Raleigh Golf Association

The course was in good shape a couple years ago but it has been going downhill. The greens are diseased with ball marks, fairways are good but the rough is riddled with dirt patches with rocks

Great course with some very nice scenery, fun layout. Not the longest holes, and some downhill which make some par 4’s drivable, and some great chances for eagle. Keeping the ball in the middle is important as it’s easy to lose a ball once you stray too far from the fairway. Will definitely play again.

Only issues observed (mostly opinion based): fairways could be a nicer kept as the grass can get a little long in some places of the fairway. Not a huge distinct difference between rough and fairway in some places. Greens had been aerated I assume to be a month ago now. Ball still had great roll on the greens and seemed to be healing well. I’m sure in another two weeks they will be in top shape for this course.

Very slow pace. No ranger in site all round, though the group in front was playing some best ball game and driving the length of the hole and back several times. Incredibly frustrating and slow.

I've played at RGA multiple times over the past year. Despite it being a shorter course, the layout is top notch in my opinion, and it really makes you earn every stroke.

The main issue has been and still is the course conditions. The greens are riddled with dead spots, bumps, lumps, weeds, and more. Multiple putts literally bounced like little chip shots after making contact with the ball. The fairways also need a lot of work as they also have lots of dead spots, weeds, and uneven growth that often resemble the rough more than a proper fairway.

Hopefully, now that we are coming out of the winter, the conditions can show more improvement, because the course really does have a lot to offer.

Friendly- ushered to members 9 - which was better condition than public 9 we finished on.
Greens appear to have fungus. Players have quit repairing ball marks too.

Great staff, great location, terrible greens and fairways. Good place for beginners, or if you’re looking for cheap golf. IMO, that’s all this course would be good for.

Last few rounds played have been very slow paced. Some holes running on a 2 or 3 foursome backup. Cart keeps reminding you that you are behind pace but it never addressed. One of the few course I have see that allows walkers during the heavy parts of the morning / early afternoon.

Tee boxes need A LOT of attention...!!!.

Overall though I do enjoy playing rounds at RGA!

This is a well-maintained forgiving track that has been enjoyed by Raleigh golfers since 1929. Will upgraded course maintenance, new gps-equipped carts, and full use of three 9’s. Staff friendliness, well stocked grille/snack bar, and comfortable places to 19th hole inside and out. Only lacking a driving range, this has been my go-to course and I highly recommend it.
