Wildwood Green Golf Course
Played On 04/24/2021Could use a bit of maintenance.
What’s with all the rocks, chunks of asphalt, broken tee’s on the tee boxes and dirt lines running down the fairways (are they ever going to fill those in?)? Where they replaced the cart paths there are so many rocks adjacent to the path that you could ruin a club. Pretty sloppy.
Practice areas are small and driving range is usually crowded in the afternoon, especially when the high school golf teams are practicing or have a match.
Pace of play can be slow, especially on weekends.
I like the layout. Greens are Champion Bermuda and can be fast and tricky.
Staff is usually helpful.
UNC Finley Golf Course
Played On 09/06/2018Love playing here
One of my favorite courses in the Triangle. How they manage to keep bentgrass greens healthy in the heat of summer is beyond me. Great layout and quite fair. Practice bunker could be better but they do have two practice putting greens Highly recommended.
Lake at Carolina Trace Country Club
Played On 04/16/2017Not a bad layout but...
Two of us played here for the first time. Course conditions were so-so, greens were a bit bumby. The driving range is super tiny: heck, I've seen backyards wider. Practice bunker is poor. What struck me were the lack of on-course amenities like signage to get you to next hole, drinking water and restrooms. Hard to take a leak when you're surrounded by houses. Don't think I'll be back to the Creek course but I would like to try the Lake course.
Chapel Hill Country Club
Played On 04/09/2017Could it be any slower?
Not sure what the problem was. I've played here before and love the layout. Our round took 5 hours, 10 minutes. Ranger came out several times but was clueless. Bunkers with little sand, lots of weeds growing in fairway and rough. Probably the worst condition I've ever seen this course in.

Played On 04/09/2017Could it be any slower?
Round took 5:10. Painful. Staff didn't care when I called in. Little sand in bunkers, greens were rough. I like the layout but a 5+ hour round is ridiculous. Not sure I
L ever be back.
Hawk's Landing Golf Club
Played On 09/27/2016Challenging!
Really liked the layout. Lots of water and bunkers. Bring plenty of balls! Greens were in great shape. Curious that the front nine had zoysia greens and back nine with hybrid Bermuda...made it interesting. Range balls included in the price. There's no drinking water on the course but the cart girl stops by frequently.
Longleaf Golf & Family Club
Played On 08/20/2016Could have been so much better...Terrible greens but nice course
We got on for $25 through Group Golfer. Not many people on the course and managed to start a bit earlier. We started practice putting on a hybrid Bermuda green but someone came by to tell us that wasn't the grass on the actual greens so switched to the bent grass greens. They were extremely slow and someone should have told us the actual course greens weren't nothing like the practice greens. Those greens ranged from hardly having any grass to being areated and having some grass. I think maybe a few greens were actually puttable and one green inexplicably was hybrid Bermuda. Huh? Counted four different kind of grasses on many of the greens: bent, Bermuda (weedy and whatever encroached from the fairway) and goosegrass. The goosgrass patches were so big that it was like putting on an obstacle course.
Fairways were in great shape but the bunkers had practically no sand and what was there was compacted. The rough is deep and very penalizing and if you hit your ball into it be sure to know where it is because it's easy to lose.
Be sure to visit the bar area, even if your not a drinker. The bar itself is old and wooden and the horse pictures on the wall illustrate Longleaf's history.
If I knew the greens were in better shape I would return. Otherwise, there are better choices in the Pinehurst area.

Played On 08/18/2016Aways a good time here
I've played here several times a year and have always enjoyed the challenge. Great layout. Practice facility not always open due to rain so check first.
Lonnie Poole Golf Course at North Carolina State University
Played On 08/18/2016Under construction??
A buddy set this up through GolfNow. They are under aerification recovery conditions but I don't think they should have charged $35! A bit steep for sketchy greens. Practice putting greens closed so guess how the greens will roll (not mentioned on GolfNow). The par 5 #3 was being worked on so it's now a par 3 and hole 18 is supposed to be a par4 but played nearly 500 yards!
They are proud of their course and it's reflected in their rates.
Falls Village Golf Course
Played On 04/21/2016Nice layout but poor conditions
Greens were aerated a few weeks before ( but I knew that). Worst part were the bunkers- no sand and several GUR. If the bunkers had San ( these never do) and if the greens rolled truer then this would be a nice course. I really like the layout.
Camelback Golf Club - Padre Course
Played On 02/09/2016More target golf with quick greens
Second time playing this course and you need to be aware of shot placement. Target golf for the most part. I thought the greens were quick and small. Actually liked it's sister course Ambiente better!
Ocotillo Golf Club - White/Gold
Played On 02/06/2016Great layout!
Really liked this course, other than pace of play. I think we did it in ~5 hrs?! I would definitely play it again...worth the money.
Indian Bayou Golf Club
Played On 09/10/2015Always fun
Played this course many years ago and I think it's in better shape now. Played Seminole and Choctaw. Fairways and greens were in great shape. Fantastic customer service. Cart girl came by several times ( I say this because we played a Sandestin course and barely saw a cart girl). If I lived here I would play here all the time.
Thank you so much for your great review! We hope to see you back for another round next time you are in the area!
Baytowne at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort
Played On 09/08/2015Nice course but greens could be better
Nice facilities. Greens were a bit rough with weeds growing on several of the greens. Sand in bunkers was lacking and several bunkers were like hitting off of bare dirt. Not sure I liked the back 9 as it seemed quite different from the front ( like playing a different course).
Hi Bill2582839,
Thank you for playing at Baytowne Golf Club at Sandestin. We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the course conditions. We hope you will be back to see us again soon.
Best Wishes,
Baytowne Golf Club at Sandestin Management
UNC Finley Golf Course
Played On 05/27/2015Love this course
Played here several times and always enjoyed it. They had punched the greens a week before but it didn't affect play. Course was in good condition despite some winter kill which has plagued area courses. Pace of play was good and only waited on last few holes.
Glad to hear you always enjoy your round with us!
Dunedin Golf Club
Played On 02/24/2015Nice Donald Ross track
First time playing and I was pleased. Nothing terribly difficult, except for typical Ross greens. I would play again and recommend.
Clearwater Country Club
Played On 02/23/2015Painfully slow
Guessing overbooking is standard because the day before when I was at the range i heard the club house guy say they were 1/2 hr behind, same thing he said the day I played. No ranger to speed things up. Be aware of errant shots (and there are plenty of them) as several holes are tightly packed next to each other. Greens are rather bland with all sloping downward back to front and without much character. I would not play this course again.
The Golf Club at Bluewater Bay
Played On 9/3/2013Poor rental sets and not what we were told over the phone.
The course is in decent shape and I'm sure if you brought your clubs it would be a pleasant experience but we were told the clubs were Taylormade. There were some of those but mostly off brands.
Hi "Bill2582839" We apologize about your recent experience at the course today. We had a few concerns on a few holes that have been taken care of. We hope that you will give us a try now that we are in better working condition. Thanks
