Always a great place and value

Played with my son and course was in excellent conditions. The greens were rolling fast and true. Fairways, tee boxes and bunkers were all in very good condition.

Pace of play was good for being so crowded. Overall great course for the value and lots of friendly staff and people. Always worth the trip !

Slow greens

Maybe it was the recent rain but the greens were very slow.

No rakes by the bunkers

Our 3 some was behind a 4 some. They were all walking. So the pace of play was not ideal

Played here many times

Weather was perfect. Course was in good shape in spite of lack of rain. The lack of rain made the fairways firm and the ball would run out quite a bit. Aeration was done roughly 2 weeks prior and you could see signs of this on the greens. Another week or so they should be near perfect.

Start another Season

Got a nice deal on Golf Now for this round. Greens had been aerated last week, so they were bumpy and sandy, difficult to putt, but it is that time of year. Foursome ahead of us just reported in at the last second, and after chit chat finally hit away. We pretty much waited on every shot. Got tiring after a while. I was a nice day, so we got to enjoy that.

Very good track!

The east course is challenging for the average golfer. Course was in excellent shape even with the relatively recent aeration. Oddly not a single rake on a course with a ton of sand. I’m sure there is a reason for that. Good value.

Nice staff, painful round

Stuck behind an etiquette-less K-pop 4-ball. Took 4.5 hours to walk. Loud and rude - did not fix ball marks, did not let faster groups play thru, slow as molasses in Antarctica. Lousy golfers to boot - were lasering pitch shots from right in front of the green. Never again...

The west course had an outing scheduled and that seemed cause the east side to be backed up. Pace of play was a bit challenging.

Top Notch East Course

Having played this course many times since it opened in the 90's, and also having moved to Raleigh, NC and experienced entirely different course layouts, turf and fast greens, I was pleasantly surprised at many of the improvements and course conditions.

Golf was great. Staff was great. We finished at 6 pm and the kitchen was closed. Seen a great menu. Would have been nice to have it open until the golfers finish
