Wildwood Green Golf Club in northern Raleigh was designed with players of all skill levels in mind, Opened in 1986, the classic layout underwent a major renovation 10 years later that made it into a challenging but playable test that welcomes everyone from beginners to seasoned pros. Generous landing areas offer some room for error off of the tee and the greens are large and inviting. There are still plenty of trees and sand traps to keep the layout interesting though. Accuracy and careful pin placement are also required to handle Wildwood Green's subtle elevation changes. The golf course finishes with one of its most difficult holes. This par 4 is a slight dogleg right with Carolina pines bordering the right edge as well as a bunker to the left. The approach is an uphill, blind shot to a deep and undulated green.

Terrible Pace of Play-Crowdedness

I played this course on a December weekday, with grey skies and occasional drizzle, but pretty warm. I absolutely could not believe how crowded the course was. You would have thought they were running leagues or something. I had to guess at pace of play number I indicated above because I never got the chance to finish the course. The staff was very nice and the place was well kept and in good shape. But if you can't find a clear fairway to play on a weekday in the middle of December, I assume that crowdedness and pace of play will always be a problem.

At a turtles pace

I had a tee time at 12: 18, but started at 12:02 because we were paired with another couple. My husband and I usually play about once a week on Sat. and it takes approx 3 to 3 1/2 hrs, on this course it took 5 hrs. We never saw the ranger once to help keep the pace of play. I would play the course again but maybe on a weekday, but not Sat.

Very slow

It was very nice but they allow walkers on the weekend which makes it very slow especially when they are going out back-to-back and a group of 5

Staff Friendliness & Great Track = Go Play

I play WWG several times a year and always enjoy the track. It is convenient and always maintained but expect slower play on most days (especially on the front) where the 3rd hole (par 3) bottlenecks the groups. I wanted to especially comment on the staff as I have noticed them being very cordial my last several rounds. When I checked into the club house they seemed happy I was there & when I reached the 1st Tee the starter was informative before sending me out. I also had some interaction with Mr Budwine and he was very helpful with a issue involving a older player in our group..

Kudos to the Management team for hiring the right people and putting them upfront while encouraging a friendly culture.
Keep up the good work... We do notice!

course has potential

This course has a lot of play...a bit slow due to all types of handicaps on it. Had to warm up on mats. Time to spend some $$ on the cart paths.

Very poor condition

I had reviewed the course layout and photos online and was really looking forward to 9 holes after work. I played the back nine as there was a high school girls outing on the front. Sadly I have to report the greens are in awful condition, they had not seen a mower or roller in a very long time. Couple with that the fact that most if not all the greens had a huge bare patches on them where there was simply no grass at all.

The fairways do not score much higher either. Most have bare patches where you find yourself hitting off of compacted soil out in the middle of fairway.

I had high hopes for this course from their website, but believe me it needs some serious TLC.

Would go again

Nice course, greens could use some help. Nice pro shop. Close to highway 540. Big fairways. A few holes had sand traps around the green. A few had big water holes. Nicely marked cart paths. Went at noon time on a Monday and it was busy.

good layout. good for a change

Froup in front was a walking foursome two hole behind forward group. I was in a twosome and they would not let us through. We skipped the 9th to move ahead. Greens had bare spots and not very maintained. Probably worse in the area right now. Course still charges full price though. Would wait a few weeks for greens to recover

Marginally above average course in the middle of the Beltline

Nice layout in the middle of Raleigh. If you live here and don't want to drive to the Pinehurst area, Clayton, and Buries Creek but don't want to drop 50-80 birdies at UNC or State courses this is a good place. It does seem a little steep at full retail, ( but that's why we all enjoy GolfNow) Again, if you don't want to travel and want a good layout this is it. Small clubhouse and grill in need of remodeling, the staff was extremely friendly. Seriously. Nice team. I especially appreciate the guy at the counter who gave me a used Callaway tour when I was going to purchase 1 logo ball because I only had two balls in my bag and thought I might need a spare. Exceeding expectations goes a long way with me! I did get behind two hacking groups which caused 4+ hour round. What can you say, Stuff happens.

the course has great features and layout

The first thing that I noticed was the friendly staff .The course had a nice layout ,and challenging the greens were spotty. In all fairness the grounds crew were working to take care of the problem. The course played well had a good outing.

Decent course with lost greens

I've played here numerous times and the course is typically in decent shape. The greens, however, have seen better days. Looks like they lost quite a few of them recently.

Greens need attention

This is a tight course that winds through a housing development. Fairly narrow, tree-lined fairways on many holes - so precision is important if you want to score. Staff are friendly, fairways and tee boxes were in fine shape, but the greens were just awful - among the worst I have seen in the Raleigh area this summer. I had a hot deal through GolfNow, so didn't mind as much as I would have if I had paid full price.

The course was Challenging and Fun

Course was in Good shape, greens had been Aerated made very challenging to get it close. Got off to play quickly. Moved around the Course without any backup. Enjoyed My Round of play at 3:30 on Friday afternoon. Great way to start your weekend.

Good, challenging course close to business area off Creedmoor rd

The course is fun to play and overall in pretty good shape. The greens had been aerated, but the staff was upfront about it. It's definitely a shot maker's course, but very playable. Staff is easy going and cordial.

Good Course, Challenging, Poor Greens

As my comment above, and also as some of the other statements. This course is easy on the eye and has a good feeling in and around it. The tees ad fiarways are in very good condition. But the big issues is the greens. The have taken a serious beating. This year has been very wet so I can give the benefit of doubt.

If I was looking for a local club to join would definitely pick this one. Course is easy enough to still enjoy but hard enough to help improve your game.

Overall course OK but greens are in bad shape.

Very friendly staff. Diverse layout is nice but includes too any blind shots. Horrible and almost unplayable greens in terrible shape. Tee boxes horrible. Course needs a lot of work.

Consistent experience each time!

Course was in great condition, especially after the maintenance crew caught up to us on the third hole and blew all the debris off the greens. This course is fun, challenges you, and rewards aggressive play. Will definitely be back.

good variety of challenges

Interesting course, with a great variety of challenges. Some fairly easy holes, some difficult. It's pretty hilly, which results in a number of holes that have great views looking down at your target, but also quite a few blind shots hitting up or over hills, and some holes with sloping fairways. There is water of some kind (streams mostly, some lakes) on most holes. #3 has a huge oak tree in the middle with three bunkers to its right, you're supposed to hit to the fairway left of the tree but of course I pushed it right! I signed up as a single, so I was paired up with a couple guys who knew the course and could advise me about what shots to hit. The fairways were in great shape, and the greens rolled fast and true despite being stressed. Gas powered carts with good brakes. Small driving range near the first tee, and a good sized practice green behind the club house, be sure to practice putting first, or you might not get to practice at all.
