Knights Play Golf Center


About this course
Knight's Play is a public facility in Apex, North Carolina, designed by David Postlethwait and situated in the rapidly growing Research Triangle region southwest of Raleigh. The course serves the western Wake County area, which has seen substantial residential and commercial development over the past two decades, and provides accessible golf in a community where demand for public play options has increased alongside population growth. Postlethwait's design works with the rolling Piedmont terrain characteristic of central North Carolina, incorporating natural elevation changes and wooded corridors typical of the region's landscape. The routing likely takes advantage of mature hardwoods and pines that frame holes and define playing corridors, while also managing stormwater and environmental features common to modern North Carolina course development. The layout balances playability for everyday golfers with enough strategic interest to reward thoughtful course management. As part of Knights Play Golf Center, the course operates within a larger practice and instruction facility, reflecting a model that has become more common in suburban golf markets where teaching programs and family-friendly amenities complement traditional course play. The center serves both regular players from the Apex area and those seeking convenient access from nearby Cary and southwest Raleigh, contributing to the public golf infrastructure in one of North Carolina's most dynamic growth corridors.
