About Wisp Resort

Wasn't as bad as recent reviews

Read recent reviews and was pleasantly surprised. The greens were in good shape. The fairways weren't bad either. The bunkers lacked sand but for the $35 greens fee, it was a decent course

Alotta money for meh...

I dare say overrated.... The fees you pay at times to play this course, and the conditions you get do not match up. The bunkers are not well kept at all. You can see the tarp that is supposed to be under sand in many bunkers... #9 a glaring example. There are completely burnt and cracked soil feet off the green. Moss is on some greens. Not a single person that played before us owned a divot tool. Ha! Simply put, I expect much more from this course. People here are great.

“Lodes”tone of Fun

Course lived up to the hype! Hot Deal for $50 was the reason we stopped here on our annual trip. Friendly staff, and immaculate course conditions made for an unbelievable experience. Shot a little above average (84), but just a great excuse to go back!

East Coast Mountain Gem

Wow. What a layout. Huge greens. The folks who give this place a bad review must be mulit-millionaires who golf in snobby private clubs. I'm Joe Golfer. Ive never been to a cooler, more laid out, epic golf course. Everything in really nice shape. Your greens fee includes a driving range session which nicely adds to the value. For $85 a golfer on Labor day w golfpass I felt it was a great value for the massive scale and layout of this awesome course. I'll be back to bring friends, and impress them with this epic golf course. I would upload pictures but the app is not allowing me, however I will be uploading a YouTube review.

Always a treat. Bunkers need attention. Greens are consistent and could be faster. Not a drab hole on the course.and many are spectacular. Wildlife abounding. Saw many deer, Turkeys and even a bear this time! Hoping all the real estate development is a good sign of survival and growth for this track.

Needs maintenance

The course is nice but for the price you would expect more. The bunkers are untended. Some had exposed corrugated pipes and grass growing. Had to play them as ground under repair. The greens had huge dead spots around the aprons. They ruined the layout when they eliminated some of the nicest holes and added a par 3 from the fairway of an old par 4.

Nice course not what it used to be

The course is still very nice with a great layout but they have let parts of it go. Especially the bunkers, there is grass growing in most of them. The road in and parking area is gravel and very dusty, seems not finished but it has been this way for years. No beverage cart. No water on the course.

Love the course. The sand traps are in poor condition and need work. Some of the holes with water had too many geese. The goose droppings were everywhere, on the greens, fairways, tees and actually the roughs. That was a problem on about 5 holes. They need to get rid of the critters somehow. They are more than an annoyance.
