UNC Finley Golf Course

Always heard good things about this course, but never had played it. The course was in great shape. The rough around the sand bunkers was super tall. Difficult to find ball, and harder to hit it once you found it. Challenging but fair. Would jump at the chance to play this course again.

Great course- greeter super friendly. Pace wonderful.

Only issue was the food- ordered 2 holes in advance- and when we got there (on hole 11 where the break occurs) we were told they did not have one of the orders (no tuna fish on the menu- why let us order it then?). Ordered a specialty grilled cheese sandwich- it came with a single slice of cheese on thin sliced bread barely toasted and without the specified description/additions- for $7. The kitchen and those taking orders need an overall- they need training and support- not occurring right now.

UNC Finley is one of my favorite courses in the area, but their greens are horrendous at the moment. If you pay the full rate, you will probably be disappointed over the next month or so, but afterwards I assume it will be back in tip-top shape.

Wow. What a great golf course. I've lived in the Triangle for 12 years and finally got a chance to head over to CH and play this track. I couldn't have been happier with the course conditions and setup. It's a tremendous layout and is all you want from the gold tees. Several of the bunkers are small, deep, and awkward. The rough was very penal and definitely made finding the fairway more important than most other courses around. The staff in the restaurant were very friendly and helpful. The starter was very quirky and long-winded for basically no reason.

Course was in fantastic shape. Only condition issue was with some greens that were very marked up. Golfers must do a better job of repairing their ball marks. Great pace of play on a Thursday afternoon, no one pushing us and room in front as well. The Golfnow deal made it very much worth the extra drive to play and enjoy the course.

For the golf course at UNC they turned to Tom Fazio that stands in contrast to Arnold Palmer's work down the way at NC State (Lonnie Poole). UNC Finley feels like a course in Florida transplanted to North Carolina.

Standard Fazio designs are present on pretty much every hole. No gimmicks. Forced carries over water or hazards. Shaved down chipping areas around the greens.

Excellent service, price and course was in great shape.

Beautiful course, immaculate upkeep! Grass is in tremendous condition!

If I was back in Wisconsin I'd have to pay at least $75-$100 to play this course. It is an outstanding price for an outstanding course. There isn't one even mildly negative comment to be made. Awesome practice range, chipping and putting green. Fairways, tee boxes and greens top notch. If you are in this area you simply have to play here if you love golf. Plays longer than scorecard indicates. Play the appropriate tees and enjoy. I am a 5 handicap and blue tees more than enough.

very challenging undualtion both on the fairway & green!
a lot of bare earth on the fairway is dismissive.

Fantastic layout. Conditions were spectacular, except for the long greens. They hadn't been cut to a tournament-like play due to the heat. Staff member recommended coming back in September for women's tournament. I can only imagine in those conditions, that it will be one of my top three courses ever played.
A MUST PLAY if you are in the Triangle area.

Challenging but fair layout with large greens. One of the nicest courses I have played in NC.

Beautiful course, my husband and I love playing here

the course was in wonderful shape other than the greens being punched recently, however the ball still rolled well. I love the layout of this course. very fair for all levels of play

Finley is the UNC golf course. Although the greens were recently aerated, they rolled well enough and presented little problem.

Staff is always wonderful throughout the round. Good burger at the pit stop, and on weekends, they have fresh grilled food.

I always love getting 40% off the regular rate through Golf Now! Thanks Golf Now!

Played UNC Finley for the very first time on Father's Day 2013. Happened to get paired up with J. Allred, former touring PGA pro who was practicing for the Monday qualifier/Rex Hospital Web.com event.

The course is challenging but fair with only a few blind tee shots. The greens are huge and the traps are well positioned. We played the Blue tees from over 6800 yards with a lot of the back 9 markers near the tips. I would certainly play the course again even with the very tough back to back tough Par 4's, Holes 15 & 16.

My round was made complete by an Eagle on Hole 17!!

The course has a nice, diverse layout with plenty of hazzards to keep it interesting. That said, there is enough room to miss if you're not hitting it straight. It seems to be a very well maintained course, as the greens were in very good condition and rolling consistently and the fairways well manicured. I will definitely be back.

The triangle needs more courses like this one. We are sorely lacking in quality courses.

Nice that this is a university golf team course, which gives it unique character. Greens in somewhat rough shape.

Everything about this course is top notch.
Greens, bunkers, and design make it a fair challenge.
Well designed for walking, and many do.
