Worth a look

Nothing spectacular but for the money it was worth playing. You can probably find nicer courses in the area but will pay significantly more for them. The location was great and service was excellent.

Disappointing

Very disappointed about the condition of the course. Front side greens were in poor shape. Number 9 green should be condemned; it looked like a dry lake bed. Tee boxes were bad as well. I think I saw 3 water coolers, 2 ball washers, and maybe 2 garbage cans on the entire course. I know they have a new pro here now so hopefully he can turn things around. I have also heard they are redoing the cart paths sometime this year. The sooner the better but that money might be better spent getting the course playable.

Must play!

Always a treat playing here. We got on late in the afternoon and was not able to play all 18 holes but I would go back anytime. Excellent experience. Not for the faint of heart! This course can (and will) eat your lunch!

Good value for the money

We always enjoy playing at Bull Creek. The course was in decent shape for being this early in the season. Pace of play was good. Staff is always very friendly. The only complaint we had was the food and beverages in the clubhouse were well past their expiration dates.

Nice course!

A little bit of a drive from where I live in Raleigh, but well worth it. Heard some good things about this course. Booked it through GolfNow for $16 but after playing it I would have paid a lot more. Very well maintained and a great layout. My only complaint was the pace of play was a little slow, but you have to expect that on a nice course on a holiday afternoon (Labor Day). Highly recommend you give this track a try in the future.

Great if the price is right

Let me start out by saying that this is one of my favorite places to play in the area, so take this criticism for what it is worth. One of the reasons I like playing here is because it is within walking distance from my house. Here is the bad: This course gets a lot of play. It is a public course that doesn't require tee times, so you get a lot of people who go here knowing that they will get out. There are also a lot of people who play here who don't necessarily understand golf ettiquette. Because of this, the greens can be a little rough from unrepaired ball marks, and the bunkers aren't always raked. I don't think it is worth the price if you don't use Groupon or Golf Now or another discounted program. $45 dollars?! It's not on par (no pun intended) with The Neuse or UNC Finley, or any other top name in the area. It is worth the $24 I paid through Golf Now. The only other negative is the counter help (Bill) could use some tips on how to provide better customer service. Despite the fact that there is a lot of play, the course is in very good condition.

Never disappointed

I have had the pleasure of playing the Neuse several times and have never been disappointed! Always in excellent condition. Pretty challenging golf course. Play it if you get the opportunity. There are two negatives I will put here - the first is that they charged my 12 year old nephew $12 to simply ride in the cart with his dad (my playing partner), the second is the prices in the snack bar are outrageous! $16 for a sandwich, bag of chips and a soda? Ridiculous.

Greens needed attention.

This is the third or fourth time I have played Reedy Creek. I have always been impressed with it's condition, however this last visit on Sunday, August 11th was a little disappointing. It appeared that they had a tournament the day before and the greens were in terrible shape. The cups looked like they had not been changed in several days. It was apparent that they had not been rolled either. I will return to Reedy Creek in the future because for the right deal it is a very nice course. Unfortunately for me and the rest of my foursome we picked a bad day to go.
