Nice relaxed atmosphere

Covenant location. Enjoy golfing there for the price and staff. Go usually during the week by myself and they do a great job of pairing me up with someone.

Enticed by the price & proximity

It was a great experience for the very low price. I did not plan to play Thursday but the price was too good to pass up and I was free in the late afternoon. The course is close by and I'm very familiar with it.

Okay course for practice

This is the first time I played Wil-mar in about a year. The course was bone dry and the fairway was mostly brown...can't imagine what it will be like in July. The course has a few places to challenge your skills but nothing too challenging. Overall it's an okay course to practice your skills.

Just an average experience

I had two friends meet me out there to catch up on some good fun time with golf. Unfortunately, they had overbooked big time and we waited in line 30 minutes to tee off and then were forced to add another stranger to our group. This was somewhat understandable for a great weather day like Sunday. We got behind a group that played the first three holes in one hour! We complained to the ranger and they warned them. However, the extreme slow play had continued. We played the front 9 in 3.5 hours and since the dark was slowly approaching, we asked for a 9 hole raincheck. The golf pro declined since we had found an online coupon (special rate)! Very poor business dealing if you ask me. I wouldn't recommend but I won't say that this one employee will ruin for the rest of the staff either. A decent course right off of the highway...that's it.

Very Fine Experience All Around

Enjoyed the 18 holes today at Wil-Mar. Pro Shop Staff were friendly, helpful and provided information on the course. The starter was a splendid fellow who was genuinely pleasant and matched us up with a great 3rd. We all enjoyed Wil-Mar; its not long, even from the Blue Tees (6100+ (?)) but the bunkers were well positioned and in great shape. Greens were varied, some postage stamps and some larger real estate appropriate to the length of the hole and the par. They were fast and smooth, and a good test. We played cart path only today because of heavy recent rains, and we were able to play in 4 hours on a Sunday morning on a round that started at 10a. That pace of play, fast considering cart path only, was very fast based on my experience. We will go back!

Tale of Two 9's

Very fun course. Front 9 is fairly open, back 9 is tighter with more water/creeks in play. Bermuda greens with a lot of grain. Course in good condition for November. Not a long course from back tees (6,150 yds) but you need to know where to miss it and play for the bounces off the sloping fairways. Strong par 3's from the back tees. Front 9 a good play for beginners.....back 9, better have a good supply of golf balls. Great price for adult beverage 6 pack!

Very enjoyable day of golf.

It was a good time. Back 9 was a challenge for us beginners but still very enjoyable. Staff was friendly. I've been to courses where people were chasing us to speed up play. This wasn't like that, everyone was great.

Good value course

This was my first time golfing at this course. It is a good value overall . The greens and fairways are in excellent shape. The only reason I didnt score 5stars b/c some holes are too close together causing danger of getting hit.

Busy but great shape

Just played this course this Saturday, and it was a great day for golf. The course was extremely busy and waiting at just about every hole, but it was in great shape for as much use as it was getting. The starter was very friendly and warned us about the hardness of the greens and he was right on! The ball would hit and roll 15-20 feet past landing spot every time. It was very hard to keep anything close to the pins. Was a good deal for $25 a person, but I wouldn't pay much more than that to play it again.

Good Course to play

The greens were in real good shape. A little firm and slightly slower than they look. The course is fun to play with a good combination of easy and difficult holes.

Just enough to keep you interested

The course has some unique holes. Not just your run of the mill back and forth layout. There are many holes that make you choose a shot selection. If it wasn't for the variety of the holes I'd say it was just a regular low priced golf course. The greens are in good condition along with the fairways. Just one or two bad tee boxes. I'd play it again, the price is RIGHT for the course.
