Course was in great condition. Had a great day. Will come back again.
Great spot
Just a great experience overall. The putting and short game area is prestige the range has plenty of space.
Only bad thing is that they are still working on their food and beverage space. So make sure you bring your own drinks and snacks.
Love the new layout
A little weird starting off on a par 3 but I kind of like it after playing here a couple times. New greens are awesome? Very fun and challenging layout!
Logan - First Time
Very nice course, redesigned so GPS did not work on the course. They need to get this updated.
No grill/bar area at time I played.
Wanted to like it but couldn't
First time playing Finley since the remodel and I really, really wanted to like it but just couldn't get behind some of the changes. Starting with a par 3 feels odd and having 3 out of the first 6 holes as par 3 really takes any kind of thr natural flow put of the course. Multiple tee boxes are stacked right next to greens making for very cramped feel. The 6th green is a stones throw away from the par 5 8th green making for an unsettling feeling while around the green on the 6th. If someone pushes their approach into 8, it could lead to a serious problem for anyone on the 6th green. I also think the course would greatly benefit from flipping the nines. Some of the new green designs are a bit silly with huge mounds in the center but they are in great shape. With all that being said, it's still a fun course in pretty good condition considering time of year and weather. The staff is great as always and the practice facilities are top notch. I really wish I could get behind the redesign more but sadly I just can't.
Solid redesign
The course reopened after an extensive redesign last fall (I never played it before). The course is a nice variety of holes with the front 9 having three par 3’s and one par 5, and the back having a more traditional two 3’s and two 5’s. The green complex’s are the main defense for the course as there’s a lot of movement on the greens. The course will only continue to get better as the greens settle and receive shots better. Overall a very enjoyable course to play.
Bermuda Greens
Let's start off with the best....the new Bermuda greens are great! The redesign has some interesting contours on the greens. Sand in the traps is very nice. As others have said, it's funky starting off with a par 3 (I think they should flip the 9's it would flow better). I hope this won't be the case for long but there are no yardage markers anywhere on the course....tee box, sprinkler heads, cart paths. If you don't have a Scope you have an issue.
Overall, a good course, needs some summer heat to kick in the Bermuda in the fairways. Pricey greens fees....unless you luck into a Hot Deal. I'll probably walk it next time, which is very doable.
We appreciate your detailed feedback and will take into consideration your observations about yardage markers and the flow of the course. Thank you for recognizing the improvements, and we look forward to your next visit when you walk the course.
Need a marshal
Course in excellent condition. Beautiful day, so very crowded. As a result, it would have helped to marshal the Course for pace of play.
We apologize for the crowding and appreciate your suggestion for marshaling the course. Thank you for your review.
Not Ready
They say it is a soft rollout but not explained anywhere on the website what that means. That means NO food, NO drinks, NO water, NOTHING...the Turn is NOT open, there is no on course CART service, That means no water or ice in the golf cart...NO amenities. Wait 6 months or a year, then maybe the experience will be worth the price.
We apologize for any confusion around our soft rollout and apologize for the lessened amenities you experienced. Your valuable feedback helps us greatly, and we will strive to improve these aspects.
Has potential, but course was way too wet
They apparently improved drainage with the recent redesign, but that absolutely did not seem like it was the case when we played. 95% of the course was water logged. Everywhere you stepped, water would seep through the ground around your feet. There is immense potential with the redesign and I will likely give the course another shot in the summer, but was a bit disappointed in the condition.
Changes
Having played this course many times before it was redesigned, I was interested to see how it changed. Playing par 34 on the front is strange and starting on a par 3 is stranger. I wasn't a fan of that. Still not sure why they felt the need to flip the front and back because they changed nothing on what has been the front nine so could have still started there and then not had to start on a par 3. While I'm not disappointed to see the old hopes 10-11 go away, I can't say I'm a big fan of the new holes, which basically amounted to shortening a par 5 to make a par 4 and adding a short par 4 and another par 3. I expected something better for all the time they took to do this.
We appreciate your detailed feedback regarding the recent redesign of our golf course. We are sorry to hear that the changes did not meet your expectations, and we will take your comments into consideration for future improvements. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us.
First time playing after remodel
This was my favorite course in the area prior to remodeling. Course layout is still great. However, it had rained quite a bit a day before play, and the course was sopping wet. We were standing in water on most t boxes. The real issue was the group in front of us that were extremely slow. There was never a Marshall that came by to help speed things along. Ended up being a plus 5 hour round.
Even with a hot deal price, this one cost too much for what we got.
On the plus side, the staff was exceptional and the new layout is great.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the wet conditions and slow play during your round. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you enjoyed the course layout and staff service. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Disappointing re-design
New front 9 has three par 3s and one par 5. It feels very crowded. Really disappointing what they did to this course. I know that UNC needed the space for short game area to recruit, but this really cost the course. It’s a fine course, but they are trying to charge as if it was a premier course in the area, it is not.
We apologize that you were disappointed with the changes made to the front 9. Thank you for providing your feedback, we appreciate it.
Love Finley
The course design is excellent and the staff are fantastic. Can’t wait to go back.
Highly recommend.

Great Course, Even Better Hot Deal
Great course before renovations, even better afterwards. The greens and green side bunkers were manicured and beautiful but would punish you if you let them!
Thank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you enjoyed our course, both before and after the renovations. We take pride in maintaining manicured greens and beautiful green side bunkers to provide a challenging and rewarding golfing experience. Thank you for your support!
UNC Finley - Better than Before!
My first time playing the course since their renovation in 2023. Course has a sand hill feel and is great value for the cost, especially playing it with a hot deal. It’s not peak season yet but the bunkers were manicured and the greens were rolling like glass. They added a massive putting green course, which was great while waiting to tee off.
I can’t speak to the driving range or the grill as both were closed the day I went. I can’t wait to play again. I highly recommend it.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our golf course. We appreciate your positive feedback on the course's renovations and the great value it offers. We apologize for the driving range and grill being closed on the day of your visit and we hope to have them open for your next round. We look forward to welcoming you back soon and thank you again for your recommendation.
We appreciate your feedback and are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your time on the revamped course. Thank you for recognizing our efforts and dedication towards enhancing our facilities for a better golfing experience.
