Aerated Greens
Paid full price to putt on aerated greens. No mention of this prior to booking.
Greetings. We apologize that you were not aware that our greens had been aerated. We made several posts to our social media platforms, added a line for online reservation confirmations, instructed the call center to mention for phone reservations and had our staff mention for any calls that came to the golf shop. Even though we tried to make sure everyone was notified, sometimes it doesn't happen.
Ranger
Ranger yelled at our group on our 16th hole if play telling us to speed up our pace at the 3hr mark of our rd. No one was in front or behind us. We finished in 3hr 30 mins which is considered fast play. Also the greens keepers were mowing the fairways on every hole as we tried to play and not one bunker was taken care of. We were disappointed overall with how we were treated.
Thanks for sharing your feedback. I checked with both our golf ops and maintenance teams regarding the interaction on the golf course. We cannot identify anyone on our staff that spoke with you on the course. I would appreciate it if you could call the course at 302-571-9041. I'd like to get more information from you on what happened. As to the fairways and bunkers, we do apologize for the experience you had. If you call, I can explain why. Thanks!
Maybe I’m not picky
Have been a member here for last few years. Course has improved and feel it’s still a good value. Staff are always friendly. Becky the pro has helped my game a lot.. lately seem to be encouraging better pace of play, which was needed. May not be the best maintained in the area, but have always enjoyed playing here. If you want to spend more for a course in “ better” condition, ok . Sometimes basically have the course to myself. New carts this season are nice.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're glad to hear that you have been enjoying your experience at our course and that you are seeing improvement in the course conditions. Glad to hear your game is improving as well with Becky's coaching. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you again soon!
Worst 18 hole course in the area
Paid $57 at peak time on the weekend and the recent storms had the course in bad condition. There were obviously factors hurting course conditions that the staff couldn’t have done anything about but there were hardly any redeeming qualities. Besides the nice and quick greens, the fairways and rough were in pretty terrible shape. Fairways were so patchy and most tee boxes were in bad shape. Rates have gone up around the whole area but this course shouldn’t be following suit with their disappointing product. Won’t pay more than $40 to play here ever again.
Yeah, I might be, but really good quality
courses in the area
Hi Colin, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear about your experience on the course. We appreciate your honesty. Being an older course, we face some challenges that make it especially difficult for us to keep the turf as consistent as we would like in the summer. The fact that we could not get out to mow because of the heavy rains did not help. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.
Descent value
Played early morning, temp upper 70's, mid 80's when we finished. Course was very dry, therefor the fairways were patchy. Greens were in pretty good shape considering how dry every thing was. Staff was friendly and the maintenance guys turned their mowers off while we were hitting. Overall good value for the cost unlike Rock Manor, over priced.
Thank you for taking the time to post your review. If you’d like to share any details about your experience at Ed Oliver Golf Club, we are always looking for ways to improve. Please feel free to contact us directly via phone or email to discuss.
Hi Stanley, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear that you've noticed improvements in our maintenance, particularly with the greens. We appreciate your comments on the tee boxes and bunkers, and we will take them into consideration for future improvements.
Thanks for the 4 stars!
Hi James, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We appreciate your detailed review and are glad to hear that you found value in your experience with us. See you again soon.
State course
Unfortunately Delaware refuses to put money into one of its historic Courses. Fairways are very inconsistent. Greens are extremely slow. This course deserves so much better. This is a fun course but the conditions are very poor. I don’t want to review it so badly but it’s the right thing to do.
Hi Colin, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience at our course. Being an older course, we do have some unique maintenance challenges. Our team does a great job providing the best possible conditions given these challenges. You will find that our turf conditions will be much better once the extreme heat subsides. We hope you'll give us another chance this fall, if not sooner. BTW - the state does not own this course. It is leased from the city of Wilmington.
We appreciate the rating, even if it means we could have done better. We invite you to contact us directly via phone or email to improve the guest experience.
Thank you for the rating. We’d love to know more about what we did and didn’t do well so that we can better serve you in the future.
Fair play
Green were in amazing shape. Tee boxes roughed up. Sand traps need some attention. Great value. Not to difficult but you need to keep the ball in the tight fairways. Will most certainly go back.
Thank you!
Good Course
This course was in okay shape. It has been extremely hot over the last 2 weeks so everything was dried out which made puts very fast and fairway shots hit the ground and bounce all over the place.
Thanks for playing Ed Oliver and rating us. We would appreciate it if you can let us know what we can do to earn a higher rating from you next time.
