Great Experience!

I've played this course many times, and this may have been the best shape I've ever seen it in (which, for April, is pretty amazing). The greens were rolling fast and just perfect, consistent on every hole. The fairways were a bit long as they normally are, hopefully when summer rolls around, they mow them down a bit. The challenge on this course is the elevation and wind (if applicable). It's not a long course, and there is very little water. If they are able to keep the greens in this kind of shape, they will be packed here!

The pace for playing on a Sunday morning was fantastic. Played in a tick over 4 hours. As always, the staff is friendly, and the bar is fantastic with a nice outdoor deck to watch groups on 10 and 18. Fantastic beer selection. Will be back soon!

Look Elsewhere!!

I haven't played this course in years because the pace of play was so incredibly awful. I thought I'd give it a shot again, and I will never go back. When we got to the 1st tee box right on time for our tee time, we learned there were FIVE groups still waiting to tee off! There was no starter or rangers either, so it was a free for all. You have NO SHOT at playing a round under 6 hours at this track.

The course was in adequate shape for the time of year/weather, and there is a big driving range. Do yourself a favor though - if you make the mistake of playing this course, block your whole day off and don't plan on being to get into any sort of swing rhythm.

Hello, we are sorry to hear pace of play was slow during your round. We have increased our ranger presence on the course and are working on a pace of play program as well. We are seeing improvements and hope you will be back to give us another shot.

Great course for the money

Cary CC is an old-school, simple, short layout. As long as you know that going in, you won't have any issue. The course is fair throughout and rewards good shots. There were a few pin placements that were a bit ridiculous, but other than that, no complaints. For the price ($25 on a weekend), how can you go wrong?

Also, stop in the bar afterwards. It's really nice inside, and the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Although the weather wasn't conducive to sitting outside, they have a huge deck overlooking the 10th tee that looks nice as well. The course is worth a visit.

Lonnnnnng Round

Course was in pretty good shape. Greens are narrow and tough but for the most part, fair. Fairway bunkers could use some work around the lips.

Where this course lost my business was the pace and the failure of the starter and rangers. We played in a few minutes under 5 hours. This is simply unacceptable. We also started 20 minutes late because the starter was holding everyone up because one of his regular buddies was running late. Pace was in no way enforced, and the rangers drove by multiple times looking at 3 groups on a par 3 and not saying a word. I realize the golf industry is hurting - maybe this is why. People don't want 5 hour rounds. Though I enjoyed the course, the pace and ineptness of the rangers/starter will be the reason I don't return, nor will I recommend the course.
