Greens healing - weekends overpriced for conditions

Greens are healing from March aeration - several were quite bumpy.

Doesn't look like they're even trying to restore grass on tees. Many tees are almost completely bare.

Multiple signs of general neglect - sides of tee boxes unmowed, worn/faded flags.

Weekend rates are way high in light of conditions.
A decent value if you can find a deal at $30 or less. Avoid at published wekend rates until conditions improve

Beautiful day, beautiful course

First time here, played on a $39.00 online voucher. Caught a rare dry, comfortable day for this time of year.

At $39 I'd give up every other course within 45 minutes of home. It's a really beautiful course in outstanding condition, especially for mid-summer in the Raleigh area. A great mix of holes - not a boring hole in the bunch.

Pro shop staff was friendly and helpful. Range was very functional, though the balls were a bit worn. No distance markers on the range or distance board on the tee, but that's not a big deal.

Only two negatives about the day:
1 - Pace of play was very slow. The one marshall we encountered on #12 tee told us pto expect slow play, but didn't act like it was within his scope to do anything about it. Total time was 4:45.
2 - Food in the turn shack is ridiculously overpriced. $3 for a Clif bar? $6 for a beer? Chapel Hill isn't Hilton Head.
