All good
I am a single and always play with good people there. The course is challenging and in good shape. I am usually able to get a good rate with the golf now app, which is nice
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. .
Conditions poor
Bunkers hard as rock
Fairways terrible
Tee boxes terrible
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…
Fun course.
Apparently this course is a a year or two into an overhaul, and you can tell the work is paying off. The greens were some fantastic and challenging. Fairways in good condition except one of them which had a some bare spots but could be from over use in a dry summer. Tee boxes in good shape, bunker sand was soft and no pooled up water. Over all I’d play this course anytime.
Narrow fairways, tough rough
Fairways are rarely more than 20 yards wide with thick rough all around. Driving accuracy is a premium.
Like many public, and some private, courses I’ve played lately, too many ball marks on greens that are not fixed. Do people not carry a divot fixer when playing?
Pro shop & other staff were very friendly.
I’ve played the course periodically over the last 25 years or so. The improvements made have really made playing Oliver more interesting. Wider fairways in some areas would make it even better.

Nice course for the money. Rough was thick. Needs to improve pace of play with ranger. Will be back.
Felt punished
I’m not kidding when I tell you the rough was 6”+ and thick. I mean fairways are only 20’ wide. If you tricked in rough you basically couldn’t find ball. Found a dozen balls that weren’t mine. Trying to keep the pace of play meant many penalty strokes ugh. Greens were also very very slow
