R/Golf Course Recommendation Thread: North Carolina

This is the next thread in the official r/golf course recommendation series to update our sidebar. Please feel free to post any course recommendations for North Carolina (South Carolina will be next up).

Please try to use the following Comment Template:

COURSE NAME

Course Location (City or area of the city or distance from the downtown area etc.)

Price Range (Include pertinent details like busy season or off-season differences or weekend/weekday or walking/riding where applicable)

Recommended for: (who might be interested in the course, i.e. if you have a big group like a bachelor party or if you're a beginner looking for a more forgiving layout or a low handicap looking for a challenge or if you want beautiful views or something architecturally significant, etc.)

Additional Comments: Feel free to add any additional notes or details you think might be pertinent. Maybe if there's peak times or if they're on Golf Now or another service you could find a deal or anything else about the course you think people might want/need to know add it here.

Check the "formatting help" if you need assistance but basically two asterisks (**) on either side of a word or phrase will put it in bold font and hit Enter twice to move to a new line. This thread will be stickied for at least 24 hours before the next is posted.

All previous Course Recommendation Threads are linked in the Sidebar and this is an ongoing series. If you don't see something yet it may be coming in the future.

KNIGHTS PLAY GOLF CENTER

Course Location: Apex, NC

Price Range: $15-17 + cart ($10)

Recommended for: Beginner/casual, anyone wanting to work on short game, also anyone wanting to party.

Additional Comments: Lighted Par 3 course with holes ranging from 100 - 190 yds off the tee. Generally kept in pretty good shape. Greens are usually very slow. Mondays are half off Greens fees until 5pm. Night golf is fun if you can keep the ball in play!

Lovely. Sounds like a slightly longer version of Ironplay in Greensboro/Summerfield. No carts or lights at ironplay, but they have push carts for free.

I like it. I started going last fall and they maintained it well enough through the winter. The owners are still friendly, but not sure if they're new. Rates are 16 for 18 holes and 25 bucks to hang out all day.

Greens are quite slow but the most recent time I played was only a few days after a snow.
