Lonnie Poole Golf Course at North Carolina State University
Played On 05/25/2020Good course, could be great with better pacing
I love this course, I really do. I'm a long driver with a draw, and so many holes on this course play to my strengths, and I've played it probably 20+ times. However, the pace of play is usually atrocious. I have had numerous 5.5-6 hour rounds out here that are just a slog to get through. Definitely a lot of younger kids playing in the twilight times that don't understand ready golf (got stuck behind a 4some that would all watch each other hit without walking to their balls etc), and just general slow play from a lot of people. Greens are usually a battlefield full of unfixed ball marks which can be quite irritating for the price you pay.
If LP can work on their pacing, enforce pace of play much more strictly, and push the "Ready golf" mentality on those packed full days, this course could really turn in to some of the best value for your money in the area. I would come play twilight rounds all the dang time if I knew I could get 18 holes in on a 430 tee time. Please improve the pace of play!
