Downtown Raleigh: The Pinehurst of Beer Golf

Pinehurst may boast 43 golf courses, but downtown Raleigh has its own retort. Currently sporting 65 bars in its downtown (with 8 more coming soon), Raleigh stands as one of the South’s best places for Beer Golf. Using the downtown layout featured at the Downtown Alliance’s godowntownraleigh.com site, we organized a walking tour of all of downtown’s bars. raleighing.com wishes you the best of luck and takes no reponsibility for the manner in which you use this valuable information.
