Great Value

Great Value for the course and an interesting lay out. We went on a busy Sunday afternoon during the PGA Championship, so the course was busy. Pace of play was well maintained, though, and it was an enjoyable round. Greens were in good shape (though fast). Certainly worth the money for an easy/quick round.

Too early to tell

Tee boxes are shot, fairways are decent, greens were deceiving. Although they appeared to had been punched, they played really nice. Very fast aside from a couple spotty greens. This is a difficult time of year to judge golf courses. Grass is just starting to grow well. Plan on going back in a couple of months to see how the course has grown in. Have always loved the course and the staff, hope to see it in the shape I remembered it being in after a bunch of money had been put into it. One thing I will say for sure is, pace of play was absolutely phenomenal. Played a foursome with two of my buddies who are terrible, took four and a half hours. We hadn’t seen another group until hole 17. Had the course to ourselves.
Enjoy if you play, definitely a place to have an enjoyable round with some buddies.

One of my favorite courses but the pace of play is terrible.

Let me start this review off with the positive. I love this course. It may be my favorite one ever. It has always been a good deal for someone like me who likes playing and carrying his own bag on a budget. I love the layout. Driver isn’t required or encouraged on a lot of the par 4s, but the par 5s, if you’re confident and commit to your target, you can make an aggressive rip at it and set yourself up to score. The greens are deceptively tough. Especially with certain pin locations playing with wind, and you never want to be on the wrong side of any pin placement on this course. It requires you to think to play well and I love it. The only drawback, and it has never changed in the 10+ years I’ve played this course is that pace of play absolutely sucks. Especially on the back nine. I know any course wants to optimize the amount of tee times they can push out there, but I always find myself aggravated because almost every time, without fail, I find myself on 12 tee, waiting on the group in front of me to get a move and from that point on, I’m standing on the tee box at least 10 minutes before my group can tee off and by 18, I’m over it. I have such a soft spot in my heart for this course, I always come back.

Nice greens

The greens are much improved over the last time I played there. Their fairways have some nice grass growing and overall it’s a very nice course to play.

A beautiful day in the neighborhood

I had a great round of golf today at Wil-mar golf course. The course is out in a rural setting and is scenic for the most part. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The weather was perfect and I shot a 94 which is my lowest score to date. I went there by myself but was paired up with another golfer. We teed off at 11:30 and were not slowed down by anyone playing ahead of us. This course is a great value for the money.
