Wil-Mar: Where Your Money Goes Further

We were able to book a Sunday afternoon tee time the day of with no difficulty. The price was more than fair to include a cart (would be the cart fee alone at most courses). The course is very short and the holes are close to one another so we were able to play very quickly with no waiting. There's not a lot of need for a driver on most of the par 4's. The fairways and rough are well maintained while the greens are not. You will typically get a playable lie from the rough and there aren't a lot of places to lose a ball. The greens are similar to a shag carpet with several of them featuring burnt up spots but you have to keep your expectations in check for the rate. Just putt it harder than you think you should. Wasn't the first time playing the course and won't be the last.

Average course-unfriendly starter

Course play was slow and the greens were really slow. Starter was incredible rude and will make me stay clear from this course in the future. Course was in decent condition with the exception of the greens but a bit pricey for the quality.

Good value, fairly easy course

Wil-Mar is not what I would consider a class A course, however it did provide an easy, fluid experience. It is not the most challenging course, but for the cost of a round it is worth 4 stars. The only issue I had was that the greens were not in the best shape. Considering a $20-30 round of 18 I cant knock them too much on this fact. Overall I would recommend checking it out if you are a local.

My round

I have played here many times and it is the first time I have had to say that couse conditions were poor at best. The greens were in terrible condition and if it wasn't for weeds the fairways would have been bare. This course needs alot of work to bring it back to a quality golf course.

Good value good course

I really like this course and have played there 3-4 times this month. Course is in pretty good shaped, however the greens could use some love. Speeds kind of vary with the varying conditions of the greens. Other than that, nice course especially on a deal price but would also pay full price to play this course.

Wil-mar

Parking is a nightmare, arrived an hour before the tee time and still parking was an issue, staff was not welcoming at all! Only played 11 of the 18 holes I paid for because an off the clock ranger having a bad day decided to harass my disabled hubby so we left feeling cheated and unwanted! Have never left in the middle of a round like that and have never been treated so awful will never go back!

Relaxing Day

To play golf in shorts, in February, in North Carolina, was a treat. I was with my son-in-law, and the course hooked us up with a great guy to play with. The pace of play was better then I thought, due to the nice day, and it being a public course that would get a lot based on the weather.

Pass on this one

it started out with dirty, broken restrooms, signs everywhere and reminders that they aren't fans of GolfNow, then was the starter who was beyond rude and not at all helpful, tee boxes that are dead (granted it is December), poor drainage, greens that were dying, fuzzy, and literally checkerboard because of terrible laying of sod, and finally a marshal who didn't push the groups in front which resulted in a 4.5 hr round. There are too many courses in NC to spend even the hot deal price on this one.

One on the best public courses in the area.

The staff is great !!
The groundskeeper Ed is great !!
Joyce in the snack bar is also great !!!
The course has come along way since 8 years ago when I first started playing there,
The are constantly working on the course.
And as far as I am concerned Wilmar is one of the best public courses in the area.
Keep up the good work,
Thanks

Not a Deal At All

My wife and I had a 1:45 tee time thinking we could play 18 holes i n 3 and 1/2 hours. What a disappointment. Golf Now and Wil MAr should not be selling tee times after 12 noon for this time of year. After teeing off 15 minutes late because of the the crowd, waited on nearly every shot . We finished 11 holes before it was getting too dark for us.
Wil Mar and all these courses here should not be selling tee times after 12 noon.

James and Suzanne,

We apologize you were not able to get a full 18 holes of golf in due to daylight. We feel that we offer great rates in the afternoon. We do offer 9 hole rates that many golfers choose to select. We hope to see you and your wife back for another tee time.

One of my favorite

Course in nice shape. Staff is very nice and accommodating. One of my favorite places to play when in Raleigh. Good value at Golf Now price. Playing course in the fall is a little challenging even in the fairway due to fallen leaves. Had a great time. Definitely will be back.

Nice mix of holes

The course designer made this course with a nice mix of hole layouts. The greens were in great condition. The 2 short par 4's on the back nine are harder than they look! The starter shuffled the tee times and allowed my son and I to play with another father and son, thoughtful.
