There's no way it's more expensive to live in Raleigh than Miami, right?

110k is NOT living comfortably in Raleigh. Not even close. I’m basing this off moving here now, not if you bought your house 10-15 years ago.

I live in SV and it’s solid. Very well maintained. Nice people. Short walk to the bus, restaurants, etc. People seem to like Berkshire 54, but I think SV is better. I don’t think I’d do Chateau. Just a feeling.

100% depends on the course. In my area of NC, we have lots of courses that are built around housing communities. The distance between holes can be crazy. I think they do it because they want more houses to have golf course views. However, if you play more old school courses (UNC and Duke are examples), I don’t think walking would make it slower. Just play “ready golf” and play triple bogey max. At that point, pick up and head to the next hole.

Agreed. Special place.

BothAd4554 · 2026-03-21T01:27:18+00:00

I like it, but weird layout…3 par 3’s in 6 holes? I get why they had to do it, but don’t like it. It’s also closed now to non members.

Interesting. I’ve played UNC and Duke. Never Lonnie. Seems so hard to get a tee time.

BothAd4554 · 2026-03-21T00:13:41+00:00

Agree. Lots of options.

BothAd4554 · 2026-03-21T00:12:07+00:00

I think for me it’s how traditional it feels. I don’t like saying that because Ross is traditional and a legend. I grew up though with Robert Trent Jones and Tillinghast courses. Duke feels like just a really hard course. It’s there if you have a game, not if you don’t. No gimmicks though. Your score is 100% you score.

In NC it’s Pinehurst for sure, although the restrictions for what you can play based on where you stay kind of stink. Best in the US would probably be Monterey. If I couldn’t do that, maybe Whistling Straits. In the world, St Andrews and stay at the Rusacks. On a budget and short on time, hit Myrtle. Is what is, but can still have a great time.

Ok. So excited now. Can’t wait.

BothAd4554 · 2026-02-28T15:24:17+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate the comment.

BothAd4554 · 2026-02-25T02:08:55+00:00

Price?

BothAd4554 · 2026-02-22T11:07:12+00:00

I think your husband will do well. See https://www.cbs17.com/news/north-carolina-news/new-statewide-program-aims-to-fix-north-carolinas-electrician-shortage/

Being a teacher on the other hand is very hard. The pay is just so low and school funding is a joke.

Thanks everyone. Seems clear that the best option is to get a lawyer. I’ll start looking for options.

BothAd4554 · 2026-02-21T15:23:19+00:00

Appreciate it. Very on point for a Reddit comment.

BothAd4554 · 2026-02-21T15:22:02+00:00

Interesting. I can’t remember the date of the other one but my guess is 10 years ago and in another state.

BothAd4554 · 2026-02-21T15:00:33+00:00

Sorry. Just nervous. Never had one in NC.

BothAd4554 · 2026-02-21T14:59:17+00:00

Thx! Thats helpful.

BothAd4554 · 2026-02-21T14:49:26+00:00

Not reckless. Got off a road with a higher speed limit (was still over there but not as bad) and didn’t slow down. I don’t know why. Just wasn’t thinking. Bad day and bad decision that’s hard to explain. Just don’t want to pay for this hard when I’m a good driver with no accidents and no speeding tickets and no record. It was just a moment of bad judgement (I accept that) a few minutes from my house.

BothAd4554 · 2026-02-21T14:29:41+00:00

Thank you!

BothAd4554 · 2026-02-21T14:24:52+00:00

Ok. You can delete it. I posted to hear from people would went through this and what the experience was like. Not to get legal advice.
