UNC Finley Golf Course

Had an absolute blast at UNC-Finley, and was able to find a great deal on golfnow.com which made it even better. Great weather, great course conditions, friendly staff and a nice new clubhouse that they finally finished...overall, had a blast and give the course 2 thumbs up. Highly recommended!

Best public course in Durham/Chapel Hill area. Pace of play generally good during the week when I tend to play there. Twosome played in 3hr 10min on 4/9/13, waited on only shot.
Recently punched and hasn't fully greened up yet. Greens good overall. Tough course, plenty from the Blue tees (6200ish) for most players.

I like this course and how it plays. Great design. Not just a grip it & rip it course. requires the use of a lot of clubs and good shot selection.

Course is well designed with challenge and comfortable play throughout. I look forward to seeing it full beauty when the season turns and all the grass is green and lush. Even at the state of transition it was in, the course was a pleasure to play.

Course was in great shape after recent wet weather. Keeping carts off the course was good for the course but made for a little slower play. Beautiful day to be outside though so it didn't detract from the experience.

Finley is a great Fazio design that you couldn't ask more in a golf course. Walking friendly, tee boxes for all levels, and a great new clubhouse. Please keep in mind that I played in February for my just maintained mark in course conditioning. I've been lucky enough to play some of the best courses in the country ( both private and public) and this ranks up there with the best of them. I will say that the only thing that could be better is the menu in the clubhouse, but I think that will turn around in time.

First time at Finley. Excellent Winter conditions. Wide fairways and enormous greens, not particularly difficult course, but a fun layout with enough bunkers around the green to keep you honest on approach shots.

The course is not difficult to play in blue or white tee.
However, the course is well organized and well maintained everytime. The green is also always stable.
Whenever I play at this course, I feel happy.

I always enjoy playing Finley as it is beautiful, challenging but fair without a bunch of tricks and gimmicks, and most always in great shape. Even in winter, the fairways and greens are in terrific condition.

In my opinion, Finley is the best public course in Chapel Hill and the surrounding area, if you can get a cheap price on GolfNow.com. The course conditions on April 14, 2013, were just okay. Maybe I'm spoiled because I've seen Finley in much better shape. The recently aerified greens may have had something to do with that. Still, even Finley's aerified greens are better than alot of other nearby courses everyday greens. This course is challenging but not too much so that it's not fun. There is a great mix of short and long par 4s and 5s. The scenery is also amazing and tranquil. The recently renovated proshop is looks awesome and the newly added grill is a BIG upgrade. Also, Finley has the best driving range, chipping green, and putting greens around.

This is the first time playing UNC Finley and I would definitely come back now that I know the course layout. Some real challenging holes, but a fair layout for the middle handicap golfer.

Very well maintained, not too difficult on 1st 9, but interesting. Requires your attention and better play on the back 9. Good mix of lengths. great use of the terrain.

I live in the Southern Pines / Pinehurst area. so am used to great courses. The Finley greens rank up there with the best I' 've played anywhere. The dormant fairways and rough were also well groomed. The entire facility is first rate. Looking forward to playing there again.

I was visiting from Illinois, and played this course for the first time since the 1999 re-design by Tom Fazio. It is now an amazing course. All you can handle at 7,350 yds from the tips, but playable from the front tees for the good-old boys with whom I was paired. The greens were fast, pristine and rolled very true. It's a beautiful course. No houses intrude. Has some wild areas and wildlife. Not difficult to walk the course, with the tees near the greens, and only a few moderate elevation changes. The price is very reasonable, too. If you are in the area, this should be at the top of the list.

If you ever attended the UNC coaches golf school in the 90s and haven't returned to the facility since, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the complete redesign of the course and add ons, including a beautiful new clubhouse. Nice work UNC and Mr. Fazio. Very impressive all around!

It was a warm Saturday in November, so a lot of people were out golfing. Otherwise, we had a great time.

Greens were fast but true.
The food staff were very helpful (Thanks Blake and Jeanine!!!).

We will golf there again!!!

This course looks easy at first, but green is difficult. It seems it is maintained very carefully, compared other courses which have many fallen leaves on green. The staff is very friendly. I really like this course.

overall a good quality golf course. The price is a little steep in my opinion. Fun and challenging layout

i will be back soon to play again even though i live 60 miles away.

A beautiful course. Fairways and greens are in excellent condition.
