Great course. Greater value.

If you are looking for a solid course, that provides some difficulty and is a lot of fun, Ed Oliver is a perfect choice. I keep going back to this course because you can’t beat it for the price.

Ed Oliver

Everything was average or below average. I’ve never played anywhere you have to dodge golf balls from players on the next hole..
I would not want to play here again.

Great value course

In the Wilmington are, you'd be hard pressed to find better value for 18 holes or golf. The work they are putting in also looks great.

Tees, Greens, Fairways were great. The overall terrain in the rough is very rough, full of ruts and bare spots ( no grass at all)
