Great value

Great value as we played this course for $20 (18 w/cart) on a Friday afternoon. Course needs a little TLC but is in fair condition. Greens had just been plugged and filled with sand so that sucked. Overall was a great deal and staff was friendly. Would definitely go back.

Ok but needs attention

Ok for the money on golf now , only $12 , but the fairways need attention and some areas around the greens. The cart paths are in bad shape also.. The layout is ok and the greens were ok. The staff was friendly and the location is good .

Quick Play

First time at Wendell. Check in was easy - carts were great. Generally a typical round of golf - not too many tree challenges and bunkers. Long par 3's. Some approaches to holes could be a bit confusing. Greens were fast but seemed a bit artificial - rolled and painted- sort of synthetic. All in all a good round of golf. Would recommend.

Good course for the $$

First time playing here, didn't have great expectations. Was pleasantly surprised though. Greens were in good shape, and fast! Fairways were a bit thin in spots( it is winter), but the layout was fun and interesting. Not a long course at 6100 yds from the tips, but plenty enough challenge for a 10 handicapper like me. If you're expecting top notch, private country club conditions, look elsewhere. But if you live near the Wendell area, definitely check it out.

Quite Round of Golf

Worth the drive to play this course. Has several blind tee shots which can get you into trouble finding your ball. Enjoyed the outing, but glad we had a breeze to keep a little cool.

Wendell

This course is a great practice course. Rates are reasonable, and the condition of the course reflects in its rate. It is cheaper to walk 9 holes than to go to a driving range.

This course is an excellent place to work on your short game.

Excellent Greens

Hadn't been to Wendell in several months. The greens are in excellent condition...they are grainy but roll true and no bare spots. There are some bare spots in the fairways but not enough to cause concern. This is a great, fun play using Golf Now. Very forgiving for beginners but some challenging par 3's from the back tees (6150 yds).

Great Time

Played this course about a year ago and wasn't expressed. After talking to a few friends they said I should give it another try. So I played it yesterday and boy am I glad I did, besides making some new friends the course was in great shape. And the price we got from golfnow didn't hurt either. I will be playing here more often.

Best deal around

We've played there twice and really enjoyed it both times. The greens are great, the layout is really good and the staff have been fantastic. Lunch at the turn was good and cheap. Would love to play there more if we lived closer.

Course is rough

I hate to bash a golf course because the manger or whoever seemed very nice. But this course is rough the greens had just been aerated so definitely not their fault there but were impossible to play on but looked like they would be decent otherwise. But the fairways not playable in spots. There are 30 yard if not bigger patches of grass missing. Drives rolled out awesome. I don't see how they can charge 35 dollars to play out there. After playing 7 different courses this month from varying greens fees this one was the worst. The clubhouse was very nice if that means anything.

Thank you for taking the time to review our course. Definitely after aerating you're not going to have those ideal conditions, but we're sorry to hear the course was disappointing for you. We are definitely working hard to improve every day! We hope you'll give us another chance this season.

Gun Shots No Extra Charge

I played this course last year and they were in the midst of upgrading the course. Unfortunately, it seemed like the improvements did not survive the winter. It is a fun course, great for beginners and those that just like hitting the ball. This year, apparently a militia group moved into the neighborhood. Gunshots were constant during the ENTIRE round. It was NOT a peaceful afternoon.

I probably won't be back.

Course needs work

Played here today and the course was in terrible shape. Hardly any grass on the fairway or tee boxes, greens were ok, but still not great. The nats were unbearable I could barely play on the back nine. This place really has to do some work to get it up to par ,it wasn't even a bargain for the $10 I paid, I could have had added 4 more bucks to that and played somewhere decent. I will not be returning here until they get this place turned into a golf course

Thank you for taking the time to review us. We're definitely working very hard to get the course in the best possible shape for the season -- better grass on the boxes and fairways since March. We hope you'll give us another chance this season.
