Wilkes-Barre Golf Club

I'd rate the course 8 outta 10. Total deal for 25 dollars. Played in 4 hours. I'd recommend playing. Bar was closed due to Covid so couldn't sit down for a beer afterwards but totally understandable. Staff is super cool and friendly, I'd would recommend playing.

Overall the course was in good shape. I'd give it an 8.5 outta 10. For 25 dollars or less well worth it. Bar was closed but with Covid totally understandable. They do have new carts as well. I'd totally recommend.

excellent course for the money, very beginner friendly fairways and is a well maintained course

I read previous reviews, but decided to go anyway. The woman who greeted me to accept my reservation was just primo. Very nice, very professional and a warm human being. She explained the swapping of the nines and sent me on my way. The greens were in excellent shape and the fairways were well maintained. The tee boxes could use a little care and the occasional sand trap, but most traps were good. I played as a single and came upon a twosome on the first hole and maintained a nice distance and they turned into a foursome on the 7th hole. When we turned they allowed me to play through and I came upon another foursome who also let me play through. Didn't wait again til 16. Got done in a little over 3 hours. The course is pretty forgiving but first timers should play with a guide.

Played the course early in the day. Last time I played this course (last year) they were having a tough time I think primarily due to weather, Still have had a lot of rain this year, but the course is much, much better than last year. Pay no attention to 2018 reviews, they have no relevance to current course conditions. The greens are in very good shape but were slow (early in the day, rain the day overnight). Fairways are still a little rough, again due to all the rain slowing down their work. But I can't say enough how much the course has been improved since last year due to the hard work of the staff - they really care about what they are doing and are working hard to get the course into top shape. If they get a week of dry weather they will get it done. Club house staff very pleasant on the phone and in person. Come out and play a round here to support this course and keep it on the road back. Right now, you can't beat the price.

I went with my husband and son and we had a nice time. They were cutting the fairways and doing a good job. The price was very reasonable and we had fun!

course greens were in poor condition with patchy areas and some bare spots. the bunkers were overgrowing with weeds coming up through the sand. not well maintained

I’ve golfed here in the past and have never seen the course in such awful conditions. I will never play the Muni again.

weeds growing in sandtraps,rocks, poor drainage in front of greens, greens has crabgrass on them no true roll should i go on, otherwise a good layout they need to shut done course for 2 months get it back on track

Nice course gone bad unfortunately. I remember when the conditions rivaled private country clubs. Please have someone pay attention to the greens. Bring in a consultant if necessary. It's hard to have fun putting when your ball is bouncing all over the place. Aerate, fertilize, water, whatever it takes, but please get them playable again. Maybe getting some course superintendent interns to work for the summer might be a solution. Anything. We always enjoyed our after work rounds, but not so much anymore. Bartender and pro shop attendant are very nice people. But they must get an earful. Bring it back to a playable course....PLEASE

Total shame what has happened to this course over the years. The good; Great Layout. The bad; everything except the Great Layout. I've played this course off and on since moving to this area in 1987 and it's been up and down condition-wise over that period of time. Right now, it is in the absolute worse shape I've seen it and has continued to go down hill over the past 3-4 years. This problem is not the result of poor weather thus far and that cannot be used as an excuse. Lack of financial input to the course as well as the run down pro shop, bar and dining area is glaring. Please, please, please sell or shut down the course altogether. As I stated in the beginning, the layout is great but I'm afraid it's too late to revive this one.

I've been playing golf for 35 years and have played hundreds of courses and have never seen worse greens or sand traps. The tee boxes were below average and the fairways were ok. This course should not even be open.

I've been golfing for 35 years and have played hundreds of course and this was the single worst golf experience bar none. Even at $25.00 for 18 with a cart I felt like I wasted my money . There is more goose crap then grass on the greens and the tee boxes look like the ruff. This course makes Arnold's in Mifflenville look like Augusta national.
