Black at D. Fairchild Wheeler Golf Course

Good condition, greens and fairways in good shape for June. Some T box need help now. But that’s The Wheel

Good course(s) Black is better than the Red but both need some improvement. Some fun holes scattered throughout the course. I think the greens would benefit from better trimming.

Winder views! Fairways and greens in good shape. Tee boxes are not.

So I am only writing this because I’m ticked off at the girl working the front desk. We called on 9 and said It was 1) way to slow for us to finish 18 and 2) It was freezing cold out. Asked if we could get a rain check for the other 9 holes. Went in and the girl was trying to tell me the refund the second 9 of the 18 which would be the price different in playing 9 vs 18. She gave me and my two buddies $15 back each. That is not a rain check - idk who told her this but you all need to learn math. Even if she did It correctly - $15 back on a $70 round is basically the cart fee. Idk what’s going on over there but I am ticked off and someone needs to educate their workers - no other good course does this.

Fairways and greens are in real rough shape but it’s the beginning of the season so I’ll give them a pass. Course is super hilly but it was a fun play. Will definitely be back.

Greens were a little hairy but still rolled very well. For March the course is in fantastic condition

Pros: A decent layout on a beautiful piece of property. Cons: Lousy condition and a surly staff.

Given the amount of play there should be plenty of revenue to reinvest into the course. It was perhaps the worst conditioned course I've ever played. I suspect the city and it's corrupt politicians skim off as much as they can for other purposes. It is too bad because this could be a destination public golf course with some thoughtful investment and a talented superintendent.

It is a little hilly but friendly, too.

We were walking this time, so it was a little bit complex.

Most people ride, it will be ok.

The course had a lot of debris/ storm branches etc. down on the ground.

The Tee markers weren’t out.

The Black course has a number of hills so walking is a workout. The course looks great and the staff is friendly.

I played a round of fallen leaves; not golf balls. With 75% of the leaves already fallen off the trees, it is inexcusable that a majority of the course fairways were inundated with leaves that created lost balls after very good tee shots. The municipal course management is being too lazy or end-of-season budget cheap - or both - and obviously doesn’t care about course playability.

No tee markers, unfixed ball marks all over the greens. Overall horrible conditions. Will not return!

Excellent course, some good hills to climb - especially 18 if you're walking. The course is in great shape. The staff is always friendly and helpful.

It would be easier to book a tee time if the online reservation system allowed me to pay at the Senior rate.

Thank you to all of the staff and groundskeepers for keeping the course in such great shape.

My brother and I played the course yesterday for first time in years and were both pleasantly surprised what great shape it was in considering the past 2 storms that saturated it over the last 2 weeks. Starter friendly and got us off early as there was a lull in tee times. Greens were smooth and about a 10 on speed scale. Fairways were a little moist but drying out quickly with the abundant sunshine. Routing was excellent and not too tricky. There are a couple of blind shots, but a quick walk or ride ahead gives you proper landing area. Weather was sunny and 80 degrees. Had lunch after in on-site tavern and burgers were very good and homemade french fries were also great. All in all a great day.
