The course is amazing but hard as heck. If you are a beginner golf I would not suggest playing Lonnie Poole. It can play extremely long and there are tons of hazards. The bunkers are nearly impossible to get out of and the greens are challenging. It is obvious that NC State set this course up to be a collegiate course. I think the women's regionals are at this course in the near future.

Unless you are a single digit handicapped you probably will not enjoy this course. I would suggest trying some of the other courses in Raleigh to tighten up your game before heading over to Lonnie Poole. The scenery is amazing as you can see downtown from the back 9 but it remains to be challenging through all 18 holes.
