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.

Best conditions in Raleigh

Finley is equal to, if not in better shape that any course in Raleigh. From tee to green the course is perfect.
The range is pristine and tight. Staff is overly friendly, but who can complain about that?
The course is relatively challenging and plays around 6800 yards from the Gold tee boxes. It's a fair test of golf.
Recently saw in Golf or Golf Digest that it was in the Top 100 you can play. For the money, it's worth every penny.

Great place to play!

Course was in very good shape. Nice challenging layout but not so hard that it isn't enjoyable. One of the better courses in the area in my opinion.

Possibly the best manicured course I've ever played....anywhere.

From the very friendly and informative 'starter' to the very last hole of this course, we were raving about the place. Bentgrass greens were absolutely perfect. This is surprising, considering three other courses I know, in the Raleigh, NC area, have had a disastrous summer with their greens.

Tee boxes, fairways, bunkers and greens were in such fine shape there's nothing else left to judge. Their new clubhouse is well on its way to being completed.

Outstanding!!!

I hadn't played Finley since the remodel, in short ... Fazio did a "spectacular" job! A completely fair and playable layout for all. Course conditions were excellent! M-A-N-I-C-U-R-E-D! You won't find a public course like this in the triangle. A MUST PLAY!

Great course and great value.

Finley has been on of my favorite courses for a long time. With the new lower prices, it's the best value in the triangle. The course is in great shape and the people there really care that you have a good time.
