Raleigh Golf Association is a 27-hole golf facility on Tryon Road in Raleigh, North Carolina, established in 1929 and regarded by the club as one of the state's oldest public golf courses. Eighteen holes are available to the public, while a separate nine-hole Stockholders' Course is primarily reserved for stockholders, members and organized events. McConnell Golf assumed operational management in 2016.
A long-term agreement announced in 2025 brought a $3.5 million redevelopment led by architect Kris Spence, including a full course redesign, new greens and irrigation and a planned 60-bay lighted driving range and teaching center. The club stated that on-course renovation was scheduled for completion on August 29, 2026, with the driving range targeted for October. Historical secondary sources credit George Cobb and David Postlethwait with earlier design work; Postlethwait is specifically associated with a 1998 redesign.
The course is a 27-hole parkland golf course. Designed by George Cobb, the course originally opened in 1929. It is semi-private, welcoming both members and visitors. On-site facilities include Driving Range, Putting Green, Golf Lessons, Teaching Center, Golf Cart Rental, Club Hire.
Raleigh Golf Association was incorporated and began operating in 1929, giving Raleigh an early public alternative to the private country clubs that dominated organized golf in the area.
The facility grew to 27 holes, with 18 maintained for public play and nine associated with stockholder and member privileges. David Postlethwait is reported to have redesigned the course in 1998. McConnell Golf took over operational management in 2016.
In 2025 the relationship was extended through a long-term lease and a $3.5 million redevelopment led by Kris Spence.
The 2026 project includes redesigned golf holes, new greens and irrigation and a planned 60-bay lighted practice range and teaching center, while RGA continues to emphasize affordable public golf.
