Great Muni for Practice

Pretty fair course and no tricked up holes. Run of the mill bar which is designed to be hit before and after the front 9. Greens are in excellent shape, run fast, and true which is surprising because the rest of the course is completely burned out. Hit it straight and it’ll run for days. Not a bad course at all for the price. I’ll be playing here again.

It is what it is

For the price, you can't beat it. The greens were the only well kept part of the place. Layout allows for beers and a glizzy between 9's.

Overall, decent place to come with a group or family.

Great price for the conditions

I played on a holiday weekend for just 55 a person. The course was in great shape for a cheap rate. Greens where very hard to read. The only thing bad about the course is the pace of play. Expect to have at least a 4 hour round, mine took 4 hours and 45 minutes. However I had a great time and for the price recommend it!

Pace of play

Nice course but the pace of play is the worst I have ever seen. Usually it is slow, but today was the slowest round I have ever seen. Took over 3 hours to play the front 9.

Great value course

In the Wilmington are, you'd be hard pressed to find better value for 18 holes or golf. The work they are putting in also looks great.

Everything was average or below average. I’ve never played anywhere you have to dodge golf balls from players on the next hole..

I would not want to play here again.

Tees, Greens, Fairways were great. The overall terrain in the rough is very rough, full of ruts and bare spots ( no grass at all)
