About Lonnie Poole Golf Course

Lonnie Poole Golf Course is the premier university-owned public golf facility in North Carolina, designed by the renowned Arnold Palmer Design Company and opened in 2009 on the campus of North Carolina State University in Raleigh. The course is named in honor of prominent NC State alumnus and philanthropist Lonnie Poole Jr., whose gift made the construction possible. Set amid the natural landscape of the university's main campus, the course plays through wooded terrain with significant elevation changes, strategically placed water hazards, and the firm, fast conditions expected of a Palmer Design facility. Lonnie Poole has quickly established itself as one of the Triangle's most respected public courses, regularly appearing on regional and national best-of lists. The course serves NC State's golf program, university community, and the broader Raleigh public, offering a premium experience at reasonable public rates.
