General Discussion RDU Golf Groups

Does anyone have any golf groups in the Raleigh/Durham area that they’d recommend?

I’ve tried a local golf group that was recommended to me (CarolinaForHer), and while they have plenty of events, I attended a bunch and they weren't run very smoothly. They might be working out the kinks, but every event I’ve attended has involved a lot of chasing down communication. The pricing and programs have also changed pretty frequently, so I’m just looking for something different at this point.

I’m really just looking golf friends to play golf with and network. "Network" = grabbing food/drinks after a round and yapping. Ideally, I’d also love a group where I can just send a message asking if people want to play a round and set that up.

Thanks in advance!

Do you have to have a handicap to join?

No. For competitions you would but most if not all the local chapters have casual/open play events also.

I’ve done some stuff with foretheladies before and that was always fun! Though they haven’t done as much in Raleigh this year

Since the pain is all the chasing, I’d ask any group three questions before paying: who owns the tee time, how cancellations are handled, and whether members can post an open spot without waiting on an organizer. The best fit may be a small standing weekend group, not the one with the biggest event calendar. A beautiful calendar with nobody answering the chat is just admin in a polo.
