What They're Saying "Heritage Golf Club is a place you'd love to call home. Lots of homes litter the generous fairways but amazingly, when you look back from the greens, they seem to disappear."
The Toronto Star, October 9, 2004
"Hip, friendly and affordable, Enoteca Vin in Raleigh, North Carolina, just might be the perfect American wine bar. Credit Ashley Christensen, a flat-out great cook, and Chrish Peel, a sommelier on the rise."
Food & Wine Magazine, October 2004
"Raleigh has morphed from a friendly-but-sleepy college-government town into a high-tech center where the largest employers include IBM, SAS software and Cisco systems. Still some of Raleigh's finest attributes remain: The sheltering green of oaks and pines, iced tea served sweet, friendly locals with deceptively slow Southern accents masking Ph.D-quick minds." Miami Herald, September 5, 2004
"Parker Kennedy's Caffe Luna brings a taste of authentic Tuscan cuisine to Raleigh, while his wife, Nicole, enhances the restaurant's Italian flavor with her paintings." Southern Living, September 2004
"Downtown Raleigh is in the midst of a true renaissance, with more than $1 billion in new business, renovations and attractions slated." Courier Magazine, September 2004
"Big Ed's City Market Restaurant in Raleigh, N.C., is a big success story in many ways. It's big because the owner, Ed Watkins, is literally large in stature and substance. His larger-than -life personality and presence add flavor to the restaurant that only a real character can achieve." Grit Magazine, August 2004
"North Carolina's capital city offers a relaxed, laid back and value-oriented opportunity to look at culture from another point of view, down-home Southern style." Boston Herald, July 4, 2004
"Raleigh's Glenwood South/Powerhouse Square district is the place to go for a night on the town or to splurge in upscale boutiques and galleries. City Market is also worth checking out: The cobblestoned streets are lined with funky shops and cafes." EnRoute Magazine, April 2004
"Raleigh is bursting at the seams with artistic and cultural threads sewn throughout North Carolina's Capital City area." Newport Plain Talk, March 7, 2004
"Nestled among the rolling hills of Raleigh, N.C., a brief homage to aviation looks at the highs and lows of a century of flight -- from imaginative flights of fancy to dark images that remind us of our infallability, especially in the air."
The Flying Life, Spring 2004
"Raleigh is perhaps the only destination on the (Top 10 Meetings Mecca) list that speaks to the popularity growth of drive-to markets. This 'sleeper' is not so much a national destination as a regional one. If the current downtown planning continues, they'll create a new destination in North Carolina, once again becoming the center of association meetings."
Successful Meetings Magazine, December 2003
"With a population of more than 300,000, Raleigh may be a city, but it lives like a small town, with shaded pedestrian streets, more than 153 park sites, historic cobblestone streets with period lighting and sidewalk cafes." Greenwich Post, October 2003
"Small wonder that the heart of North Carolina turns up regularly on those 'best place to live' lists. Raleigh, the state capital, comes with a host of elegant neighborhoods and a hip arts and culture scene (e.g., museums that are both enlightening and free)" Southwest Airlines Spirit Magazine, June 2003
"You won't have to wait long to have breakfast one morning at Big Ed's City Market Restaurant downtown. Eat up, Buddy: you're going to need your strength for all the great golf that's ahead of you. Less than an hour northeast of downtown Raleigh, in Wake Forest, is Heritage Golf Club. This very pretty and very playable layout was designed by Bob Moore and built in 2001."
Great Lakes Golf Magazine, March 2004
"'Life is a banquet.' So says Loretta Swit (of "M.A.S.H." fame) as the star of "Mame," which played at the world-class BTI Performing Center for the Arts in Raleigh, North Carolina. Coincidentally - and surprisingly - life is like a banquet in Raleigh itself. With restaurants, museums, and shopping galore, it's a big city with small-town feel - and an extra dose of Southern hospitality."
New York City Ambassador Publication, March 2004
"Raleigh is bursting at the seams with artistic and cultural threads sewn throughout North Carolina's capital city this spring."
Newport Plain Talk, March 7, 2004
"Raleigh, North Carolina, located in this dynamic capital city area, is just the place to take your group to enjoy museums, historic tours and some of the most beautiful garden walks in the country."
Bus Tours Magazine, January 2004
"Raleigh is perhaps the only destination on the (10 to Watch) list that speaks to the popularity growth of drive-to markets. This 'sleeper' is not so much a national destination as a regional one. If the current downtown planning continues, they'll create a new destination in North Carolina, once again becoming the center of association meetings. If they continue redevelopment of the area, they're set for a turnaround. The overall demographics show a lot of growth, and it's a real cultural center that is the best in the state."
Successful Meetings Magazine, December 2003
"With a population of more than 300,000, Raleigh may be a city, but it lives like a small town, with shaded pedestrian streets, more than 153 park sites, historic cobblestone streets with period lighting and sidewalk cafes. One of the trendiest new parts of town, the warehouse district, is home to several restaurants, nightclubs and arcades. Glenwood South, just two blocks from North Carolina State, is a vibrant "in" area with singles and has several restaurants and bars, a brewery pub, and condos. Affluent families like well groomed residential areas like Oakwood, which is lined by gracious old homes."
Greenwich Post, October 2003
"At Heritage Golf Club in Wake Forest, designer Bob Moore, a North Carolina native, has created a layout that utilizes the precepts that would make Donald Ross proud. The private Raleigh Country Club lurks below the radar of most Ross fans, but if access can be gained, it is worth the time to play the enjoyable layout that holds the distinction of being the last course that Ross designed before his death in 1948."
Washington Golf Monthly, September 2003
"Small wonder that the heart of North Carolina turns up regularly on those 'best place to live' lists. Raleigh, the state capital, comes with a host of elegant neighborhoods and a hip arts and culture scene (e.g., museums that are both enlightening and free)."
Southwest Airlines Spirit Magazine, June 2003
"From fine art to fine dining, downtown Raleigh beckons with a delightful buffet of activities. Whether you're into shopping for something special for your house at Cameron Village, browsing through an art gallery at City Market, or strolling past historic homes in the Oakwood neighborhood, you'll find a lot to do in the state's capital city."
Southern Living, May 2003
"Raleigh blends relaxed Southern hospitality with uptown amenities to create a dynamic city rich in history, museums, a thriving cultural and entertainment scene and first-rate sports, recreation, shopping and restaurants."
