This course needs work
This course has largely gone to the hackers. It takes way to long to play 18 with most people not understanding etiquette. Also employees don’t seem to mind cutting right in front of shots or stoping play to change a hole as your hitting into that green. This course needs some serious work.

Meh
Relatively inexpensive, but horribly maintained. I'd never play here for a real round, but it's fine for practice.

Great old muni working hard to make a comeback.
I’ve played WB Muni many times over the last 35 years. Back then it was a beautiful and tough course with some of the best and fastest greens in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Over the years it fell on hard times mostly due to budget concerns I imagine as most small cities have experienced money problems. Ten years ago it reached its low point but its been slowly but surely making a comeback thanks to a concerned group of people there. The greens are all in great shape if maybe a bit slower than years past. The collars on some are in tough shape as are the lead ins to many greens but they are working on them. Great idea keeping carts back away from them with prominent signage. Most tee boxes are in good shape but a couple a spotty and weedy. Fairways are dry due to recent heat but certainly playable. The bunkers are bad but they can only do so much. The rates are very fair for the conditions and I don’t mind paying as long as there is obvious progress being made, which there is! Can’t help but draw comparison to Harding Parks tough times and hard fought return to be PGA site this weekend. Stick with it gang your hard work is slowly paying off. Play the WB Muni and help out a great course!

Good Deal
I played here three weeks ago an enjoyed the course but today it is really burnt.
Fairways were rock hard. Greens were good. Tee boxes need work.
Course layout is great, some really nice holes. Long par 3s.
My friend and I both used a GPS app and his had the holes numbered as the old course. (1 was 10 and 10 was 1 etc. etc.)
Would play here again if I got another great deal from Golf Now, I would not play the going rate of $29.

Great Day of Golf
I haven’t been to Wilkes Barre Muni in about ten years and was pleasantly surprised at its condition. Very nice course, reasonably priced, and close by. Quality course
A good course to practice, not a true test
Given that this is a public course, it was not a challenging course but a fair one if you kept the ball straight.. The tee boxes were in good shape; the greens in excellent shape, the sand traps were not manicured. and there was plenty of weed build up in more than a few. Pro Shop staff very friendly. Easy to navigate the course. Effective distancing when i played given the environment..
Good value
Booked tee time with golf now great deal people were very nice in club house and on course took my girlfriend she had a great time course was in very good shape will diffently go back
Best Value in the Area
I’ve return to muni being my home course after not playing it for 5+ years. I am shocked at the changes, it is still not on the level as Blue Ridge or Sand Springs but what it does it price. I’ve played twice this week and 5 times this year and each time the course is in a little better shape. The greens are much better then they used to be (only remember one green having a significant burn mark) outside of that, the green were pretty good. The fairways are actual fairways again, the rough has two or three cuts depending on the hole, the point is they are improving, while maintaining a great value. I will be returning again.
Course in Nice Shape
Course is in nice shape. Greens ate very nice. Pace of play was very good.

Good round of golf
I have played here a few times in the last month. Course is in pretty good shape. Definitely will be back.
Great conditions compared to the last few years
First time at the course in over 4 years. New management took over 3 years ago an has made some improvements. Greens are little slow but in much better shape. Only got to play 13 because of some afternoon Thunderstorms but overall I will be returning this year.
Wiles Bare CC
I was as impressed with the course. Wide fairways and forgiving. It was nice to play a course with water.
