For anyone interested here is the Durham Amateur leaderboard after day 1. Donāt know if anyone has ever played in this but its held at Hillandale Golf Course right outside of downtown. Some very low numbers on the first day.

Such a classic, grew up playing middle school and a little bit of high school there, love the course and the staff. I had no clue D Ross designed the back 9 I think until about a month ago.

Yes its incredible what he does with that. And the plaque from where he had his holeout on 14 is unreal.

Anyone looking to play during the week anywhere between 6/29 and 7/2. Was thinking about a southern pines trip
I havenāt planned that far out yet, but for anyone else burning up some extra PTO like myself, I have a noon tee time 6/18 at Lonnie Poole. Iām going to brave the walk for $42 any other takers, let me know.
Hopefully Lonnie wonāt be too busy on a weekdayā¦ but Iām sure it will be.
Anyone play Oak Hollow lately? Howās it looking?
Headed to Atlantic Beach in a few weeks - Beaufort Club or Brandywine?
Our company gives us the week of the 4th off every year. Rarely use it to full advantage as wife doesnāt get that time off
@Fore20 this is where you play frequently I think?
i live in HP but dont play oak hollow very often TBH, havent played it in a couple months.
i was just talking to someone who had played it recently and they were disappointed in the current conditionsā¦i cant remember who was telling me this though tbh
Thanks good info. Took off work next Tuesday and looking for somewhere to play thatās not in the normal rotation
We get a day off for the fourth, this year thatās the 3rd since the 4th is Sat. But hot dang the week thatād be alright.
Regarding the SP trip, I go down to play that way all the time, well worth the hour drive.
I usually find a first thing in the AM tee time, I rarely start later than 8am to try and avoid 5 hour rounds. Some people donāt like waking up early but give me a holler sometime if that early fits your schedule.
i think oak hollow is solid overall, but theres just something about it that i dont love, probably just the fact its a pete dye
there are other course in the area i find far more enjoyable to play
greensboro national has been in fantastic shape recently, has a good layout and is gettable

Any Charlotte folks have membership at any of the semi-privates around here? I mostly play the publics (Harry Jones, Charles T. Myers, love Charlotte National), but Springfield is pretty near me and really nice. Wondering if those memberships end up making a lot of sense. Muuuch cheaper than any of the country clubs ($175/month), but Iām also guessing you canāt fly through a 3 hour round on a Saturday given all the normies like myself still fill up the tee sheet.
Iāve only played Oak Hollow out your way, but Iāll put a vote in for it. I think the front 9 along the lake is really fun.
Next time Iām out at the inlaws, weāre gonna have to hit up Jamestown or one of the others that you like.

I donāt live in CLT so disregard my opinion if not helpful. Iāve always been reluctant to join anywhere that isnāt truly private. Respectfully my $.02:
No matter how they sell it to you, that fees are this or that, if youāre competing against the public for tee times, your rounds will be longer and course overcrowded/conditions suffer accordingly.
I have considered some like Lonnie Poole here in Raleigh. I know that I spend more than some semi-private memberships per month on golf. I am ok with that because Iām not committed to a fixed fee and I get to control the variety of courses and times that I play.
