Like this course but was disappointed in quality of greens. Front nine were not bad considering they aerated a week or so ago, but the back nine, the greens were horrible. Looked like they were diseased and had huge holes (not from aeration) all over the greens. They could have placed the pins away from some of the diseased areas on some of the greens but they didn’t. Go figure? Pace of play was great. Teed off at 10:30 and walked off course at 2:10. Mightbtry it again in a few months in the hopes they tend to the damaged greens or learn to place pins in better locations.

Great course away from Chapel Hill where I live. Expected less of a course than it was especially for the price. Short course with a great many unique hole layouts. Might be viewed as a lesser course by the long bombers, but for most amateurs especially seniors or beginners, I think it is fantastic. Really enjoyed it and will certainly return. Course was in great shape. Tee boxes and fairways were average viewing it is getting on into winter. A lot of leaves in roughs and away from fairways. Greens were great. A lot of breaks and fast, something I enjoy. Need to stay below the hole if possible. Never played here before so this was a challenge especially since there were many elevated greens. A few were hit with some sort of blight, but were kept well and decent to putt. All the rest were excellent. Not much in the way of clubhouse amenities if you are the type to sit around and hoist a few after the round and embellish your great shots.
Lakeshore Golf Course
Played On 08/23/2016Good course
Good course for beginners or Seniors. Rather short but has 4 or 5 challenging holes. Tight fairways and postage size greens. Front nine greens and tee boxes were a bit rough. Back nine much better. It appears to be a really old course but management seems to be trying to do their best to keep up . Saw a lot of maintenance workers throughout the day. Played in 3 hours.
Lonnie Poole Golf Course at North Carolina State University
Played On 07/21/2016Great place to play
Recently moved into the area from PA. Got a great deal on GolfNow and decided to try this course out even though 45 minutes away near Chapel Hill. Really great course a bit more difficult than other courses I have played so far. Need to play a few times to get the course knowledge to score better. Staff was really friendly and amenities top notch. Slow day at the course. Played with another golfer who was playing for first time so we struggled finding our way. A couple of hole locations could have cart path hole direction signs better marked. Biggest criticism would be the greens. Many ball marks near hole location indicating either they don't move the hole locations frequent enough or far enough away from previous locations. Greens are huge so this could easily be affected. Pace of play was great. We played in 3:50. Would play again, but only if I got a GolfNow deal like I did. Not worth full price listed. I guess it's location and frequency of play dictate their prices. A bit far for me to play regularly.
Burning Ridge Golf Course
Played On 8/12/2013Great course for a good price.
Visiting from PA and booked through GolfNow for the first time. Great service for a great price. Course met my expectations. Not extremely challenging. i am a senior player (66) and had a good time with a sub 90 round. Course was in good condition. Greens seemed a bit slow but overall a keeper if there weren't so many other courses to play and experience down here. Played in just under 4 hours with some locals who knew the course quite well.
