About this course

Knight's Play is a par-3 course at Knights Play Golf Center in Apex, North Carolina, designed by David Postlethwait. The facility serves the Raleigh-Durham area's western suburbs, offering a short course option in a region that has seen considerable residential and commercial growth over the past two decades. Apex sits in the North Carolina Piedmont, where rolling terrain and mixed hardwood vegetation provide the typical landscape context for golf development. Postlethwait's design work in the Carolinas has included both regulation courses and short-game facilities, often emphasizing playability and practice value alongside recreational golf. Par-3 courses of this type generally feature holes ranging from wedge distance to mid-irons, with enough variety in length and green complexity to challenge iron play and short-game skills. The format appeals to beginners, juniors, and experienced players looking for quick rounds or focused practice. Knights Play Golf Center operates as a public facility with a practice range and instruction programs alongside the par-3 layout. These multi-use golf centers have become common in suburban markets where land constraints and demographic diversity favor flexible, accessible golf options over traditional private club models. The course provides an entry point for new golfers and a convenient practice venue for residents in the rapidly growing Research Triangle region.

Getting there

The journey to Knights Play Golf Center begins at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, a straightforward twenty-minute drive southwest into the flourishing suburban edge of Apex. The route follows I-40 west before peeling off into the gently rolling terrain of western Wake County, where new residential developments give way to pockets of preserved woodland and the quiet hum of North Carolina's Research Triangle periphery. The facility sits tucked within this transitional landscape, accessible yet removed - a discreet retreat for short-game refinement just beyond the reach of the capital's sprawl.
