Rude staff

Overdoing the China virus nonsense in a big way! No flexibility there’s no reason for them to make people wait to clear a green before you tee off. All under the guise of the lovely china virus

Self inflicted slow play.

All was fine except pace of play.
Apparently with short daylight, course starts with split tees( tee off on both nines) with no slot for back nine to turn to. Our tee time was 11:50. Starter( who was very nice), said they were running on time, with tee times every ten minutes.. After the 11:40 teed off, we pulled into position and were told another group, turning from back, was ahead of us. Course was packed, so obviously this led to very slow play. Situation was verified when group that was worked in did not play back nine. So, Wil-Mar has built in slow play on busy days. Suggest groups starting on back on busy days understand they are either playing nine holes, or will be on standby for an opening.

Hello. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and to best control pace allowing everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve, and we are glad to see you rated the course conditions to be great during your game. Thank you for playing Wil-Mar Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Issues with cup placement

I play this course 10 - 15 times a year. The only criticism I really have is the cups are always put near the edge of the greens on most of the holes. This limits the use of the greens, effects the score adversely and overall makes for an unpleasant golf experience. I have spoken tom other golfers while playing and the consensus is the same.

Almost perfect

The day was great, the course was in great shape and overall the 4 of us had a great time. One weakness was mask wearing. ALL the staff needs to wear a mask when inside the building, even when pouring beers., This pandemic is real and not over yet. Now that I got that out, 5 Excellent and 1 good is great in my book/

WOW! WHAT A DAY

Y'all do a terrific job with your course. It was a great day and we all played well. Came down to the last hole and I am fairly certain the other guys cheated, lol. In any event had a great time. One sidetone, please do a better job with masking inside Bogey's.

Thanks
