I’m in, either day works for me
Would be in, but going to be out of town for the long weekend
Carolina is great. Really good Donald Ross design that Kris Spence came in and restored in the late 2000’s. Took out a ton of trees and really opened it up.

I’d be in for Saturday for sure
Durham here. I play mostly at Occoneechee in Hillsborough. Also play a lot at Umstead Pines.
I’ll be coming through Nc on way to Myrtle in june
Anyone up for hosting a father and son on a Thursday?
Umstead is a really great course. Really enjoy it.

Yeah, it’s a great little track with a crew that keeps the greens in great shape.
I’m in Raleigh & have probably played 80% of the courses in the area since moving from GA a couple years ago, tons of great tracks w/in an hour radius. Just joined Dormie Club if anyone ever wants to tee it up, the guest rate is usually about half the rack rate.

I’d love to take you up on that at some point. Happy to reciprocate at TPC Piper Glen in Charlotte!
I’m down for a round at Dormie sometime.
Love Dormie
Just played Dormie this past weekend. It was drenched, but my buddy and I were the only one’s there and damn is it a cool place. You have got such a good setup being close to it and a member…enjoy it!
Hey folks, my dad and I will be heading down to the ACC Tournament in Charlotte from Chesapeake, VA next week and are looking for a nice spot to stop and play 18 along the way. We’ll basically take 58 west then 85 south all the way to Charlotte. Pinehurst/Tobacco Road area is a bit too far off our route. Suggestions welcome, price isn’t a factor.
Umstead Pines in Durham, played a few weeks back and it was in good shape and not CPO.
Occoneechee in Hillsborough, Mill Creek in Mebane, The Challenge in Graham are all good options before Greensboro.
Once you get to Greensboro your best options are Grandover (2 nice 18s) or Forest Oaks (former site of the GGO).

are you a member of a club? if you can have your pro reach out, there are 3 Donald Ross Courses in Charlotte. The two that stand out are Charlotte Country Club and Carolina Golf Club, and i think the best is CGC. I’ve never played either, but have seen both properties.

Carolina is great but Charlotte is definitely a step above.
@ELHOSEL My suggestions would be to check out some of the University Courses around the Triangle [Duke, NC State (Lonnie Poole), UNC (Finley)] or check out Forest Oaks or Grandover in Greensboro. Forest Oaks is only ~$40 and is a fantastic layout.
Not sure what type of shape any of the courses are going to be in since we’ve had so much damn rain, but those would be your best bets for a stop on the way down.

All look like great options. Appreciate it.
I’m not but we have a local hookup who could swing that for us.
Well it’s official. GF matched to UNC and we will be moving to Chapel Hill area in late June. Moving from Phoenix so pretty happy to not be giving up affordability, golf, or weather and back on the east coast closer to friends.
Can’t wait to play the courses in area.
