Great course for price.

Like the title says, it’s a great course for the price, but the pace of play is horrible. Not just the time that I’m writing about now but on multiple occasions I have played there. Played here two days back to back and on both days there was multiple groups of foursomes that teed off at the same time. They have 4 to 5 holes backed up. The last day I played I couldn’t make it the whole 18 hole and quit after 9. If you have the time and patience to play here then it great for the price.

Long drive from Myrtle but a nice course for my wife and I. Played in 3.5 hrs on a Friday at noon. Grass was still dormant, but greens rolled nice.

Very nice golf course

Golf course in good condition, best greens we have played so far, everything is in good condition, with a few holes testing your judgement and skill. Only negative, it is far from Myrtle Beach....

Hidden Gem

Decided to take the 50 minute drive from Myrtle Beach as a change of pace. What a great decision. While not having the amenities of most courses this was an excellent track! We played the full 18 in 3 hours. Lots of interesting holes. The greens were large, receptive, lots of undulation and fast. The fairways were in good shape. All of this for a $30 green fee. Can’t beat it!

cart path

The cart paths are horrible and really gave the kidneys a work out, and also the golf carts. It's no wonder why there were so many walkers.

The course was in good shape, with large undulating greens, that rolled fast until the sprinklers came on. The back is tougher with a par five semi circle around the lake, really nice hole. The price is amazing compared to M. B. but it's an hour to drive,, and apart from cartpath, worth it

Well(man) worth it!

Wellman has some of the most interesting and challenging greens I’ve ever seen. They were in good condition. The rest of the course was coming out of the dormant season and was “close” to being really good. Nice routing. Well worth a visit!

Diamond in the Rough!!!

From the moment I entered the property I was impressed by the view! I too judge a course by its greens and I was pleased with how true they rolled. A little slow for my taste but in great condition. Actual green grass in fairways, no dirt patches. Signature hole #11 was a treat!!! A must play, no matter where you’re coming from. I will be returning soon! Very family like atmosphere. Staff were very friendly (Miss Redhead ;). Course is a Gem indeed

A fun course to play

This was our first round at the Wellman Club and we found the course quite interesting. Greens were in great condition (my most important criterion) and course layout was very good. Detracting factors included distance from our vacation stay in North Myrtle Beach and cart paths which require significant maintenance. We also found that the course was not included in our GPS watches. both Garmin and Bushnell, and markers for 200, 150 & 100 yards were difficult to locate sometimes.

A Gem

I was pleasantly surprised by this golf course. Terrific layout with some of the best conditioned greens I saw during my vacation in Myrtle Beach. I can honestly say that I was not thrilled by the 11th hole, I didn't think it fit well with the rest of the course, but the other holes more than made up for my feelings about 11. People were great, and the pace of play was even better; 2:45 minutes for 2 of us to play 18. This will be a stop on any trip in this area for me.
