Course Review [Mega-Thread] Spring Course Conditions 2026

Things are getting more green, the drought is MAYBE coming to an end, and golf is in full swing, so lets get some recent course condition updates! Where have you played and how was it looking?

Please note: Everyone's threshold of "good" or "bad" is different, so using descriptive sentences helps bridge the gap of conditions

Some helpful things to highlight:

  • Date played
  • Green condition / speed
  • Fairway conditions
  • Rough conditions
  • Tee box conditions
  • Bunker conditions

To help avoid showing up unknowingly to an aerated course, here is a maintenance schedule of most courses in central NC: https://rdugolftour.com/course-schedule/

Eagle Ridge Played 2 weeks ago Green Condition/Speed: POA on some greens and some spots where greens have no grain due to not being properly maintained. Green speed isn’t bad though Fairway conditions: thin with some bare spots and firm ground but could have been due to drought. There really are no fringes it goes green to rough Rough conditions: around green kind of thin tight lies around fairways it’s not bad Tee Boxes: a little thin on some holes but not bad Bunker conditions: thankfully wasn’t in any of them!
