Wellen Park Golf & Country Club

Great day on the links. My wife and I enjoyed playing with Andy and Ed thanks guys

Greens were awesome . A couple of funky holes . Over all good round ..

Fun course to play because you can’t bully it and to have to hit good golf shots. Their is a ton of residential construction and they haven’t built a cart barn or clubhouse but the golf course is nice and fun to play.

The course has a good layout. Greens are fast and roll true. Like most courses, it’s a bit treacherous if you’re above the pin. The fairways and rough needs a few more years to fill in, but for being 1 year old, it’s not bad. I was only in a couple bunkers, but they seemed consistent. I enjoyed the round.

We paid $75 to play, including cart. A fair price. I would not pay the prime season rate of $150, but a lot of people do. I’d like to play it again, and probably will before the rates go up. Once that happens, I’ll play with friends in the Punta Gorda area, or some of the tracks near Sarasota. I’m here to escape the cold and swat the pill a couple times per week - that’s it.

The course is as fun to play and in great shape. I’m looking forward to playing it again.

I’m not sure what you mean by off-course amenities.

Not very hard. A free nice holes. Great shape for being so new

Tees, fairways,and greens are excellent. Just a modular unit for a clubhouse right now. Nice ,very playable course.

Course is in good shape overall. Just wished people would repair their divots and ball marks

There were no bathrooms other than porta-potty’s. The restroom facilities were closed with the exception of one that smelled like a cesspool. Disgusting!

Pace of play was so slow, waiting for every shot. We were paired with two teenagers that were so bored waiting, they started clowning around after every shot. Since we were waiting we got to watch the 4-some in front of us. At least 8-10 tee shots were sent from each tee box. I am certain that their average score must have been around 150. I complained to the starter at the turn and he basically said he couldn’t fix it. They need a Ranger that can move things along.

I would sacrifice the extra folks at the bag drop and the pro-shop and use a Ranger.

This place has gotten worse since it first opened. Extremely disappointed!

Would have been 5 stars across the board if the clubhouse wasn’t still in a trailer.

I’ll play this again it’s probably the nicest course in the in in Venice area..

Lots of construction and it will be years before this looks like a real golf course, course is moderately challenging and greens need more time to mature. Good value while construction going on, not good if they raise prices later on.

OK course, spoiled by playing on a construction site. With many great courses in the Venice area, this won’t be one that I’ll be rushing back to. Riverview, Jac West, Sarasota National and Myakka Pines are all much better layouts. At a similar price.
