Wedgewood Golf Club - Oak Course

I enjoy playing Wedgewood. It’s in good shape, there are a few challenges and the staff is friendly.

The course was really busy because it was a holiday weekend, but the staff was very friendly and the course was well kept. It was an excellent value for a weekend round of golf.

9:04am on a Tuesday.

Starter sent out 6 groups within 30 minutes behind a 20-person senior league.

League players were, at best, 25 hcp and did not seem to understand (or care about) course etiquette.

1 hour and 10 minutes to finish 4 holes. Not a ranger in sight.

Find a quiet time to play here - good course to practice.

The course was okay, bunkers had tons of rocks in them, and some barely had sand in them. Greens were fast and fairways were good. Maple to Oak.

2 hour, 10 minutes, front-9 holes, not bad.

3.5 hour, back-9 holes. That’s Appalling…

There was, allegedly, a golf outing. All well and fine; however, the outing was not monitored whatsoever, to the point that the pace of play became atrocious.

Players were not ready when pulling up to the for shots, running back and forth with clubs, and one gentleman eyed up 1 putt for about 3 minutes, re-check his stance, move his coin, re-check his alignment, practice putt, engage for putt, then back off and do it all over again. Couldn’t help it, but the putt was about 5 feet, pretty pathetic to watch. All golf courses should have at least 1-2 Course Marshalls checking pace of play, doing the rounds, including this golf course.

This is the 2nd time, as of recent, which pace of play has deteriorated after 9 holes at this course. As well, a younger kid in the outing which was ahead of us - was not appropriately dressed to play golf, with a tee shirt, button-down, sneakers and tube socks, and what looked to be either basketball shorts or swimming trunks. There is an etiquette to golf, and attire is one of them. To top it off, one group in the outing was blaring music on the course.

**And to Wedgewood Golf Course: please do not charge consumers a “bag” fee. Yes, there is a bag fee. Each golfer must have their own bag, and if not, you must rent clubs, for a small fee.

For instance, I had one other person, who played in my group, and we rode in the same cart - but their clubs aren’t that great and preferred to use my clubs which are a little nicer, so we were going to play with the same set of clubs. The front desk lady was really nice and explained the policy; however, had explained to me that the “bag” fee/policy per golfer, is in place because of “pace of play”… so, we did get my friends clubs out of their car, and we had so much time on our hands - that the other person in my cart - PLAYED with my clubs anyway. We even had enough time in between to chip and putt after our holes were done. That’s how bad pace of play was.

So long story short, do not lecture individuals about “pace of play” or institute “bag” fee/policy to address “pace of play”, when clearly you’re not monitoring… “pace of play”. As well, and instead, maybe, just maybe….Wedgewood Golf Course should have an attire policy too. I have frequented Wedgewood as a favorite golf course of mine and the group I was with, but I would say to avoid this golf course at all costs, if this kind of business is going to continue. I have played at several local golf courses and this by far was the worst experience in a long time.

Oh, and for a minute, golfers in the outing, tried to cut in front of us, even though they were behind us, and there were 4 groups ahead of us on hole 10 - Oak - waiting…

The group - asked us, “you’re not going to let us play through?”

My response - “to what? The other 4 groups ahead of us”

Golf is a game of etiquette, and Wedgewood Golf Course - has lost it. Strongly recommend golfing somewhere else.

Pro shop needs a little help in courtesy and management. Saturday mornings are busy so I arrived as a single 40mins early. Hit some balls and some putts before playing were my hopes. I was told 3 others checked in together and they were supposed to come back for me but the office staff didn’t know who they were or where they were. I was to told to carry my bag from the lot to the first tee. Which is quite a walk especially with a cart bag. I get not wanting to give me a cart—I didn’t even ask for one to avoid any further grief. it’s a busy time but to be treated so rudely ESPN when wearing pants, a collared shirt and shined golf shoes goes against the atmosphere of class we all expect from any golf course. Putts rolled good but the tone they set on my Saturday morning should NEVER be acceptable.

I deserve better and so does the game I love to play.

Fun Course. Not difficult. Tees, fairways and greens in good shape thanks to staff. Bunkers are excellent. The only negative is the golfers. My son and I repaired 3-4 ball marks per green. Common golfers, if you’re that good to be making ball marks, you should’ known better and should be repairing them.

Check in is always quick and pace of play is usually pretty good. The course is in great shape. Greens were fast but fair. Great value for the money. I will be back.

It's just a great place to play and have fun while you're enjoying yourself no stress on this course
