Much improved over the past couple years.

This is one of two public courses within 15-20 minutes of my house. I have deemed this my "home course" and I am really happy to see the improves over the past couple years. The course conditions were really nice yesterday, even with some HEAVY rains the two days before. We have had issues in the past with pace. They had two even yesterday and we didn't run into any issues until 17. Even with that, our round was 4 hours on the dot. Can not complain about that.

I have golfed there twice in the past week. I will golf there a lot more this summer.

Thanks!

Great course

Great course. Unfortunately the group that was ahead of the group in front of me went so slow that it killed any rhythm I had. Hopefully next time the pace will speed up a bit more. Other than that everything else was great.

Worth the drive

We live in Carroll County and had not played at Wetlands before. We were looking for something different and chose this course based on the GolfNow price and the interest in something new. Greens were in great shape. Fairways too. Some pretty challenging shots were needed especially for never having played there before. I think we will keep this one on our "lookout list" to play again!

Wetlands, May 20, 2019

The course is in very nice condition. Some areas under repair, which is good because it means they are making improvements. Greens were in very good condition.

Wetlands golf outing

Course continues to improve. Greens varied from fast to a bit sluggish. Not sure why. Biggest thing I saw was that there is nothing with the carts to allow us to reseed divots. I would also recommend that other guests make an effort to repair ball marks in the greens. There were a few places where the green was bumpy. Some of the holes seemed to have the sod lifted at the hole making a good putt suddenly turn away from the hole within the last couple inches. Very frustrating!

An okay course for the money

The course is getting there. It was much better now that the weather has started to warm up and the grass is beginning to fill in. Some of the sand traps are more fine stone than sand. Greens are a bit bumpy but pretty average speed wise. There were a lot of grounds people working around the course and I was glad to see that they are trying to make the course better.

Nice course

This course has wide fairways and very large greens. Most holes are fairly easy, number 18 is a challenge It plays around 6000 yards from the whites. Layout and condition of course was fine. One drawback is that you can't take the cart to your car, but the walk isn't too far.

Playable

Wetlands has a unique layout that challenges you to hit precise shots if you want to score low. For the first day of spring this course was in very good shape. The fairways are plenty wide so it is playable but if you want to have a good shot at getting on in regulation, then you have to hit it to a particular part of the fairways.

Played Presidents Day 2019

Course was in good shape for late February. A little soft in spots but did not do cart path only which was incredible. Greens were in surprisingly good shape and the staff Is always friendly. I always enjoy rounds at Wetlands golf course! Highly recommend.

Playable fun course.

Fairly short course with a challenging layout. Precise shots are required if you want to score. Play when it’s warmer and you’ll enjoy yourself.

Fun, breezy, sunny, challenging outing

Wetlands has some nice challenging holes. Greens are fast and in decent condition. This course is improving and I appreciate the efforts being put forth by the owner(s) to keep it in very nice shape. There are some fairways that are being worked on and the wet weather has made it harder to make those improvements. Some greens require you to place your shot well in order for your ball to hold. Some have nice rolls to them that make them a fun challenge to roll it into the hole if you are looking at a shot that landed away from the hole. Today the sand traps were very wet. Unfortunately I got to experience several.

Overall we had a very enjoyable round. If you haven't played here, give it a try. I think you'll enjoy it.

Jerks

We booked 2 tee times two weeks in advance. We gave a credit card to hold the times and the card was charged. We specifically made the 7:30 tee time so we could watch the ravens game at 1. We get to the course yesterday and the guy in the pro shop informs us that we got pushed back to 8:00 and they put 4 groups in front of us. We couldn’t believe it. The pro shop worker started questioning whether we made the times. So we showed him the bill where it was charged on my friends card. The jerk in the pro shop was smug and didn’t apoologize. He could have made it right but he did not. Well congrats Wetlands. You just lost 8 thirty year olds that play golf once a week and will for 25 years. The course was in bad shape as well. Do not play here !!!!!

Satisfied

Top shelf course. A little burnt out in the fairways and tee boxes. Greens still in great shape. Overall i would definitely recommend this course.. Great layout , fantastic food , Friendly staff. A few things to make note of. If you book a time on Wednesday's , be prepared to be there awhile , there is a large senior group that plays on Wed. Also , the carts need to be replaced , and STAY away from cart #12 it will leave you stranded. OVERALL Grade A-. Oh and by the way , I have been wearing out my buddy's wallet on this course all summer
