The 18-hole layout, designed by Clay Stroud, opened in 1952. Bermudagrass covers the greens and fairways. The front nine has narrow fairways, so accuracy counts from the beginning. No. 7 is a 515-yard par 5 with an extremely narrow fairway for your tee shot. It opens a bit, but the green is small.
Bunkers surround the front of the green.
Amenities include practice greens, a driving range, pro shop, locker room, bar, grill and club rentals. Walking is allowed. Tee times may be reserved three days in advance. It's not exceptionally long and, therefore, is often preferred by some of us who need all the help we can get to score well. This course wanders among residential areas and over lagoons near the Neuse River.
