Nice course
The course was very busy but the pace of play was fine. I love the open fairways but the greens were aerated so they were a bit tricky.
Wonderful course.
As senior golfers we love to play in the afternoon.
The course was wide open and in great condition.
Improved course
Each time we play there we are always impressed by all the improvements. Fairways, greens, cart paths. They’re doing a great job.
Greatly improved course
There are so many improvements being done
Everything looks good. Every time we play there they’re doing something new.
Great quiet golf.
Vastly improved course. Beautiful layout. Lots of trees and shade even on hot days. With the Golf Now app it is very affordable !!
WB Golf Club
Amazing layout. Grrens were pretty decent. Overall conditions average to slightly above average.
With the right superintendent and a sufficient budget, this course could be as nice if not nicer than most private clubs in the area. Just the golf. There are no other amenities.
The swamp
You need planks put down so you could get to the greens without walking thru a swamp. Same condition it was in before they got millions from leftover Covid money. Don’t know what they are doing with that money but I use to like playing there before. Not now
Golfers Beware
I moved to the Scranton-WB area in 1987 and played this course regularly due to the layout and condition of the course. It is probably the best layout of the courses in NEPA. Unfortunately, the course went downhill about 6-7 years ago and I stopped playing it. Recently, a friend of mine played the course and indicated that it wasn't that bad. With that in mind, I gave it another chance but was quickly reminded why I haven't played it since 2016-17. I honestly have nothing positive to say about the course except for the greens which were actually in good shape for the most part. They played fast, which completely surprised me considering the obvious neglect the rest of the course is experiencing. Even though it only cost $30 to play, I would highly recommend that you stay away from this miserable dog track. It's truly a shame that this once terrific course is now a complete dump. I wish someone would buy it and shut it down for a full season or more in order to refurb the entire facility.
Well on the way back!!
I played here this summer and wrote a review about how hard the group at WB Muni is working to return the course to its original glory. Played again yesterday and the progress is fantastic. Keep it up!
