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.
Slow play, older course
This was my second time here and honestly, still not impressed and will not be back. Very, very slow play, starter pilled on folks to make foursomes regardless of tee times and this made thing even slower. Older gas carts with no GPS on carts, no driving range. They have a green to practice putting and chipping before #1 tee. It's a short course. They are trying to make the course a little longer by moving a few tee boxes but it makes for an awkward layout. This time of year courses should play the best in my opinion. Unfortunately, you get what you pay for on this course. Other local courses are far superior and much more enjoyable. If you're a high hdcp, worth the money but for a better hdcp player look elsewhere.
dengent1, I provided a recommended 4 star rating on the course, not sure why your so defensive. You didn't acknowledge anything substantive on my review, rather indicate how, in your opinion, snobby I am. Other local courses I was referring to are Pine Hollow, Neuse Country Club, River Ridge....not Pinehurst #2, etc... These courses are currently playing much better than Wendell. I also acknowledged that renovations are being made to lengthen the course, again nothing bad. I would hope that mgmt oversee's your comments as it looks poorly on WCC and your lack of professionalism.
I have played here off and on for about 10 years. The continuous improvements being made are very good. (except the stripes on number 3. There is room for more improvement, but I say Good Job So Far in the past 4 years. Perhaps this is a better course for locals. At least we appreciate the improvements, changes and fast greens. Thanks
dbirck72, you believe that it's alright for a bunch of singles and 2-somes to follow the 4-somes and keep running right up their backs? And if you are such a low handicap player, you should be playing Pinehurst #2, The Dunes, True Blue, Briar Creek, Carolina CC, Northridge CC, and the other high class, snobby courses. What are you doing playing a regular, working-man's course?
Great Value
We haven't played Wendell since the pandemic and it has held up well over the last few years. The course conditions have improved and it's a great challenge for higher handicap golfers at a competitive price.
Wendell CC - Punches above its weight class
My expectations for Wendell CC were moderate. What a pleasant surprise that Wendell CC over-delivers! I could tell that this used to be a private country club with nice amenities. I was here for the golf, not lounging by the pool though. The Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Even though this is "The South", I will always shout-out high level hospitality. I was paired up with a couple of guys my own age. I liked the layout almost immediately. On the 3rd hole I drove my ball up the right side.
I definitely Geeked out when I found my ball in the middle of Church Pew Bunkers much like the venerable Oakmont. There are a number of unexpected design features that made playing here a bunch of fun. We were having fun until the 7th hole when one guy pulled something in his back and had to quit. We carried on as a 2some until a young guy joined us on the 10th. The front and back are very different and both enjoyable to play. If I lived around here, Wendell CC would be in my Rota.
Hello, JerryZ. Thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at Wendell Country Club. That's what we like to hear! We hope to see you again soon!
A Gem of a course
Wendall punches way above its weight. WCC looks like its been here forever. Nice layout with some surprises. I played my drive up the right on hole 3. I never imagined my ball would end up in the "Church Pews" a la Oakmont! What a cool design feature! WCC continued to delight with interesting green complexes. I would play here a lot if I lived close by. I could tell that this was a private club at one point. As one of the Hoi Polloi I am grateful. My rating would be higher, but WCC isn't Bethpage or La Jolla.
Hello, JerryZ. Thank you for visiting us at Wendell Country Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
A Very Nice Round
The gentlemen checking me in was professional and polite. There was a Ranger on the course. Greens were good - quick with a true roll. The other players on the course were friendly and respectful. Fairways were nice especially on the back nine. A very enjoyable and positive round.

Wendell cc review 8/22/2023
I’ve played this course a lot over the past 30 years. I am pleased to see the course owners putting money into improvements; (flattening several greens is an improvement, top dressing w/aeration of all greens, concerted effort to improve thickness of fairway turf). These improvements are almost finished and turf is ready for play. All the greens have improved putting services now thanks to efforts of maintenance crew.
Thank you for taking the time to review our business and for your support throughout the past 30 years. We are glad to hear that you are pleased with the improvements we have made to the course, including flattening several greens, top dressing with aeration, and enhancing the thickness of the fairway turf. We appreciate your feedback and hope to continue providing a great golfing experience for you in the future.

The owners of Wendell Country club are really make some nice changes to the course. Two new greens will be ready in September. Tee boxes with good grass, greens were rolling well, trees removed to open up some holes on the back. This course will be a great place to play in Eastern Wake County.
Thank you for taking the time to review our business. We sincerely appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you have noticed the positive changes we are making to the course. We apologize if there was any inconvenience during your visit and hope to provide an even better experience in the future.
Fixing the Par 3s
The Club is reworking a Par 3 on the front and one on the back that needed help. While the temporary greens are just that, a temporary inconvenience, the re-landscaped holes will give everyone a fair roll.
The fairways have recovered well, and the Master's pimento cheese sandwich on toast is fabulous! Don't miss it.

The owners are trying to improve the course conditions overall. Just know a couple of holes are still using temporary greens. Fairways are in good shape and tee boxes are much improved.
