UNC Finley Golf Course
About
UNC Finley Golf Course is one of the top 20 collegiate courses in the country. The club offers a well conditioned comprehensive facility with a driving range, putting green, and chipping. Tom Fazio designed this challenging layout that is diverse enough to appeal to players of all skill levels. He included his trademark false fronts and greenside bunkers. To keep the golf course approachable, there are several different ways to play the bunkers and there are numerous risk-reward opportunities. Seven sets of tees ranging from about 5,000 to 7,300 yards make the course even more versatile. The 15th through the 17th are a beautiful stretch of holes that provide a formidable test as well. The excellent conditions are another feature of the UNC Finley golf course that has made it popular.

Golfer Reviews
Great golf course
Fantastic layout, greens are well manicured and large and offer subtle breaks that make them challenging but fair. Can't wait to play it again!
Go Tar heels
Still early in the year with a few brown spots here and there however, the course is shaping up pretty good.
Definitely will be back to play this one. No comment on the food as I did not eat there
We will be happy to have you back as well!
Disappointed
Very disappointed in the overall appearance. Fairways seemed extremely dry

Solid day at Finley
Very friendly staff at Finley. Course was very wet after rain the night before and cart path only was in effect. This slowed us down a bit but the issue was all of the single players they had that should have been grouped together. We waved ahead 5 different singles on the front 9 alone. I've not seen anything like it before. Other than that we just had to wait a while on the Duke golf team as they were practicing and scouting the course. Overall, love the course and services provided. Just need to work on the groupings.
Glad you enjoyed your customer experience and come back again when the weather permits! Thanks for the feedback on grouping
Great as always
Thoroughly enjoyed played in earl spring conditions. Fun and enjoyable.
Happy to hear you enjoyed your round!
Great course to play at UNC
Played on a weekday morning. Pace of play was great. The course had recently aerated but it didn't affect putting that much- greens were still fast. Definitely some challenging holes but a good variety to challenge any skill level.
Glad you enjoyed the pace of play and that the aerification didnt affect your round!
Excellent venue
Finley is a fine course. Greens are great. Tough tee shots but fair. One of the nicer courses around.
Glad you enjoy the greens of the course. Hope to see you back soon!
Slow play but beautiful day
Early in the season so Bermuda dormant. Just had slower groups in front of us. Will return later in season. Only lost one ball.
Glad it was a beautiful day during your round but sorry for the group you played behind. We will be happy to have you back!
First time. Playing
First time playing got good price so went played with some friends nice layout , good pace of play and for this time year course was in good condition,
Glad you enjoyed your first round with us. We hope to see you back soon!
Great Course!
First time playing Finley, and very happy about it! As a Duke student, I normally play the WaDuke, but when I saw a deal for Finley I jumped on it. Although the course was completely brown, I attribute that to the late winter we had down here in Carolina and to no fault of the Finley staff. Even though everything was brown, you could still see the course has a great layout and great bones. I thought it was a great mix of challenging shots (on many holes, if your approach shot is on the wrong tier or, worse, misses the green entirely, forget about par) but also had foregiveability that the WaDuke lacks. Greens, though marked a bit, still rolled quick and true. Overall a really great course.
Thanks for giving us a try and glad to hear you enjoyed your overall experience
UNC Finley
Good course. Challenging but fair.
Winter conditions so it's a little wet.
Like it and will play again.
Glad you loved the challenge of the course. Come back when the weather conditions are better!
Good course
Good course but more expensive than similar courses in the area
Check online where we offer the best rates. Hope to see you back soon
Great course and conditions, even in mid November
This course is always in excellent shape. Fun course with some challenging shots but not too difficult. The greens were rolling fast and smooth even in mid November when we played. Fantastic practice facilities and the recently enlarged and remodeled facilities make it a top notch facility.
Slow Friday , pristine conditions
Had a great time at this beautiful course. Other than the fact that the group in front of us was playing like it was the final round of the masters everything went well. Turf conditions are always great. Hitting it on the fairway and green is a premium. It was a little wet and super windy which affected scores. Greens were rolling great, receptive but true and fast. If you can't make putts on perfect bentgrass in the fall then it's your putting, not the greens.
This course can be enjoyed
Enjoyed the course. Very good condition. Greens were receptive to the approach shot and still fairly quick. Course is player friendly with few steep up and down hills or severe side hills. No "gimmick" holes.
Staff very friendly and accomodating.
outstanding
great day great course. impeccabble condition. staff was very friendly. great layout
Awesome course, Ball eating Rough
Finley is a awesome course, great pace of play, great layoff, great condition! My only complaint was the Ball eating rough. OMG, don't dare hit into it or it is a immediate penalty. We had a hard time finding our ball when it went in the rough. But I could play this course everyday, just have to bring allot of balls cause i am not the straightest driver! SMILE
Great Course
The Course was in great condition, The Greens Putted Fast And True, and for the time of the Year It was In Good Shape. Enjoyed my Round, Was in town for a function so I had to finish in under 5 Hours. Tee Time 12:00 we finished in 4 hours 20 Minutes.
TRY THE SWEET POTATO FRIES, OUTSTANDING !!!
Great greens and good weather
The greens were in very good shape and rolled true. I started as a single but joined a threesome on the 5th hole. Played the round in 3 1/2h. For the money this is probably one of the best courses to play. I played for $25 and that was a great deal.
Thanks for the great review!
