Needs a lot of work.

Made an account just to review this course. Started out with 4 groups on the 1st tee as we were supposed to tee off. No marshall moving things along. Staff didn’t seem concerned. Singles, twosomes, and even fivesomes going off on a Saturday morning. Tee boxes were weed covered, hard, and almost grassless. Fairways, rough, and greens were not any better. Some greens had literal cracks in them. Giant cracks like they hadn’t been watered in months. If you want to spend $40, play a terribly kept course, almost get hit with a dozen balls, and wait 10 min between each shot on your way to a 5+ hour round, this course is for you. Zero stars.

Club House/Pro Shop & Course Maintenance

The ONLY rest room in the pro shop needs complete revamping. It smells in there and it’s so small and so tight and seems like a 19th century Rest room.

Needs more maintenance. Fairways are not very level, lots of ridges and rough to drive the cart over these bumps.

Also the fairways are not well mowed-hard to tell which way we’re going. There is no 1st cut and the rough. Seems like rough all the way through instead of the fairways for some of the holes.

The greatest thing is the staff. Everybody there is extremely friendly. The other good thing is you can get a Tee Time almost every day not just this year but for at least the past 6 Years that I have been going there.

Overall it’s an average course and not bad.

GOOD LUCK CHAPEL HILL!!!

Thanks for all you have done in the past.

Play factors

Seemed like many golfers did not know "golf ettique" riding into fairways delaying play and picking up our balls.

Poorly Maintained

With wise open fairways and little hazards to contend with, it is great for beginners. That being said, the course is in brutal condition. Tee boxes were 50-75% dead, huge spots of fairway was dead grass and even large spots on the greens. The only saving grace was 18 and a cart for 25 dollars. Both times I’ve played here the course was in bad shape, hoping it will be turned around

Great course with an awesome layout with some rolling hills. The front nine was kinda long in length and the back nine was seemed kinda short (except for the obscene 700+ yrd par 5 on 17).

The tee boxes were not great quality and some fairways were in bad shape. The course layout was great and overall a great value for $18!

Okay course

The course is not well maintained - beat up fairways and some greens are patchy too. Layouts are kind of strange, front nines are long whereas back nines are short, tugged with a extremely long par 5 17th hole, which is 700 yards. But considering the value, it’s an okay course.

Nice course

The course layout is very nice and the staff is great. With that said the course was late to open plus the course really needs some water. I will go back and for the price it is worth the trip

Nice course and well priced.

It overall was a nice course. I had a lot of nice valley and it had a good about of difficulty. A couple greens were rough but besides that the course was well taken care of. A little bit over booked but for a 1045 tee time on a saturday it was not bad.

Tough greens

the course is very nice, but those greens will punish you. Very firm, very fast, very undulating. Definitely not my best score card. Pace of play was very slow today because of the number of golfers, and no rangers. Still dealing with Corona precations
