Great place if you’re patient

Front 9 took 1.5 hours. Made the turn and there were 5 groups waiting on 10 tee. 3 groups in front of us called it quits and headed out but having driven 45 minutes to get to the course decided to stick around. 3.25 hours later we finally finished our round.

Pace of play

Rangers need to do a better job moving slow players, round took 5 1/2 hours due to a very slow foursome, they should have been removed from play ,

Great course for the price

Would probably be smart to spread out tee times a bit more. Greens were in the best shape I have see. Played more difficult with faster greens. Bunkers are inconsistent. Some have soft sand, some are hard pan. Overall, great course with cool layout at the price point. Could be a great course and demand greater cost with better staffing and management.

Good priced golf course it is.

I played at 4:00 pm and the fee was very affordable.
The condition of fairways and roughs are good.
But the green was kind of too soft as it has been raining.
Overall.. it was pretty fine except I lost one of my club.. wedge.. lol

Great Course.

Had a great time playing here. Beautiful course, friendly staff, and good food. I’m an out of towner and was grouped with some locals. Great group of guys, and very helpful telling me where to hit the ball for best results. Will definitely play here again next time I’m in Chapel Hill.

Good course

Hard to get a good read on the greens, tough day putting. Sand bunkers need work. They have very little sand in them and what sand is in there is mixed with rocks. Luckily I only found one. Fairways and tee boxes were in great shape.

For the price to play here, I would expect them to have updated golf carts. The ones they currently have are older and showing their age. Other than that, it was a great experience, will be back!
