UNC Finley Golf Course

We've played here 3 times and it seems like this course stays cart path only. It's not friendly to pace of play as the path is very far away from fairway. Taking 2-3 clubs to every shot because the distance changes by 10-25yds from what the cart says at path and where it reads from fairway w range finder is ridiculous. Will not play here again if carts are on path. The course is great otherwise and you will use most of your clubs in bag as you have to move the ball. Love the challenge and conditions.

Tough course, with challenging layout throughout. A little repairs getting done but all worth it. We’ll be back.

Not a big fan of the funky changes that Davis Love III made to give golf team more land. It was a much better layout before. But I guess he did the best he could with what he had. It is not worth the money they’re asking.

The change that was made seemed self serving and doesn’t reflect the previous standards the course layout had previously. I’m not a fan of the design. Over priced now and not worth the money.

UNC Finley is a challenging layout without being penal. It’s walkable with the holes being close to one another. With six sets of tees, there is a length that suits each golfer. The staff is friendly and the practice areas have been upgraded.

Was visiting the area for the holidays and decided to take a spin on the Finley course. As a New Yorker, dormant grass is unfamiliar. However, the greens were phenomenal! I played as a single and was paired with 3 members who were very kind and helpful. I hope to return to the course in the summer!

It was a wet, gloomy day but course was still in good shape. Was my first time playing since the redesign. Not sure the redesign was really an improvement for anyone other than the college golfers or serious practice folks. The new "practice holes" looked nice but creating those meant "squeezing in 2 new holes on the other side which were not really great. But even having said that...I will go back and also would still recommend it to a friend.

Cart path only again as the course does not drain well. I like this course except for #6 except that is growing on me. Next time its cart path I will walk. Played a midday deal tee time and they let me tee off early, the other two did not show up. I called when it backed up by ten and they said it was fine to repeat the front 9 instead, so completed 18 in well under 4 hours. #6 tee still needs steps and there is a cart GPS dead spot on #6.
Overall a great deal for a hot deal time.

I expected more from this course given the high green fees and recent updates. The golf course ranger was literally on the greens at one point on the back 9 watching my group hit from the steep bunker. I've never experienced this much micro management at a golf course. The pace was extremely slow due to overbooking most likely... It took over 5+ hours to finish.

Reduce your prices and get better scheduling and management.

I would not recommend, and that's coming from an alumna.

The new version of Findley is a great course except the par 3 6th hole. It is really strange and shoehorned in, and does not feel like a natural part of the course. The new 2-4 are fine, in fact I really like #4.
The tee box on hole 6 needs steps near the white tees - due to the slippery conditions I had what could have been a really bad fall.
I only play this course when there is a cheap deal as it is now too costly. The practice tee system has stopped me using it even though it is very close - I go to Hillandale instead.
