beautiful and rolling true, while the fairways and roughs were in great shape. They even cleared some trees, making the views much more panoramic. I played here early spring and was disappointed with the condition of the course, but they are back in a big way. Much better than last summer, yes (when they had just replaced the greens).

The conditions of this course are the nicest of 10 I have played this Summer. The greens were simply amazing.

The course is in great shape. Greens are rolling true. Definitely worth he money.

Played this course in early spring and was disappointed. Now they have brought it back to a really premier course for the area! Great Job!

Nice course !

Great variety of holes , greens in great condition.

No driving range though

Ok. Today was a beautiful day. After a solid week of work, I just needed to play golf, but don't want to pay an arm or a leg on a weekend rate, especially not on a teacher's salary. Saw a great rate on Golfnow for the Challenge GC. After reading the most recent negative reviews, I almost just scrapped the plan of playing golf today. Glad I didn't!

Started at 12:02 finished at 4:09 in a three some. It could have been faster had we not run into groups of foursome the last three holes, but we didn't mind. Beautiful day! THE COURSE WAS IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE. THE GREENS WERE ROLLING FINE (MORE THAN FINE!). I don't know what the negativity was all about--greens, fairways, conditions etc. were better than expected. Kudos to the ground staff there.

I have played Eagles Ridge, Loonie Poole, UNC Finley, the Crossings, Bryan Park GC in August. I would go back to all those courses AND I would go back to the Challenge again if I have time to play again. If the greens were a major problem for previous reviewers, it is NOT anymore and the greens will get even better For those who remains skeptical, I hope you continue to stay away ( I am being sarcastic now), it just means I get to come back to the Challenge, have the course to myself, and play three and a half hour round on this challenging track that will continue to get better as the weather cools.

Good job to the staff at the Challenge for making the course beautiful again. I am a 12-13 handicapper. I was so surprised and inspired by the terrific condition of the course that I shot a 39 front nine with an eagle and a birdie in it. Should have broken 80 but didn't! Oh well. Will see you again.

I've read some negative reviews and was somewhat nervous about playing here. Grabbed a nice Hot Deal, froze a Powerade, splashed on the sunscreen and made the trip. Totally worth it! I've played here a few times in the last 10 years and have always enjoyed the layout. Conditions were not pristine but still very playable. Fairways were green and growing well and the ball sat up nicely. The greens were recently sanded but I did not notice many bad spots and they rolled true.

Don't hesitate to play here. It's all coming along nicely and I applaud their work.

this was my worst disapointing round of golf in recent years. I played this golf course a couple of months ago and the greens were not even puttable. they sais anybody around here with bermuda greens had the same problem. I play other golf courses in the area with bermuda that didnt have that problem so that was a excuse for nor covering them properly. I called one week before I booked this tee time to ask about the greens and they said they were great and have not had a complaint in 2 weeks. So I took their word for it. That was a lie.These greens are terrible. I cant imagine them being worth playing the rest of this year. If I just took a chance, shame on me. But being lied to shame on them

Fairways were in good shape for the most part. The greens went from really good to no green at all. The course looks to be suffering from winter kill and even though it is July, I doubt that it will recover this year.

The course is well laid out and has a lot of elevation changes. Nice variety of holes, both in layout and length. It is a strategic design and you will have to "golf your ball" to get around the course. It is not a grip and rip type course.

It's July and some of the greens are suffering, but that's to be expected in North Carolina at this time of the year.

Course was in good shape, except some greens. Rolled but some residual winter burn damage still healing. Staff is very nice.

Pace of play was slow. No rangers seen all day to manage slower groups, in this case one group in particular that slowed everybody and backed up the entire back nine.

have played here a couple of times, has 1 or 2 greens still recovering but overall great experience. Was paired with a extremely nice women and we enjoyed the round and each other's company

Second time playing this course in 3 months and conditions are much improved since May when the greens were really struggling after a hard winter. Putting surfaces are about 80% filled in and putts are rolling ok on most greens. Still one or two that have some bare spots. Really enjoy the layout and the challenge on this course. It has some unique holes which require good course management and some narrow fairways to up the difficulty level. Staff is friendly and with GolfNow deals it is a good value for the money. Drove from Durham to play and will definitely play here again.
