nice
Played there Saturday the course was in great condition pace of play was a little slow but I expected It to be for the great price. Each time I play there The course Shows improvement. It seems like every course I'll play the starters are a little grumpy Wil-Mar not excluded
Worst Customer Service Ever
Played Saturday with a 11am tee time. We didn't get to tee off until 11:25 because it was so backed up. Pace of play was the worst I have ever seen. Minimum of 15 minutes waiting per hole on tee boxes. After a 4 hour front 9 we go into the clubhouse to grab some food and drink. We were immediately met with the rudest woman I have seen in hospitality services. It was clear she hated her job and was incredibly rude to us. She claimed we needed to give her all of our food orders at once even though she couldn't handle making 4 hot dogs without asking us how many and what was on each at least 5 times. She threw a massive fit and stormed around like a 5 year old. She verbally accousted our party and was argumentative the entire time. I have never been treated like that ever. We were spending our money at your course you would think that you would want it. And we are all big tippers but not when you treat us like that. We will NEVER come back all because of this woman. I can understand the pace of play but the customer service was inexcusable. Just the worst I have ever seen. If you do go here bring your own food and drink so you don't have to deal with this woman.
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide detailed feedback about the situation.
We realize pace of play is very important to maintain on busy days, that is why we always have a marshal
on duty Saturdays, Sundays and other days where we have a large number of golfers expected. As you noticed, we try to keep the time ordering at the turn a quick and seamless process to keep things in motion. We understand you were unsure of the drink options available with the sandwich special you ordered, and apologize if you felt rushed in making your decision when the specialty tea you would have preferred was not included in the offer.
I apologize, again, that you had a poor experience and felt you were mistreated. We are a small, family-run business that prides itself in offering great, friendly customer service.
I assure you we have addressed the issue with our staff and have discussed ways to avoid this sort of uncomfortable experience for our customers in the future.
We truly hope you will give us another try.
Need to manage pace of play and number of golfers
This is a nice course that is well taken care of and good value for 18.
However, both times I've played, we've had stack ups at tees of over 3 groups of golfers which makes for a long and slow round. During yesterday's round there was no sign of a ranger till 16 and we were waiting +15min on every hole before we could hit.
Until the course starts spreading tee times properly and moving slow groups along and bringing faster groups through I won't be returning.
Thank you for your feedback. While we always have a ranger on the weekends, we appreciate you bringing it to our attention that on busy days pace of play still suffers. If you could kindly email us with a few more details at wilmarteetimes@aol.com, we would be able to work to resolve the issue. We would like to offer you a promotional code toward your next round in gratitude.
Great course for a casual golfer
This course is great for those who are looking for a casual place to play. It is a good difficulty for any level golfer offering a mix of wide and narrow fairways and good sized greens. It was well kept and groomed nicely. There was a holdup at one point in which I waited about 20 minutes to play a hole. Other than that it was great.
Thank you for your review! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your round and look forward to your next visit!
1st time player
The course was playable and pace of play was very fast. There were about 1/2 of the greens recently top dressed that made the putts bounce all over the place but the other 1/2 were fine. The course is very short from the back tees and on the front 9 you could always hear traffic from I540
Thank you for trying out Wil-Mar! We hope to see you back for another round soon!
Good bang for the buck
Played this course over the past 5 years. It gets better every year. Doing some limited repair to greens but are still very good. Fairways are nice. Pace of play is the only low point, but they do have rangers. Not sure if they ask groups to keep with the ones in front of them, but it can be quite slow on busy days.
Thank you very much for your review! We are proud to hear that you have made Wil-Mar a reoccurring destination for your golf game. We will consider you input on the pace of play very seriously.We look forward to your next visit!
Nice course
Nice course for all skill levels, really enjoy playing here
Thank you for your review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience here and hope to see you for many more soon!
Good Course for Value
Once again good course for value. I got on for 27.00 on Saturday morning. Can't beat that. The course was in good condition. For those who know Wilmar it's a confidence course. Back nine can challenge a little bit. But for the value no complaints here. Pace of play was a little slow....would be only negative.
Thank you so much for your review! We apologize that your round took longer than you would have liked. We look forward to your next visit!
Great Value For the Money!!!!!!
The course was in great shape for the most part. However, there were two things were a little less than par. The greens are for the most part in great shape. However, on about 7 of the holes there are areas that are being patched (new sod being laid and little aeration). They are also fixing 1-3 tee boxes, but that doesn't take away from the play. Otherwise, this course was great for the price!!!! The fairways are mint, and the management is really putting money back into the course. 4 STARS
Thank you so much for the nice review! We appreciate your patience as we work diligently to get the course in the best shape possible. We look forward to your next round!
Much Improved!!
Winter was tough on Wil-Mar, but they have been working very hard to get the course back into the condition it normally is in. They have laid sod on just about all the tees that had winter damage. They have also patched and repaired all but one green that had damage. The pro shop attendant said that the last green would be fixed in the next few days along with a few more tee boxes. I am very impressed with how much work they have done in the last few weeks. You can tell they are really trying hard to fix things as quick as possible. The difference now and 4 weeks ago is night and day. The fairways actually came out of the winter better than most courses I have played in the area. If you had a disappointing experience back in April or May I highly suggest you try them again. Also the friendliest staff in the area hands down!
