There are actually two clubs in Cary area now. There is play at Netsports in Morissville (http://www.badminton-rtp.com/ has more information) and Bond Park.

Netsports meets on Friday 6 -9 PM right now and session is 8 weeks which ends Nov 20th (09) and these 8 week sessions are on going, level of play at Netsport is good. Bond park meets on Friday from 8 - 10PM and Saturday from 2.30 - 5.30PM, since they changed the timings on Friday level of play has gone down there but it will pick up once Friday timings get better after basketball season.
