UNC Finley Golf Course

First time playing Finley and I really enjoyed it and want to try again. Challenging layout with tee options for every level. Par 70 with only one par 5 on the front and 3 par 3's. Back 9 is normal 2, 5, 2 layout. Back 9 seem to be longer to me.

Staff was excellent and Bobby (starter) could not have been nicer.

Few greens had been damaged and were being patched but did not take away from the experience too much. rest of course in excellent shape. Greens were fast and hilly.

Look forward to playing there again.

Took a 330 tee time and really enjoyed getting back on Finley

Got in all 18 in plenty of daylight remaining

Fairways and greens in super shape

Even a rainy Memorial Day was not enough to have an impact on the firm and fast Finley GC. It’s a tough track , no doubt with some of the most daunting Par4’s imo. The course was in fantastic shape with friendly and helpful staff members like Max in the proshop and Zoe at the bar made for a smooth check in .

It’s an overall phenomenal facility and a ‘must play’ if you’re in the area.

It was in Raleigh for a few days on a golf trip. I like this course, but the remodeled greens are about a year old and maybe Bermuda grows later in the year, but they were in pretty bad shape. A lot of of greens were sandy and had patches and you could see on every green where previous holes were. Pains me to say this, as I am not a fan of Duke the sports team, but the Duke course was much nicer for a similar price. Pace of play was fairly slow.

Played here and definitely believe this is a great “treat yourself” course if you can’t get on at Lonnie or Trent Jones. While you won’t have the majestic layout of Poole or the higher difficulty of waduke, you’ll get a great taste of Carolina golf.

Davis Love III you tricky greens master! Fun course, mostly in great condition (minus a few of the greens that had some bad winter damage). Despite the 30 minute rain delay finish a good round in about 4 hrs. Would definitely play again when in the area. Course staff was extremely friendly and paired me up with a member to get me out early to try and beat the bad weather.

This was my husband and I, first time visiting the course, and the experience was amazing! The course was beautiful, staff was professional and courteous, and we got teamed up with other great players. This course is worth visiting and experiencing.

First time playing Finley since the remodel and was very disappointed. Still enjoy the layout but the greens and tee boxes were absolutely horrible, even had a mat on one of the par 3’s. Have played courses this year in much better shape for $100 less per player, so definitely the worst value I have ever experienced on a golf course.

Great layout, really nice associate after the round that was apologetic for the greens. They have really struggled through the re-do. I am guessing by mid June they will be better, just be prepared.

Course is in fantastic shape outside of 2 greens. Practice range is fantastic, chipping area is great, new 18 hole style (thistle dew) style putting green is awesome. New pro shop and grill are super modern and tons of great apparel.

5 hour round mid-day Saturday was the only “complaint”. Staff was super friendly!

Do not waste the amount of money they charge. Greens were horrible. Dead spots on most greens. Many of the tee boxes were dirt. Honestly I paid alot of money to play here with my sons and we were all so disappointed.

They really have some nerve chargimg what they do.

Never started in par 3 par 4 par 3. Didn’t feel right

Cart path only as UNC hosting big collegiate event in a few weeks. Necessary? One downside is few golfers brought divot mix with them to their balls.

Layout is a fun one. Conditions left something to be desired. Several tee boxes mostly divot mix. Greens had lots of sand and dust on them. Very good practice area; one of better ones out there. Four stars would be a reach on this date, if I am being fair.

Come Early to warm up on the range. Stay late to play 18 on the world class putting green. The course is challenging. I'm a 14 handicap and played well to shoot an 83. The layout inspires confidence and allows golfers of all levels to compete. I will definitely be back to play again soon.

We've played here 3 times and it seems like this course stays cart path only. It's not friendly to pace of play as the path is very far away from fairway. Taking 2-3 clubs to every shot because the distance changes by 10-25yds from what the cart says at path and where it reads from fairway w range finder is ridiculous. Will not play here again if carts are on path. The course is great otherwise and you will use most of your clubs in bag as you have to move the ball. Love the challenge and conditions.
