Good Condition, Tough Greens

Course is in good shape. Pace of play is just a little slow, I wish walking here wasn't allowed during peak morning hours. Pins were in tough positions, often times on slopes, quite challenging.

Great Course

Course was in good shape. Recently rolled and sanded greens were not the best though. 5PM tee time for ~$30 cant beat it

Great conditions

This course notoriously does not drain well but if you play it on a dry week, it plays nice. The greens and overall course grass was in better shape than normal and the rates here are very acceptable. I think the concessions at the course are overpriced and usually don’t spend money there. Great range and putting green for practice.

Decent Track

$55 for play on memorial day is not bad at all. Overall, the layout of the course is great and the course is challenging. Fairways and greens were in great shape but teeboxes were bad and bunkers were miserable (we played them all as grounds under repair).

Overall, I will play this course again but I dont think I would be paying more than $55 for its current condition.

Great Course

Played out here til dark from 5 PM. It was a little slow and not much traffic. Greens are in good shape, fairways are growing back in.

Great course overall, lacking in practice facilities a bit

Great Value

Keith Hills is seemingly always in good shape. Prices are very fair although it is quite far from Raleigh. I do find the staff here not to be the most friendly. Not rude by any means but not really friendly. Greens were in great shape this past week as we start rolling into warmer weather.

Another Nice Round

Course has been in good condition through the winter months as we start getting into Spring conditions. I have enjoyed playing this course frequently but feel that the full price of $85-100 for this course is too steep. $60-75 feels appropriate here.

Not Bad!

First time playing and the course was fairly nice. Fairways are in shape, rough is a little challenging and long. The greens were a bit bumpy but nothing too bad. Overall we had a good time and I would return here and there, especially at lower rates. Compared to the area I’d say I’d feel good paying $40-45 for a round and would definitely be playing around the $35 mark

Great Course

Sometimes pace of play out here can back up a little. This time of year there are a ton of walkers out. Course was in great condition. We did find a good bit of un-repaired divots on the greens

Pace of play a problem

The past 3 times I have played here I have had 5+ hour rounds. This time the course was wet and cartpath only, but we still didnt tee off until 20 minutes after our tee time and played over 5 hours. We were still paying the full rate basically which was honestly unacceptable.
It is a shame because I like the layout of the course and there arent too many public options in the area. The course drains pretty poorly and will stay wet days after rain. Greens and fairways minus the water were still in pretty decent shape.

I think I am going to pass on playing here for a while because I just cant get over their tee time management. They need to spread these tee times out and stop being greedy with slamming the tee sheet

Poor Quality Today

To begin, the started let a group of 3 walkers go ahead of us because they were ready at the box at 2:15 when their tee time was 2:30 and ours 2:20. What is that? We had terrible pace of play, quit early after 12 as we were already over 3 hours 20 minutes. Whole round would've taken 5.5 hours likely.
Course was wet but had good drainage overall. Green cut extremely short to keep speed. Overall wasn't the most pleased but it was ok

Great Fazio Course

Me and a friend played at 7:30 am on a Sunday morning using a GolfNow Hot Deal. We were let off the 1st tee with just the two of us which was what we wanted. Pace of play was fantastic and we finished just at or under 3 hours. The course was in great condition, greens are a tad slow here compared to the area but certainly not due to poor green conditions, just the type of grass. I think UNC is fairly priced as you can play often on a hot deal using GolfNow. I personally wouldnt play often here at the full price of $75+. I think $50 is a fair price for the course.
Will continue playing here no doubt.

issue with other group

We played in just under 4.5 hours and had multiple issues with a group behind us yelling at us to pick up pace when we were waiting to hit because the group in front of us was in range. Started came out to tell us all to move faster, we teed off before 9AM, and moved with plenty of pace. Was just boggled at the issue. Wont play here again for a while. Course was in pretty good shape, no problems there.

Slow pace

Bunched up afternoon tee times took me from 12:40 until 5:30 to finish up while keeping up pace with a group ahead. Grounds we're a little wet a few days after rain but only paid $25 for the round. Can't be too disappointed. Still had a good time.

Great time, a little slow

There was a tournament ahead of us which the players were walking. Out round lasted 4.5 hours which is just a little slow. Weather was perfect and the course was in good condition. Challenging pin placements during the day. For $29 on a weekend with perfect weather, I do not have much to complain about.
I play here often and will continue to do so.

Nice round

Had some issues out here the previous week with pace of play but did not experience this issue this time around. It was quite cold out so that probably kept crowd to a minimum. Course is in great shape for winter. #6 always has drainage issues and water logged fairway though.

Pace of Play

I went out as a single around 1:30 hoping to get in as much as possible before dark (should be about 3.5 hours of play). Was instructed that they were running behind and busy. Got paired with another single, no problem for me. We finished the front 9 at 4:20. I didnt even want to head to the back 9 as we may have got 2 more holes in so i went back to the range for 30 minutes. Probably should have only paid for 9 holes but i didnt think it would take almost 3 hours to play 9.

Consistent issues with stacking tee sheet

Over all the courses in good condition however most of the time I play out here they tend to stack the tee sheet pretty thick. Greens recently aerated and rough is thick providing punishment for miss hits

Standard course. Challenging.

This course has a nice layout and is fairly undulated (hilly). This makes for tough ball positions above and below your feet often. For the couple of times I have played here, the clubhouse staff have been average at best, usually a little rude. Every time I come here with my friend we get paid with a group and most often they are fairly bad. My rounds here on the weekend average 5-5.5 hours which is too rough for my liking. The grass on the greens needed cut and everything was very slow. The course condition was fine aside from that. I like other courses in the area more than here and will keep my play here to a minimum.

Great course!

I like this course a lot in the area. The staff is friendly, it stays crowded enough to keep the tee sheets filled up but they have no problem with me playing with only 2 or 3 people. Greens and fairways have been in good shape the past few months and I am always finding a good deal on GolfNow. The layout is fun and there is nothing odd about this course. It plays fairly short to average. I would say its fairly average and I shoot very close to my average on this course. Will continue to play here.
