UNC Finley Golf Course
Played On 05/26/2021Greens aeration ...
Although they had an "aeration warning" posted, I called to inquire on the shape of the greens. I was told this was 2 weeks old and about to expire. The greens were in decent shape.
They were not. Putting was very bad.
Riverwood Golf Club - Deer Run/Riverview Course
Played On 05/23/2019Haven't been there for several years .. challenging but fun
Haven't been to Chapel Ridge for several years. Course was in good shape. Challenging round of golf.
Tons of "visual traps" ... were you think things are going to get in your way (sand trap/rocks/etc), but they are really your targets). Many greens have sand traps in front of the flags. Required a degree of discipline to not let it get into your head.
Thank you for the great feedback! We love hearing from you and are glad you had a good experience. We would love the opportunity to bump those 4 stars to 5. We hope you will come back soon so we can WOW you on your next visit. Until then, take care!

The Golf Club at Chapel Ridge
Played On 08/26/2017Nice course ... greens need work.
Very nice course ... but the greens, especially on the front nine, need work. Major Poa infestation.
Nice layout and fairways were in good shape.
Kettle Moraine Golf Club
Played On 08/17/2017Lushness of this midwest course is always a delight.
We are visiting family in Wisconsin. We are from NC. Usually try to play Kettle Moraine every visit in the summer. The lushness of this midwest course is a great change of pace from the (now) hot and dry courses back home. The layout does a great job of utilizing the local topography and creates an interesting and challenging course. The "rural" setting of this course is also a delight ... very different from the "subdivision" courses back home.
Lochmere Golf Club
Played On 02/07/2017First Visit ... Average course
First visit to Lochmere. Had been cautioned over the years that this could be a very damp course. We had a week of dry weather, so the course was ok.
Could see from the layout that wet weather could be a real problem.
Also, the greens were "interesting" ... dark army green dormant bermuda ... never have seen that before. Pretty fast. Normal winter condition. Other than that, you sorta get what you pay for ... convenient to Cary but marginal course layout/condition.
The Neuse Golf Club
Played On 06/02/2016Back to the Nuesse ....
Haven't played here in a couple of years. Took my wife to a "nice course" .... it was in great shape. However, she wasn't having a good day and the challenges on this course may have been a bit too much. Having said that, I really like the Nuesse. And the course was in great shape. Wonderful afternoon of golf.
Creek at Carolina Trace Country Club
Played On 05/25/2016First Visit to the Creek Course ... Nice layout
My wife and I grabbed a golfnow hot deal for Carolina Trace Creek course. We were the only people we saw until we got to 17. (There was a women's US Open qualifier on the lake course.)
I was pleased. Some greens had issues with Poa (have seen a lot worse) and some of the fairway grass needed some attention. Overall, the course was in good shape. The fairways are narrow with a lot of elevation changes ... suprising for this part of NC.
Very nice clubhouse at the end of the round.
Mill Creek Golf Club
Played On 05/28/2015old favorite course is a mess ... massive winter kill
This course has been one of our fave's. Haven't played it for a while.
Massive winter kill. Several greens were a mess. #11 fairway is essentially gone.
Wait a couple of months. Don't waste your money.
A real shame ... great course when in good shape.
Linville Falls Golf Club
Played On 05/23/2015High Expectations ... very poor course. And grumpy management.
Stopped to Play Linnville Falls on the way to a mountain vacation.
Had very high expectations. Super disappointed.
Massive winter kill ... course was in terrible shape. What a shame too. The location of this course could make this course a real jewel. Maybe they could buy a bag of fertilizer or two?
Other reviews have talked about the recent management change and the current managers issues with golfers using GolfNow for booking. The two-some in front of us and then my wife and I both got the lecture on why we should NOT be using GolfNow to book our tee times .... i.e. none of the revenue goes to the course directly. So I guess he wants us to spend more money so he will get the $$$'s?
Have used GolfNow extensively. I have never have had this experience before.
Don't think we will be going back.
Also, would describe pro shop's amenities as "barren" .... minimal food and drinks.
Again, a shame. The location of this course is fantastic.
Novel thought , the golf course might want the revenue for the golf ?? Buy a bag of fertilizer or two,this from a guy who spends $20 to play golf !!! Ever here of bermuda grass being dormant ?? Amazing how one guy paying $20 can try and hurt your business!! Who would want this guy as a customer ?? Not me !!
UNC Finley Golf Course
Played On 05/07/2015Haven't played in two years .. .forgot how great a course this was.
Haven't played Finley in a couple of years. Forgot what a great course this is. Need to come back more often.
Happy to hear we reminded you of how great our course is! We hope you don't wait another two years to come back!
The Reserve at Orange Lake Resort
Played On 12/17/2014Always enjoy the Reserve course
Have played this course several time over the last few years while staying at Orange Lake Resort. Very nice course. Found it in great shape this year.
Keith Hills Golf Club - White Course
Played On 6/10/2013note ... black course is closed for renovation .. great course!
we played orange / white. golf now bills it as orange / black
(white is a dan maples course .. part of second 18. the green course is permanently closed. black open in fall.)
delightful day in buies creek!!!! great course. first time we have played and very pleasant surprise. in spite of the drive, we will be back. can't wait to play the black (supposedly the most challenging.)
course was in great shape and a challenging day of golf ... typical ellis maples golf on orange.)
don't let the white fool you. first three holds are very tough. I should have given them more respect. would play white again too. more of an open midwestern feel.
great day/value.
The Emerald Golf Club
Played On 4/24/2013Very nice course .... enjoyable round
Very nice course .... enjoyable round. Played with my wife. Moderately challenging and very pretty layout. Back nine a little short.
Would play again.
Legends Walk at Orange Lake Resort
Played On 3/11/2013Nice par three ...
this is a nice par three ... only nine holes. Only complaint is that by the time you are warmed up you are done. However, nice distraction from all the Disney chaos and Orange Lake Resort happenings. At $9, this is a deal.
Thank you for leaving us a review. We are sorry to hear your experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you will give us another try in the future. Thank you for choosing UNC Finley Golf Course.
