Played the Lake course, met very nice players - another single, and a father-son double). Was advised not to walk, but walking might have been strenuous but not prohibitive.
Still early in the season, tee boxes and fairways haven’t greened up yet. Pace of play was great. Parking lot about half full, but course was almost empty - only saw a couple behind us once. Played in under 4 hours. Only disappointment was the grill room - no real grill room on Sundays. I get that things are still opening up, but having more than cold dry pre-made sandwiches would have been nice. Round ended at 3:30ish and the grill and bar were closed - had to run home to watch the end of The Players. Overall, a very nice course and great day. Hope it’s all open on Sunday next time.

Winter conditions are a bit sloppy, quite muddy in spots. The course overall is in good shape. Walking is good, with only two or three distances btw holes long. Course winds through a mature single-fam home development. Good value.

I played the other three courses in this four-course group, leaving this one for last, which may not have been the most fair order for Olde Liberty. The other three - Eagle Ridge , Riverwood and Hedingham - are in better shape and are also very good tracks. Eagle Ridge is probably the best.
Olde Liberty has some great challenges, interesting doglegs, and picturesque Par 3s. It even has a few very pretty views. However, many of the holes have some large areas with bald spots and shabby patches. The greens were OK. It had rained a few times in the past week, and most cart paths had been washed over with dirt. In 18 holes I never saw any maintenance people, no cart refreshments or even a starter/ranger. The “clubhouse” is a converted double-wide. I asked for some ice from the person who checked me in, and he said they only give you a cart cooler (the kind that attaches to the cart) if you buy beer. There was a big pile of those coolers behind the grille counter.
Anyway, it’s a nice course with interesting holes and really deserves some more attention. I would play it again.

Played Deer Run-Riverview, nice tracks. Deer Run was tougher, lots of elevations and doglegs. Interesting holes, with some water. River view was also good, not quite as tricky. Was told there that Meadowlands is also good. Overall a great value.

It’s a ice track, with a few long Par 4’s and short Par 5’s. The weather here has been scorching, with occasional thunderstorms, and several greens are just dead. Some are merely hanging on. Otherwise the course is in decent shape. Starter was good, made pairs when he could. Play move along. It’s close to downtown Raleigh where I live. Overall pretty good. Will come back.

Fairways were interesting, not always the same look. Some water, some hills and elevations. Overall a fun round.

A very nice course, challenging layout and good conditions. Greens were relatively fast, but that’ll depend on the time of year and the heat. This is one of four sister courses around Raleigh, possibly the best one of the four. Hamburgers in the grille are very good.
