sad to see this course in such poor shape

given where is course was 5-10 years ago.... this is sad to see. shame on owner(s) for allowing this course to get in such poor shape/condition. of the 70+ bunkers on this well designed course.... absolutly none are playable. the owners should get out of the golf business.... they have a duty to keep the couse in somewhat playable shape.... they've done none of that. add this course to others like olde liberty that could be nice with a little TLC... but none of that exist currently. falls village has officially entered the "dog track" conversation.
again shame on owner(s) for allowing this course to get to this point. i will not play again.... ever... and current owner(s) are to blame. you guys need to get out of the golf course owing business....

always fun

well maintained & always fun to see & play. have 7/8 holes on the course which would be great holes anywhere. love the 2 long par 3’s (240 yds) from back tees. green’s are always in great shape. well maintained bunkers with good amounts of sand…. a rarity these days. hidden gem….

temporary greens all around...

i had not been to chapel ridge in 3 years.... and always like the course... just a bit of a drive for me. anyway, sad to hear they were playing temporary greens all around. these are not "greens" ... just fairway with a pin in place. anyway, layout of course is very nice... figured it would be quick 18. new greens will be bermuda and are presently seeded and being watered... probably won't open until october. only disappointment is that all fairway bunkers are being ignored as well..... looks like they are doing next to nothing for weeds, maintaining bunkers, etc...... that is sad. i won't be back until well after new greens open up... "temporary greens"... shouldn't be an excuse to let the rest of the course go.

could be great....

the challenge could be a great course... i remember when it was... that was 5-7 years ago. while greens are in great shape.... the rest of the course is not. most of the fairways are dead and large sections of sod have been removed from the tees to start growing grass in other areas. i was last here 3 years ago and was disappointed in the condition then.... it's worse now and i doubt i'll be back.... ever. it's a shame... course is close, easy to access off of 40.... and, sadly, just falling apart.

oh, and by the way, it was great the last two years, you just happened to hit it first when real estate people had purchased it and didn't care (long gone) and now after the entire area was damaged with winter kill due to freezing in late March.

By August you will enjoy it again. They had really bad winter kill as many of the courses in central NC have had this year (even Rocky River in Charlotte has temp tees right now due to sprigging). It has grown back a lot (since you were there) with the excellent care given to it by the superintendent and his staff. And now that it's warm enough to plant bermuda they are sprigging the remaining areas. Will play to a reduced 66 par for July as a few holes had to be shortened to keep carts off the sprigging but they will be gradually opened back up as the bermuda takes hold. Superintendent is excellent and it will be it's old self soon.

new course that plays very well...

built within the last 5 years this course is in very good shape. pace of play is slow due to long grass and folks playing from tees they have no business playing at... nonetheless, a must play in the RDU area.
new clubhouse construction has limited the amount of parking available.
staff was great.
