Raleigh is a great market for golf and a very unique since 3 of the top 5 public golf courses in the area are located on college campuses. If you happen to be a student in the Raleigh/Durham area, you are very lucky to have great public golf courses and facilities located right on campus. No matter where you live in the city, there are good options in all directions for golfers looking to play at great courses. Below is a list of the best public golf courses in Raleigh. To be considered for the list, courses need to be at most 45 minutes from city center since that is our barometer on how far someone would drive on a normal weekend day to play a round of golf.
