Pine Hollow (SE Raleigh): Kind of poor mans course but it's kept pretty nice and the greens are lightning fast. Price is good.

River Ridge (near Knightdale): Nice course. Winds through a neighborhood. Tough but very well kept. Mid price.

Heritage in Wake Forest: Another neighborhood course but pretty nice. Can get expensive.

There are many others but those are the ones I've had experience with.

How far is The Neuse Golf Club from Raliegh? That couse stands out as a really nice course that I played once when I lived in Greenville.

The Wake Forrest Golf Club is okay. The first hole is a monster Par 5....711 yards....and uphill at that.

The Pit in Pinehurst/Southern Pines is also a nice course, and really challenging. There's also Pine Needles in Southern Pines, which was on the top 100 public course list.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      First round at Quail Ridge: 47 + 47 = 94 *Note: It was 25+ mph winds with gust in the 35+ mph. It was also around 58 degrees. I felt like I was out in Oregon. The greens were very firm.  Driver was decent. It didn't cause me an issues.  Irons were the biggest issue. Just low point control was lacking. Mostly on the chunky side. Also, my irons were routinely 20-30 yards shorter than normal. Even on holes with a cross wind, the ball was just dying. We played an extra 9 holes after the first 18, and the wind died down by then. I stepped into a 9 iron, and it came up 15 yards short. I have no clue what is going on. I should not be hitting 9 irons 140 yards when I am hitting my driver 300 to 310 yards.  Warmup didn't give me much confidence. I just kept shanking every other iron shot. I didn't shank an iron during the round. I just felt all out of sorts today. Coordinate felt off.  yea, I have no idea if I am purposely slowing down my swing to feel my downswing piece. Again, I hit a decent 9 iron and lost 15 yards of carry. I hope this is just an off day.

      Day 565 - 2026-04-19 Wanted to get home to do some spring cleaning type stuff, so I practiced for about seven or eight minutes and got my butt home. Just backswing stuff, mostly, with freezers and a little downswing feel. Liking the new big mirror I have.
