Fun

I got out very early so pace was fine, but it certainly looked busy behind me. Course was fun. Pretty wide open but the defense is certainly in the greens.

Changes for the better.

Fairways growing in nicely and greens nice as always. Couple of greens redone and some new tee boxes make the course much better. Great course for the money. Would recommend for any golfer to play here.

Fun Layout

The greens are very good...tho smallish.
Two par 3 greens have been recontoured and are now very playable. Fairways are still dormant but not too thin. Fun place to play every once in awhile. The staff is very friendly.

Great value for the money.

Considering it was winter conditions the course played well. The greens ran true while I was pleasantly surprised at the overall play of the course. For the money it was well worth it.

Friendliest Place

Staff was so friendly and polite. Loved the course layout and it was well taken care of. I will be making the drive 45 minutes and pass many other closer courses to come back to Wendell for this.

Could be really nice.

Biggest thing I noticed is that the whole course seemed very dry. Fairways were dry and thin. Greens were hard as a rock and grain was always going downhill, so good luck trying to get the ball to settle on any downhill chips. More water time for the course would solve most this issue, imo. Other than that everything else was pretty decent, other than maybe a tee box here and there.

A pleasant afternoon in the sun

It was a lovely sunny day, and given back in the UK it's been truly winter weather it was nice to wear shirt and shorts in November to play a round of golf.
The course was dry, but too many leaves just left to the whim of the wind. Greens we firm if not hard, but they did ruin true. Lots of subtle borrows to allow for.
I hired a set of clubs for $25, not as expensive as other courses I've played, but an ancient driver, 2 hybrids 2 7 irons and nothing less than a 6 iron didn't make up for the price.
Whilst i wouldn't rush to play it a 2nd time it was on the whole enjoyable

Old Short Course

Course is tucked away in Wendell, not bad but it's older and needs work. They are trying to update things and one guy mentioned they reworked some greens. Overall, not bad but not to my liking. Greens were inconsistent at best

Lots of excitement, but fair to the player

Re-graded greens have much improved course fairness on 2 par threes. Lots of water and some sand to make for exciting shots. Greens are fast, but run true.
