Good course that needs a few things

With the weather having been not so favorable these past few months in NC it isn't fair to say a course is in less than perfect shape. A few things this course needs though - a layout of the holes on the scorecards, same thing at tee boxes and better markings for distances (especially distances to water hazards). I hit a perfect tee shot on a 417 yard hole only to find myself in a pond (#18). Same thing happened on a par 5 earlier in the round. Was playing with three seniors that were playing their tees and all three of them hit into hazard on 18 with 3 woods! Just think a simple "XXX Yards To Hazard" would help tremendously! Course has very tricky greens that I suspect get even tougher once the weather gets everything in full flight.

Greens were bumpy

This is a very good course, but the greens seemed slow and bumpy. They must have recently done some work on the greens as they were fairly bumpy and a little bit slower than the last time I played here. Still a very nice course and with the "Hot" rate it is tough to beat.

Excellent greens today

The greens were great. Fortunately I played pretty well and putted extremely well, but I really think the bent greens here are about some of the best in the area. Many courses have moved to the champion ultra dwarf bermuda due to the heat we experience here in NC and while I like those greens I still don't think they are as nice as great bent greens.

This course can be very challenging, so make sure you check your ego at the car before teeing off and play the right tees, otherwise it will be a long day.

Worth the drive!

After several years of hearing about this course I finally decided to give it a shot as it was the hot deal of the day on the golf now app. I live over an hour away, but all the recent reviews were excellent, so I gave it a shot. The course was in great shape and the layout is really interesting. The fairways are pretty wide, but the fact that there are elevation changes as well as doglegs makes it pretty challenging. After starting on the white tees I decided to move to the blues and it was a great challenge, but not impossible. If I have the chance to go again I would definitely check it out.

What a deal!

This was my second time playing this course. The first time I played was about 3 yrs ago and it was over 100 degrees out....funny thing was it was about 98 degrees yesterday. The course was in excellent shape and the greens were flawless. I actually ran into a guy twice that was checking the greens for ball marks that had not been fixed...haven't seen that in quite some time. Only two things to bring up are there are no course maps on the scorecard showing the layout of the hole and that the walk from the cart to the greens on every hole are pretty demanding. My father has bad knees and all that walking up and down some pretty steep hills could be an issue. Book your time under the hot deal on Golf Now app and experience the best deal around. Kudos to the staff at this place on a fabulous course.

Best value in Raleigh area!

I have played here several times as the staff is very friendly, the cost is reasonable and the course has great greens. Lots of choices when you go out to play, but many are over priced and lots have staff members that make you feel like they are doing you a favor taking your money. The staff here get to know you and yesterday after my father checked in I walked through the shop to get some drinks and the pro said hello using my first name. I have friends that like to go pay twice as much at some of the other courses around, but I always prefer to play at Pine Hollow. Hole 17 is one of the best around!
