Editorial Review for UNC Finley Golf Course | Golf Course Chapel Hill Raleigh North Carolina – by Frank Puccio

In Short
In recent years, Finley has become a popular tract. The original course, designed by George Cobb, wasn't built to accommodate the nearly 50,000 rounds being played there annually. Thanks to Tom Fazio's redesign, holes 12 through 18 present some incredible challenges. The course includes ponds and lakes, as well as rolling mounds and strategically placed bunkers that make Finley not only look different, but play different.

User Reviews for UNC Finley Golf Course | Golf Course Chapel Hill Raleigh North Carolina

3 Star Rating: Average

07/25/2008 Posted by scout27

price is affordable, very good if you are a unc student or employee. the greens are not very good though. they are dry, bumpy, slow, and not well maintained. there are plenty of unfixed ballmarks, not to mention lots of aeration marks which will screw up the line of your putts.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I'm a senior and to play Finley, i pay $30 to walk, which is fantastic, and i wouldn't think of going anywhere else... The course is too fantastic for any words that i can come up with, impecable fairways, great - filled bunkers, tee boxes could use some work in areas, greens that are always well maintained, and the staff, and weather, are allways VERY friendly and will give you an experiance you will always remember. If you live in the triangle and haven't played Finley, you have NO idea what you're missing!!! COME PLAY UNC FINLEY!!!

Pros: fairways, greens, bunkers, staff, and just about everything else

Cons: SOME tee boxes could use better upkeep, but it doesn't matter all that much
