Wellen Park Golf & Country Club

Course recently opened but already is in A plus condition. No weeds, no bare spots, no negatives. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the layout. WE caught up to 4some on 9 tee who were pretty slow but refused to let us through even though the group ahead of them was long gone. A ranger could have solved that problem.

Played many of golf courses in the 75 mile radius of Venice, this golf course will rate among the top 10 in the area…Needs a year of maturity and on course amenities to be somewhat complete.. Also for a new course price rates need to come down..This is my opinion only..

Course has been open for 14 days and overall course was in good condition. Amenities are non existent two porta potties on each nine. One cart person who we finally saw at 14 hole. Pricing is excessive for current conditions. Also really difficult to find had to ask golfers on one of the t’s near the road where do you go. Google maps gets you to vicinity not to check in and NO SIGNS.

Great new course. Fun aqua range. Going to be beautiful and even tougher when all the trees and plants grow in.

People in trailer pro shop outstanding. The whole staff glad to see you come out. Played in 3.5 hours green grass on fairways. Excellent shape with great rolling greens

This course is ready 6 days open when we played and it was unbelievable it was 100% grown in. Greens were fast and true. We are excited to see how incredible it looks in another year!!!

Taking into account that this was the first week that the course was open, things were great. Course conditions were perfect and the course layout was challenging but gettable. The practice area was probably the first indications to me that the course would be first rate. It really caught my eye, the condition of the turf and how beautiful it looked when I arrived. Kudos to the grounds keeper and all his staff for great work on preparing the course and the maintenance

One question? This is the first time I have seen tees numbered and not designated by color. Is this unique to your course or the trend in golf going forward?

Thanks again for the enjoyable round.

Might be ok in 5 years but now its just an open field

Course is a more executive style course with 150 yd first and second shots on dogleg

Old gas carts no signage for course or on course

Cart maps are useless

Good for older couple with money or if u live out there but long way to drive for a mickey mouse golf course - blatant rip off for the money they charge

First of all the map and directions are incorrect. The course is overpriced considering it just opened and there are no services etc. The greens are slow because of all the sand on them . The fairways and bunkers and greens are in good condition. There are a couple of holes on the front that make you think the designer has never played golf. Horseshoe dog legs that are ridiculous. You must wait after hole 5 to make sure the golfers on hole 6 have teed off. Impossible to see unless you drive right into the golfers as they are teeing off. Very dangerous. The port a potties are disgusting. Probably why there were several men urinating on the course. The port a potties will be overflowing in a few days if they aren’t emptied soon. The cart person was nice and friendly. Very old gas powered carts. The staff is friendly. Definitely overpriced.

Course open just 1 week so obviously going through some growing pains.

My observations:

- staff very helpful and friendly

- fairways and greens and tee boxes in very good condition considering open only 1 week

- Greens not as fast as they’ll probably be after a few months

-Front 9 more open and playable than back 9 despite being longer

- back 9 shorter but tighter

- there are some funky layouts on a few holes, including some right to left shots around lakes, ponds, etc.

- the gos on the carts doesent match the scorecards.

- Some holes are markedly shorter than the scorecard indicates

- $149 rate a bit high for the current course conditions/ off course amenities ( which are not available yet)

Just opened greens need to mature but still in good shape

tough to find so leave early. Carts ran out of gas, gps didn’t work. Porta Potties only and they haven’t been emptied or cleaned since they started building the course apparently. Driving range was great, staff was very friendly. The course itself was very nice and fun to play. Not worth 150bucks yet