Thank you so much for your valuable feedback, as well as your patience while we work to bring our greens back up to where they should be. We are so glad you are noticing improvements and that you shared your thoughts. We look forward to you coming back for another round soon!
Nice people, not worth the $
Course was chewed up and much of it was under some sort of repair. One hole was unuseable. The people were very kind, but the course conditions were not worth the price.
Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, we came out of a particularly harsh winter this year and it has taken longer than usual for the course to recover. Since your visit, we have finished laying down new sod and have undergone aerification. We hope you come back for another round soon, please send us an email at wilmarteetimes@aol.com for a promotional code.
Wait for Better golf
Memorial day. The course informed us that one green was being replaced and not playable. OK.
There were at least 4 temporary tee boxes - Taking at least 200 yards off a short course. Most of the tee boxes have no grass at all. teing off was not a pleasure as the ground was very hard and bare,
Surprising, the fairways were ok in most places. did not need to roll the ball at all. Green were just OK but were very un-smooth. several putts would bounce off line. these need to be rolled to smooth them to a very playable level.
Thank you for your feedback. We apologize that you did not enjoy you round. Since we've laid down the sod last week we've seen an improvement. Unfortunately we had a rough winter but we expect a full recovery. Please send us an email at wilmartteetimes@aol.com to discuss further.
"IN THE ROUGH"
Those of us living on the eastern seaboard know the winter past was quite a battle for golf courses in the area. Bermuda turf, whether greens or fairway, took a beating and to this point in time have not fully recovered. The greens staff at Wil-Mar Golf Course are working daily to achieve recovery but things are not up to the level of their desires nor that of their clients. To judge the course conditions is unjust, they are what they are until an appropriate time for recovery is allowed.
I have not played Wil-Mar for a great many years, however the staff and the layout are as enjoyable and friendly as I recall from the last century, when I played there in 1989. A truly nice Carolina layout much as Donald Ross would have created; small, raised, undulating greens guarded by bunkers or water, open fairways and some troubles here and there, not over powering but a challenge all the same.
Some greens are in a state of repair or recovery but for the most part putted well but a bit slow, maybe an eight on the Stimpmeter. The fairways are very playable in almost every case. The golf carts are new and powered by gasoline so they move out quite quickly; get in and hang on, and use those bottles of sand provided to fill your diviots!
(Also, by the way, our group played the entire course, all eighteen holes, how can you not play nine holes if you play eighteen?)
You will happy to know the practice area and driving range are in full operation and the practice putting surfaces at the club house are very good replicas of the greens (especially speed) you will find on the course.
If you are searching for a local golf course that will not 'break the bank' yet challenge you to your highest level of play give Wil-Mar a round or two, I am sure you will find the course and staff welcoming and appreciative of your patronage.
Thank you for taking the time to review the course. Thank you, further, for your understanding and patience as we work hard to replenish the course. We've just laid down sod last week in needed areas and expect the recovery process to continue full speed!
great course, tough winter
I play here quite often and golf course is always in good shape. The winter was terrible and certain areas show some winter damage, but the staff is aware and is working to repair the damage. All courses that I have played across the area with Bermuda grass have some issues on greens, tees, and fairways.
Thank you for the review and your consideration that course conditions are not always at their best coming out of winter. We hope to see you at the course soon!
over booked
No Marshalls three groups booked at 3:04 and no one knew to let faster groups thru. People left after nine and we were waiting on 11 tee box. Greens we're rough, maybe from excess foot traffic, slow greens for slow play
Thank you for your feedback. After the harsh winter, our greens have taken a bit longer to heal than usual. We just replaced some areas with sod. We hope to see you again soon at the course and we will work hard to improve your experience. Please email us at wilmarteetimes@aol.com to discuss further.
wil mar
Fairways were in excellent condition, but the greens
were not. And a lot of the tee boxes were just sand.
Thank you for the feedback. We are aware of the conditions left behind by the harsh winter and we appreciate our customers' patience while the greens heal. We hope to see you again soon for another round!
Nice Day Golfin'!
Wife and I decided to play on a Saturday for a change. Course was busy and fairly crowded. Can't help the pace of play with this many. We got paired with a couple of young fellers and we all had a nice time. Only niggle is some of the greens needed attention. A few tricky greens there btw, so beware! Landscaping was nice. Pretty course.
Staff was wonderful. They made the trip!
We are glad you enjoyed your round! Thank you very much for your review. Our greens are recovering from some winter damage, we expect them to be healed in the next couple of weeks. We look forward to your next visit!
Rough
Played not long ago and course was in decent shape so figured $25 for noon round on a Saturday was solid deal. Nope. Several greens have lost large patches. Tee boxes were some of worst I've ever seen. Might play there again but won't be for several months.
Thank you for your valuable feedback, I assure you we take all reviews very seriously. Unfortunately, the course is recovering from winter damage but should recover fully in the next couple of weeks, weather permitting. We have taken soil samples on the greens and thankfully there is no permanent damage. Please email us at WilMarTeeTimes@aol.com to discuss further.
Decent course, terrible greens
Greens were very inconsistent and hard. This is a decent public course, but for $40 I was expecting better greens and more scenic views. Front nine is wide open and fairly easy, back nine is narrow with lots of trees. Not too much water but there is sand around most greens which makes it more challenging.
Continued to improve course
Course has dried out and was in good shape. They continued to improved the course over last year.
Thank you for your excellent review! We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your round and found it to be a great value. We look forward to your next round!
