Remembered playing here in 2005 when son Barry lived in Raleigh, NC so decided for a replay. Choose to walk for the senior price of $15 / 18holes as it’s very flat and 2,847/2,867yd / 65.8 / 108 for this Par 36/36 layout. Front 9 has tree lined fairways that were firm and rolled out to some hardpan rough areas. The #3 is a 475yd Par 5 that matches hole #6 478yd Par 5 being, stay between the trees for a easy score. The #8 is a 387yd Par 4 that has only yardage to protect its hcp 2 rating. Greens are firm and on the smaller/flat side, but putt true. Back 9 starts out with “Back to Back” 468/488yd Par 5’s and #11 dogleg will challenge all level of golfers with it’s hcp 1 ranking. The key to scoring on the tighter back is, Stay Straight. Dogleg’s and water add to the tuffness that the front 9 lacked that comes as a nice surprise. The #17 is a dogleg left 340yd, island green par 4 that plays harder than it’s hcp 7 ranking. The #18 dogleg 271yd Par 4 has water in play for first/second shots. So check yardages closely to the corner. Ended up shooting 40/41 w/34 putts as the flat stick wasn’t making the saves. Still a little rough on conditions but fun to play and worth the 2.5 hr stop.

Would travel: 10-20 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
