Early Sunday at Crossings

Overall, the course is pretty good. It would be nice if the people playing it were familiar with how to repair a ball-mark on a green. The greens were a bit beat-up.

Cleaning up some of the rough, weeded areas would help speed up play as well.

Another Great Round at the Poole

Booked a final day of the 3-day weekend round at my favorite Raleigh area golf course. Played with 2 great friends and we had the chance to play with one of the course volunteers. That made for a more interesting day, as we heard some nice insights on Lonnie Poole management.

Truly top-notch golf venue. A must-play if you're visiting the area.

Good Course

Played Sunday Morning. Excellent day for golf. Over cast and cool. Very few golfers on the course.

Overall, the course is a very good layout. The greens were in very good shape. The rest of the course could use some work. For $80, things could be a bit nicer. Tee boxes and fairways could use some attention.

Also, the restaurant being closed on Sunday is a bit odd. One would think on the weekends they would be fully operational.

My group felt our experience on the Lakes course was better.

Another Good Return to Qaker Creek

I enjoy returning to Quaker Creek. It's a good place to work on your game. I would not call it a high-challenging course. It's just enough to help you improve what your doing wrong. And you cannot beat the value.

Played The Neuse today. I've been looking to get out here for some time now.

The course delivered on all expectations. An excellent test of golfing ability rolled into a fair layout.

Another Excellent Day at River Ridge

I returned for another round at one of my favorite go-to courses near my house. River Ridge is a great layout offering challenges for all players. Everyone I take there enjoys the course.

I'll be back ...

Great Course. Exceeded Expectations

I played here after work, with a colleague. Golf Now helped me find a venue.

We played late, knowing finishing would be a challenge. Played 17 of the 18 holes. Greens were still sanded, recovering from aeration. Didn't effect the putting too much. Made the approach shots nice and soft ...

Overall, great layout. I will return.

Great Day at Finley

This was my first post-Covid19 round at Finley. The staff managed things very well, as I would have expected.

There was a good amount of rain the night before, so carts were on the path only.

Greens were still recovering from aeration, but they putted fairly well.

I'll be back ...

Good Memorial Day Start

Played the Challenge this past Memorial Day, with a 3 great golf associates. We had a great round. Good weather.

Overall, the course is in good shape -a little dry, but good.

Greens played very well.

We visit the Challenge regularly and will continue to do so.
