Enjoyable Course
Course is still wait for the fairways to come in but greens rolled true. I will be come back in peak season!!!
Changes for the better.
Fairways growing in nicely and greens nice as always. Couple of greens redone and some new tee boxes make the course much better. Great course for the money. Would recommend for any golfer to play here.
Fun Layout
The greens are very good...tho smallish.
Two par 3 greens have been recontoured and are now very playable. Fairways are still dormant but not too thin. Fun place to play every once in awhile. The staff is very friendly.
Great value for the money.
Considering it was winter conditions the course played well. The greens ran true while I was pleasantly surprised at the overall play of the course. For the money it was well worth it.
Nice value
Great layout for walking 18. Bermuda greens rolling really well right now. Friendly staff
Great work on your game course.
Plays like a good up and down municipal with fast greens. Great value and work on your game. My friends and I keep it in our rotation of courses.
Great value for December
Today was my first time playing Wendell CC, and just let me say for a $26 GN deal you can’t beat it! Greens were rolling well for late December, and the man working the pro shop was super friendly and helpful. Definitely will be back to play this course in season!
A pleasant afternoon in the sun
It was a lovely sunny day, and given back in the UK it's been truly winter weather it was nice to wear shirt and shorts in November to play a round of golf.
The course was dry, but too many leaves just left to the whim of the wind. Greens we firm if not hard, but they did ruin true. Lots of subtle borrows to allow for.
I hired a set of clubs for $25, not as expensive as other courses I've played, but an ancient driver, 2 hybrids 2 7 irons and nothing less than a 6 iron didn't make up for the price.
Whilst i wouldn't rush to play it a 2nd time it was on the whole enjoyable
Old Short Course
Course is tucked away in Wendell, not bad but it's older and needs work. They are trying to update things and one guy mentioned they reworked some greens. Overall, not bad but not to my liking. Greens were inconsistent at best
get what u pay for
nothing special, old track, old carts, no range, slow play, not friendly when checking in
Great Value
We haven't played Wendell since the pandemic and it has held up well over the last few years. The course conditions have improved and it's a great challenge for higher handicap golfers at a competitive price.
Lots of excitement, but fair to the player
Re-graded greens have much improved course fairness on 2 par threes. Lots of water and some sand to make for exciting shots. Greens are fast, but run true.
A good deal
They have really worked hard to get the course in good condition this year and it is paid off. The pace was a little slow today but we still managed to get 18 holes in 4 hours. Looking forward to our next outing there.
Good course for the money.
Pretty short at just over 6000 yards from the tips, but fun course. Makes you think as there are lots of blond shots. Greens were in good shape for November. And for 35 bucks you can't beat it.
Wendell CC - Punches above its weight class
My expectations for Wendell CC were moderate. What a pleasant surprise that Wendell CC over-delivers! I could tell that this used to be a private country club with nice amenities. I was here for the golf, not lounging by the pool though. The Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Even though this is "The South", I will always shout-out high level hospitality. I was paired up with a couple of guys my own age. I liked the layout almost immediately. On the 3rd hole I drove my ball up the right side.
I definitely Geeked out when I found my ball in the middle of Church Pew Bunkers much like the venerable Oakmont. There are a number of unexpected design features that made playing here a bunch of fun. We were having fun until the 7th hole when one guy pulled something in his back and had to quit. We carried on as a 2some until a young guy joined us on the 10th. The front and back are very different and both enjoyable to play. If I lived around here, Wendell CC would be in my Rota.
Hello, JerryZ. Thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at Wendell Country Club. That's what we like to hear! We hope to see you again soon!
Slow play, older course
This was my second time here and honestly, still not impressed and will not be back. Very, very slow play, starter pilled on folks to make foursomes regardless of tee times and this made thing even slower. Older gas carts with no GPS on carts, no driving range. They have a green to practice putting and chipping before #1 tee. It's a short course. They are trying to make the course a little longer by moving a few tee boxes but it makes for an awkward layout. This time of year courses should play the best in my opinion. Unfortunately, you get what you pay for on this course. Other local courses are far superior and much more enjoyable. If you're a high hdcp, worth the money but for a better hdcp player look elsewhere.
dengent1, I provided a recommended 4 star rating on the course, not sure why your so defensive. You didn't acknowledge anything substantive on my review, rather indicate how, in your opinion, snobby I am. Other local courses I was referring to are Pine Hollow, Neuse Country Club, River Ridge....not Pinehurst #2, etc... These courses are currently playing much better than Wendell. I also acknowledged that renovations are being made to lengthen the course, again nothing bad. I would hope that mgmt oversee's your comments as it looks poorly on WCC and your lack of professionalism.
I have played here off and on for about 10 years. The continuous improvements being made are very good. (except the stripes on number 3. There is room for more improvement, but I say Good Job So Far in the past 4 years. Perhaps this is a better course for locals. At least we appreciate the improvements, changes and fast greens. Thanks
dbirck72, you believe that it's alright for a bunch of singles and 2-somes to follow the 4-somes and keep running right up their backs? And if you are such a low handicap player, you should be playing Pinehurst #2, The Dunes, True Blue, Briar Creek, Carolina CC, Northridge CC, and the other high class, snobby courses. What are you doing playing a regular, working-man's course?
