IMO. only! This is a top of the line golf course in great condition. Greens are a little difficult to hold, maybe after first punching the greens they will get better..Greens are very good to putt on and run true.. Hole 16 looks a little like an afterthought, but gives you options. Was able to get a decent deal through GolfNow, and will be looking forward to playing here more..Kudos to the staff all around..

Very nice course

Great new course to play at a reasonable price. Still a lot of construction around the course but doesn’t affect your play. Only issue was some of the fairway were thin probably from lack of rain. I will return.

Course is new and greens are very hard. They haven''t had to time to soften up and hold the ball on approach shots.

Slow but memorable

This was probably my 6th time playing Wellen and it was the first time the pace of play was slow. Seems that all of the private courses have added WellenPark to their reciprocal list and they think they also own this course. Played behind a group of 4 and we were a twosome. At no time we’re we offered to play ahead. There were at times that they hit 8-10 strokes to reach a par 4. Very hard to even watch.

A ranger would come in handy to eleviate these problems. The staff is always incredible, Kelly is awesome as the cart attendant. The course is in perfect shape and the greens are fast and true. Keep up the good work.

Staff so friendly course not

The staff are so friendly and inviting here. The course not so much. The layout is very poor and not challenging. But the saving grace is high quality practice area that i would pay to use so I go for the range more then the course. Course seems to be an after thought to the community layout.

Very nice

I played the course on three occasions over the past week and I can tell you a few things. First it is hard to find, as most GPS systems don't have it listed or they route you through parts of the neighborhood that are not complete. Found google maps to be better than my vehicle gps. The course opened about 6-8 weeks ago and it is in great condition the greens roll true and are fairly fast. On a windy day the course becomes much tougher as there is only a few houses built around it. pace of play was great in the mornings, but can get very slow in the afternoons. I would highly recommend playing it now because in a few years as more houses are built, it will become very crowded and I suspect a lot more expensive. At this time the clubhouse is in a trailer and as such there are few choices for food although they have plenty of drinks and a free ice and water machine. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely play again.

Good and bad, kinda boring

The good: it’s brand new so it’s in beautiful condition and it’s one of the nicer courses you can play for $50. The bad: very poor design and layout. Has two 90 degree dogleg par 4’s and a horseshoe shaped par 5. You can get away with one of those per 18 holes, but not all three. One of those par 4’s you have to hit over trees and carry 205 to land it in the fairway but 220 puts you in the hazard, or lay up left and have 180 to the green. Silly stuff. Weird routing on some of the fairways where good tee shots disappear into penalty areas. Totally forgettable design. It’s been a while since I’ve played a newer course and there wasn’t one memorable hole. If you’re a 10 handicap or better this will be boring golf. It’s like they added a course to a development as an afterthought and had to wedge holes into peoples yards to make it work. Many of the holes you have to drive way back to the tee boxes from the cart path routing. On busy days you’re going to be pulling up blind, right into people teeing off. I don’t know, I just didn’t dig it and wouldn’t play it again. I need something with a little more pizzazz. 25 handicaps will probably love it.

Worth it

Drove down from Bradenton it was worth the ride. Directions were tricky the GolfNow address is wrong FYI. Greens were pure fairways a little dry but still good. Good layout some fun holes and some straight forward ones. Some holes you might want to change what tee box you hit from the distances are off. Staff was nice. Check it out

SLOW PLAY

No ranger and incredibly SLOW play. Two adults and two teen age children with two moms in a third cart tagging along. After nine holes, couldn’t take it anymore and played one through nine over again.

Not badfor a new course

Pretty much a brand new course, but reasonably good layout and condition. Biggest problem is that it was hard to find because it's a new development, and my GPS couldn't figure out where it was.

New Course!

Drove 1 1/2 hrs to check out this new (11 wk old) course. Was able to get a HotDeal, and was worth the cost and drive time. Course conditions were immaculate from the driving range to the putting area and from tee to green. There isn't a whole lot to look at for scenery since the area is being developed, but the on course conditions were perfect. Tee boxes flat, nicely grassed and with 6 options, great for any golfer. Fairways were like carpet, sand was beautiful white sand, and greens were true. A couple of fun holes and enough water to challenge, without ever being too much. The bunkering was amazing (very visually intimidating from the tee).

Good course that will get better over time

They just opened 2 months ago. Noisy Gas carts, but have GPS. Only have a trailer for a pro shop right now. Nice practice range.

Entire area is under heavy development for a while, this will be a real gem once everything is complete.

My only concern is that the course will go private in 2024.

How was Wellen park? You ask let me count the ways.

Played Sunday in gale force winds yet the course was still very much playable and very fun. The fun part was playing the course differently because of the wind had to keep the ball low on every shot even the approaches the wind would take your ball sailing in any direction. It wanted to putting was a challenge due to the extreme speed of the greens, which are in perfect shape, but still managed a birdie and a handful of pars. The staff is awesome as always there was not a cart attendant due to the heavy rain the night before. The backdrop gentleman were very informative and I will come play this course again and again this summer I recommend this cars to anyone who wants to have a great time on a great course with great staff.

A good 70$ course

The course was very nice well manicured not worth 149$ ever also need to put food that has substance on your cart that makes its rounds through the course . Muffins and candy won’t cut it they have companies that cater to golf courses that carry sandwiches and wraps .also a grill with hot dogs and burgers might help . Great selection of clothes in clubhouse with a fair price on them. That’s my 2 cents

Thank you for a nice round of golf
