November golf

Course was in good shape. Starter was extremely friendly at the beginning of my round and the end of my round when I passed him on my way to vehicle.

Pace of play was slow, but it still beats doing yard work!! Will be back again.

Enjoyable round

I’ve been playing here for a while and again the course did not disappoint. For being the middle of Fall, the course was in pretty good shape. The fairways and rough were pretty lush and the greens rolled fast(they seem to be the best part of the course). My only issues were a few of the tee boxes, especially the par 3’s. They need to either be re-sodded or need a good amount of dirt and grass seed. Aside from that, this is an enjoyable course to play. It is fairly open but does offer some challenging holes that make you hit golf shots. I’m looking forward to playing here again. Especially when the range is open.

Sunday at Ed Oliver

Always a great price for a day here. I’m glad to see a net wall up along 16. A couple of the tee boxes were moved forward which was nice. Some tree trimming could help speed up play for people (like me) that don’t hit the middle of the fairways.

As always, the restaurant was a nice convenience after the round.

A terrific course

It was my first time on the Ed Oliver Golf Club course in Wilmington, DE. The course was in very good condition. Some greens were a little pockmarked, but nothing too serious. I rode in a cart, which worked fine, as expected. I found the course challenging, starting right off with several water hazards, requiring a good carry with the driver. I would play this course again, with great pleasure.

Confused

We paid the regular amount for a hot deal on a Tuesday, the course was in bad shape lots of dirt spots my ball landed on in the middle of the fairway, the rough was either weeds or dirt, but the worst part was half the course was roped off due to construction of a new cart path which is fine but the workers were literally right in the middle of the fairway on a few holes and trusted us to just hit over them. Overall was not impressed with the conditions of the course and didn’t get a discount for all the work happening.

Tight fairways & greens - too many walkers

For a weekend early morning round, 5 hour pace is too long. The course allows walkers, so that slows things down. Good for the exercisers, not good for the pace. The fairways and greens are pretty tight with tree lines. Balls are easily lost in the rough which also doesn't help pace of play. The greens roll nicely and were in good shape. The bunkers are horrible with hard dirt or very little sand.

Nice day in DE

Greens in great shape, tee boxes a bit rough, fairways decent. Surprisingly pretty good layout, but not overly tough holes. Good spot for a beginner, saw multiple families.. didn't feel too stressed though later in the day some better players definitely pushed the pace of play. Great value.. slight step up from some local Munis, staff were all friendly. Would come back.
