UNC Finley Golf Course

Played the course several times before and like the layout and greens. Conditions were wet and therefore "cart path only" which made club selection difficult but understand due to conditions.

Whenever we plan a Pinehurst golf trip we always play a course near Raleigh before heading for the airport. Since we had already played Duke and Lonnie Poole, Finley was the obvious choice for this year's trip. Layout-wise we really enjoyed the course, the use of water and bunkers made for a challenging day on the course but not so much that we wanted to throw our clubs in the water. The greens were quick and ran true which is all you can ask for. the only drawback was we were caught behind two ridiculously slow groups that forced us to skip two holes to get by them and finish the round. S on w that we have finished the Raleigh college course trifecta we can move on to other parts of the country. Lastly, the staff at UNC was spectacular from the starter to the restaurant folks, everyone was really top notch.

This was our first time to the course and for the most part we loved it. Nice layout, great conditions, great practice facility and clubhouse. We were warned that it was soggy in places and it certainly was but it was hard to tell if it was from recent rain or drainage problems. We'll definitely play it again. It's also a little odd to make the turn after 11 holes instead of nine. My one hangup is that it's a bit overpriced. I guess that's to keep the Duke and NC State riffraff out. But next time we have a coupon, and a free weekday, and it hasn't rained in a while, we'll be back.

This is the first time I’ve given this course 3 stars.

Greens are slow and bumpy, and have been the past few times Ive played here. The weather has been perfect for bent grass greens, so not sure why they’ve been subpar.

Some spots in the fairway are thinning already but the course is in good shape otherwise.pace of play normally good, but not this time. Couple of older guys in front of us that refused to let us play through. We ended up having to skip a hole. Now, I know there was a ranger on duty, as well as a starter, so why was he not doing his job? Poor performance.

The course was in great condition. Interesting, challenging holes but not at all unfair. The greens were rolling true and smooth. Staff was very attentive and courteous.

One of my favorite courses in the Triangle. How they manage to keep bentgrass greens healthy in the heat of summer is beyond me. Great layout and quite fair. Practice bunker could be better but they do have two practice putting greens Highly recommended.

Finley is a very nice course. The bent grass greens are a rarity in this area with a great feel and true roll. The course was very wet from rain over the past couple of weeks but otherwise in very good condition. The pace of play was slow due to carts on path but otherwise no issues.

Played the week after Florence visit. Cart path only which was appropriate. Bent grass greens were incredibly slow.....maybe an 8-9 on the stimp.

Great layout, they are supposed to speed up the greens when the night temps. cool.

Good play on GN, wouldn't pay rack rate.

We started by hitting some balls on the range and the range is perfect!! Great grass plenty of targets.

The course starts out mellow and eases you in to probably the most fun course I’ve ever played. There is water there is plenty of sand. The course was in great shape especially the tees and fairways. The greens were pretty soft and beat up a bit but they still rolled well. I will be back every year for the rest of my life.

Fairways were in great shape and generous. It helps if you play with a member. Tee boxes were in very good shape. Greens in very good shape, very large, smoothe and true. If you are in the area play Finley.

You wont be disappointed. A fun course to play. Can't wait to get back again.

The course was in great shape. The greens had some ball marks but other then that it was an amazing round and well worth the money!!! I will be back again.

Nice layout but greens were in poor shape and extremely slow.. expect much more for $88. Also ranger told us to speed up on 15 which was no big deal, but came back on 16 to tell us again! Really?1 hole and another warning? Good way to ruin a round and lose a customer. I expect much better, especially for that kind of money.
