Fun course for reasonable price

Price point is good, greens manicured well. If I have one huge pro tip to give , it is to pack bug spray. The gnats and mosquitoes were so thick they attacked you the whole round. Outside of the insects being miserable, I will be back to play again with bug spray equipped!

Greens are in poor condition

Practice had had no balls in trays. Greens are in poor condition - some had goose grass others had been damaged by overspray of herbicide

Definitely not worth the money.

Enjoyed Wendell CC!!

I’m familiarizing myself with the public and semi-private courses in the Wake Forest/Raleigh-Durham area, and I really enjoyed my round at Wendell CC. The fairways and greens were in pretty good shape, and the cart paths (a huge maintenance issue at most area courses, terrible!!) were not as bad as most. Staff was friendly and helpful (gave out free bottles of water to help with the high temps) and I thought the course was reasonably challenging. I would definitely recommend Wendell CC and definitely play there again!!

Disappointing Course Conditions, but Excellent Staff Service

Lack of Proper Green and Course Maintenance

The current condition of the greens is alarmingly poor. In several areas, the turf is severely damaged, resembling makeshift sand bunkers rather than putting surfaces. This significantly diminishes the overall quality of play. Additionally, it is quite difficult to place tees properly when preparing for tee shots, likely due to uneven or overly compacted ground on the teeing areas.

Lack of Etiquette Among Some Golfers

Unfortunately, the behavior of certain golfers on the course has been disappointing. Instances of rude and inconsiderate conduct have been observed, creating discomfort for others. Such behavior not only goes against the fundamental etiquette of the sport but also negatively affects the overall atmosphere of the golf course. (Could this be related to the location of the course or the characteristics of its regular clientele?)

Friendly Staff

On a positive note, the staff members are very friendly and courteous, which adds a pleasant touch to the overall experience, despite the issues mentioned above.
