Hi All,

So i'm heading down to Raleigh NC for business next week and was wondering if anyone had a must play course in that area (that rents out clubs as well). I'm excited as I have never played outside of NYS.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I'm not exactly well versed in Raleigh area courses - but -since nobody else has replied I figure a not too good answer is better than none at all.

I think the Duke University course is reputed to be outstanding. That's just a few miles from Raleigh.

And the UNC (Finley) course in Chapel Hill (Fazio design) is also reputed to be outstanding. Roughly 29 miles from Raleigh (at least it's reputed to be 29 miles from NCSU Bell Tower to UNC Bell Tower.)

I haven't played either course in several years, so I can't tell you for sure how good they are, but they are the only courses anywhere near Raleigh I have any degree of familiarity with.

And, of course, I have no idea in the world whether they have rental clubs. Maybe the respective websites (links above) give that info.

Mike Stranz's most excellent Tobacco Road is less than an hour south.

That's right, Pinehurst is less than two hours from Raleigh directly south, an easy one day excursion. For that matter, Myrtle Beach is 3.5 hours away. Take 40 east to Wilmington and drive down US 17 south to Brunswick County, NC and you have lots of courses like the big cats group in NC without even going into SC.

River Ridge, River Wood, Eagle Ridge are favorites of mine.  If it's after dark there is a fun Par 3 with 27holes in Apex (20 mins SW) called Knight's Play.

I put Adams and PING in my OGIO Recoil bag. I'm shooting for the low 90's by summer 13'

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
