Just played Glen Dornoch (NC adjacent) blustery day to say the least. Lots of accuracy needed. Didnāt break out driver much unless I moved back to tips on some holes. Greens were super firm too, luckily bushnell gps does good job of giving front of green readings
Shout-out @Double_Bogey_Dave for the recommendation

What were your favorite and least favorite holes at Glen Dornoch?
Least: 16. Awkward length tee shot left 190 into the wind into a narrow green with crap on the right and tree hanging over green on the left.
Most: 3 - 285 yd par 4 . Reason:
Played as single and got around in 2:50. I am notoriously fast, most likely to my detriment. 15 gets honorable mention due the tree in middle of fairway but close enough to green that you can loft it over

Southwick was previously (back in the day) named Confederate Acres
16 is a very tough hole, one Iāve never done well on. Wish it was less penal. View is good though!
I like the opening stretch, 8 and 9, the middle part of the back, dogleg left par 5, then the finish of particularly coming down towards 16, and then 18. 18 is a good risk/reward finishing hole.
8 and 9 are awesome. They had me go off 10 today. Tried to use the wind to draw one into green on 9 but wind died down as I hit it and landed against the barrier wall.
18 I drove into the bunker at end of fairway. And had to wedge out. Oof
Here are some pics I took there a long time ago.
8th hole
9th green
16th hole
There uses to be a great 27 hole course across the street, Heather Glen. It is being/has been developed into housing. Wish it was still around
Hey guys, dropping in here with a request for information.
Long story short: I live just outside of Boston now, but have a really good job offer that would move me to the Triangle. Workplace would be in the Brier Creek area. All of my interviews have been via phone or Zoom, so I canāt visit the workplace or travel to the Triangle to look around. My avatar probably gives it away that Iām a Duke alum, but I graduated in 2001 and havenāt been back to the Triangle much since that time.
So Iām looking for the good, bad and ugly of living in the Triangle. FWIW, I am married with a 6 year old son, so schools are important to us. Also, coming from Boston, my idea of bad traffic is going to differ from the North Carolina idea of bad traffic. 
Happy to discuss via PM if people donāt want to derail the golf talk in here.

Cary, Northern Durham, Southern Durham (Jordan HS area), Chapel Hill, Holly Springs, Apex, and North Raleigh are your best bets.
If working in Brier Creek, North Raleigh may be the least attractive for commuting purposes, but itās not that bad compared to Boston.
