Off the top of my head and obviously this is subjective…..
Top tier courses:
Duke, Finley, Lonnie Poole, Heritage
Better than average:
Bryan Park, Grandover, Keith Hills, Mill Creek, Neuse, Pine Hollow, Preserve, River Ridge, Stoney Creek, Umstead Pines
Average:
Caswell Pines, Challenge, Chapel Ridge, Crossings, Eagles Ridge, Falls Village, Goodyear, Hillandale, Lochmere, Wildwood Green
Uncertain or Pending:
Hedingham, Lake Winds, Quaker Creek, Quail Ridge, Raleigh Golf Association, Reedy Creek, Riverwood, Southwick, The Valley and Twin Lakes are all places that I have played in the past but not in the recent past so I don’t really know how to rate them.
Never played:
Olde Liberty…
If I hector pick five of the above for value and conditions I would pick Bryan Park (either course), Mill Creek, Pine Hollow and Stoney Creek.
