Ed Oliver Golf Club

For the money course was in good shape. greens were grown out and recently aerated. should get better in the fall. Pace of play was too slow. There was one small group. I liked the layout and the challenge.

It had just rained so review might not be perfect, but upon getting there we were helped greatly by the staff working there. But from there on it got a lot worse. First, the front nine was walking only which isn't too much of a problem but it did seem nicer than the back nine. Would have been nice if they built a better cart path around there so as to not have to make it walking only when it rains. We were told to start at #10, but upon getting there we noticed a group of about 15-20 people gathered around the tee. This isn't usually a problem but they all decided to tee off one group after the other, instead of maybe starting at different holes which would allow smaller groups to play through. It also didn't help that some of them played in groups of 5 which slowed down the pace immensely. It would have been nice if that were regulated a little more. The actual course itself needed some maintenance. It had rained, yes, but it shouldn't have been that bad even if the rain. All in all I would pass on this course and don't plan to play here again.

Half the fairways were missing turf. The slowest pace I have ever seen. At one point all I could see where carts Parked on the golf course with people sitting in them not moving. People laying on the tee boxes. you had to see it to believe it. Total disgrace, I can't believe they charge money. Stay away far away. Only clubs needed driver and 7 iron.

Great course in very good condition. Would highly reccomend to anyone.

It took our foresome over 5 1/2 hours to play 18 holes! I probably would not play this corse on the weekend again until the off season unless they address the need for a ranger to keep up the pace of play.

Also the course ran out ou golf carts! Thats just crazy!

Really nice open course, well maintained. Must say sand bunkers are very intimidating.

Greens were quick, did not like the pin placements when the greens were on a hill, if you were above the hole, forget about getting it close. Too hard for normal golfers. It was like they were setup for the US OPEN. Other than that, great course.

Great course. Best greens in Wilmington. Fairways are ok. Pace of play is unforgivable. Staff had complaints early on but did nothing. Nearly 5.5 hours beginning with the 2nd shot of the first hole. The slow-pace means I can't recommend it to anybody.

The best time to play this course is in April and early May. In the dog days of summer the course gets baked up pretty bad because of how wide open it is. This time of year is when the course is at it's finest. The greens were soft but very fast and the fairways were very green. If you're going to play Ed Oliver you need to play it before Memorial Day

I loved it and plan on going every chance I get. Love playing with my father, great place to relax and just enjoy the game.

Enjoyed the course, very short and 2 par 4's are drivable
