Love RGA

Greens were in good condition. Tee boxes could use a little work, but they weren’t terrible. Fun course as always.

Good Local Track. Perfect for a pre-work round

Played right away in the morning and the starter was able to send me off with an earlier group. Pace of play was fantastic. Course was in good shape. Had a good time and will be back.

Best Value in Raleigh

For the price, you can't beat it. The greens were very well maintained, and the course as a whole is pretty nice in relation to the price point. My only gripe is that the pace of play should be better. I've played here probably a half-dozen times, and pace of play has been an issue half of the time.

My “feel good” course

This is the Course You go Play, when you need to feel good about your game. It’s a relatively short course compared to other but it has a very nice layout with wide fairways and greens that are easy to roll up to, not too many obstacles. Overall a fun course to play. I found the greens and fairways in decent condition and certainly a good value.

Great staff: friendly, organized and knowledgeable

RGA is a great “home” course. The greens on the Stockholders (9) are looking good this season — the repair work is paying off.

Club staff are always friendly and easy to engage with to address special requests.

Fun place to play!

RGA offers everything you need to have fun on the golf course. Fairways and tee boxes are in great shape for the most part. Greens are in good condition and roll well. For a shorter course it can be challenging at times. How's the standard shortcomings (cart paths and rough areas) that of course without a high budget would have. Staff is always friendly and accommodating! For the money it's well worth it!
