Falls Village

Falls Village Golf Course is on Wake Forest Road between Durham and Wake Forest, northwest of Raleigh. The course used to be one of our favorite layouts in the Raleigh/Durham area, but it fell on hard times, went through bankruptcy and a new group purchased it and is trying to make a go of it. It's a Bill Daniel design, from the Blue tees it's 6,474 yards, 71.9/135, and cut literally through a forest. We really like the set up here because it presents a lot of good challenges, narrow landing zones, the rough is pretty thick, there's blind doglegs, tree lined fairways, water and sand, a tough course overall, not for the higher handicapper. The first time around it's tricky, because placement of the drives is so critical for the approach shots. Condition-wise, it was so-so the last time I was out, but an improvement over last year. Call before you head out.
