Left wanting more

I play this course a few times a year. For having a very seasonable Fall. The course conditions weren't the best. As always, the greens were in great shape, which they usually are. The fairways were decent and the tee boxes were just OK. A lot of brown patches and dirt areas on tee boxes. I've always liked this course and the layout. Hoping it gets to heal through the spring time.

First Time Playing

Left early

Pace was extremely slow on a weekday around 1:35pm start. First time playing there, could not see any Marshall to keep pace. Got frustrated and left with 4 holes to play. The course is in good condition tho.

All Bunkers need to be fixed. How the course management don’t see that there’re more gravel than sand in the bunker!!!

Poor conditions

This course needs a lot of work. Paid $47 for 18 which nowadays is cheap. However, 50% of the time the ball was unhittable from its lay. Greens were sanded (it’s October!) and the fairways were punched (fairways!!). C’mon man!

Staff are really nice and layout isn’t bad. Good potential just needs better maintenance.

All season player

As an all season player, I can tell you this course needs more work than a little bit. The bunkers are never taken care of their hard as rocks. Also not all the bunkers have sand in them some are just ground up clay or dirt or something. The greens are in pretty good shape most of the year the fairways that’s a different story crabgrass everywhere grab grass on the Teebox if there is grass on the Teebox. Teeboxs also uneven . Like I said, the course needs help they are slowly, but surely putting work into the course it’s just not happening a quick rate. I play there all the time, and yet I tend to be disappointed time and time again. In my opinion, golf is hard enough already without all of these other variables on this course to hinder your game.

Well worth the price

Had an earlier tee time on a Saturday. We were able to speed through the round with almost no hold ups. Greens and fairways were in good shape especially considering the dry few weeks we’ve had.

Porky Oliver course Wilmington DE.

Two of us played 18 holes yesterday. Greens were in decent shape---I did not see any weeds or other surface disruptions. Fairways had quite a number of weeds present. Tight lies were frequent on the course. Cart navigation was easy, with the next tee box close to the last green. .

Nice greens but….

Overall the course needs $ to improve the conditions. Zero decent lies in the fairway or rough. Bunkers had little or no sand and the lips had not seen a weed whacker in weeks. Greens were in good shape and fast. Unfortunately whoever cuts the holes had trouble getting them in straight as many of the pins were leaning. To top it off, on a hot day no one bothered to fill the water coolers and put them into their housings on the course. They were sitting in the cart garage. Covid is no excuse as all other courses have them…
