UNC Finley Golf Course

UNC Finley was one of the better courses I've played in the Triangle. The course was in great shape from tee boxes to greens. The greens lacked consistency, probably based on recent rainfall, but coupled with elevation and drainage, it was difficult to adjust to different green speeds.

Generally, the course was free of major water hazards though a few holes played along and over water or shrubbery. If you cleared the hazards, you have very large and well-maintained fairways to play from Be careful of the fairway bunkers, they're placed in the perfect spots to screw up a long drive.

Course in great shape and all staff encountered were extremely friendly from the pro shop to grill. Booked as single but matched up with 3 other golfers - 2 locals and another visitor who also contributed to the overall positive experience. This is a first class facility and one of the best university courses I have been fortunate to play among many. I plan on playing again when in the area. Thanks Finley for a great time and experience.

My first time playing UNC Finley. We enjoyed the day completely. Pace of play was perfect, no rushing or waiting. The course condition was perfect. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to play a high end course for a moderate fee.

We played last Thursday night. There were storms in the area, but not close. The ranger came out after three holes and said we could get a rain check for the round if we wanted to come in now. The weather wasn't bad at that moment so we finished the nine. At the turn the weather started going downhill and we decided to call it quits, we went in to talk to the attendant and asked about the possibility of a nine hole rain check.

His response was that we were already warned and if we wanted a rain check we should have come in. We told him we understood but the weather wasn't bad and we wanted to finish the nine. We weren't asking for a full 18 check just for the nine we didn't get to finish. He said we didn't even pay the full rate and that they "don't give warnings so we could keep playing as many as we felt like" I asked him what he meant by "paying the full rate" and he said we booked through Golf Now. I told him that's where their website took me to book it.

If that was truly their policy and the guy explained it in a non elitist, condescending manner I would have been OK with it. He talked to us like we were children, and then implied we were not as important since we booked through Golf Now.

Great course, but will not be back.

The course was in great condition, especially the greens.

This course is a pleasure to play. Great conditions and 14 unique holes that are fair and the right amount of challenging.

Superb condition. Challenging but fair. Some of best looking golf holes anywhere. Highly recommended

One of my favorite courses in the area. No tricks. Just good clean golf and great conditions.

If Finley was a couple of dollars cheaper, I would play it every time I go out ... despite the fact there are many courses closer to me. BUT it's worth the money and then some. Every hole is beautiful, well maintained and just a complete joy to play. The tees present good options to challenge yourself. This is a GREAT course!!

Wonderful course. Excellent conditions. Friendly and helpful staff. I love playing this course.

Finley is a great course to play. Course in in great conditions and the pace of play is good. Staff was very friendly

UNC Finley is a fantastic, fair, and well maintained golf course. The staff is friendly, the practice facility is top notch, and the clubhouse is exceptional. You can't go wrong in choosing to play a round at UNC Finley.

Overall a great experience. Only draw back was greens were slow.

This is one of the best courses in the area. When I can find a great deal to play, I never miss it!

The only 2 problems I personally didn't care for was the range. We had to hit off the mats and as I look out 40 yards I see a perfectly manicured grass driving range with no divots or anything and it looked like no one's ever hit any balls from the grass area of the driving range. I don't understand why they are not using the grass area. There's no excuse at all to be honest and I guess they are trying to save maintenance money. I can see hitting off the mats ounce in awhile but not on June 17th in the middle of the summer. Then there's a sign on the putting green saying to please limit your time on the putting green to 30 minutes! Never saw that ever on a golf course! Then I arrived an hour and a half to hit balls and the starter is pressing me to go out earlier which is cool but I'm 55 yrs old and I would like to hit a small bucket to warm up now. I had a great time though and I would highly recommend this course to anyone. Can we hit some range balls on the grassy area of the driving range instead of mats all the time? Totally unsat. You can tell they never use the grassed area and it's mats evrytime I play there! Don't know what the problem is when greens fees average 69.00 a round. A maintenance guy making 10 bucks an hour can move the ropes and fix a few divot holes I'm sure. Awesome course to play! I will come back to hit off the mats I'm sure to warm up.

The course will defeat you if you play from the wrong tees. Otherwise very enjoyable

Played 9 holes with my son on Father's Day. As usual, we had a great time and the course was in great condition. We always enjoy playing Finley.

nice course, very nice greens. great condition fun to play

I've played Finley about 15 times I will play it many more. It remains my favorite course in the Triangle. However, this round was unacceptably slow at 5hr 10min. The problem seemed to be two groups ahead and the rangers didn't do anything about it. Very disappointing.

Brought my 2 grandsons, 16 and 19, one on a golf scholarship at college and we enjoyed the course very much!
