First Time Playing

First time playing, and I greatly enjoyed myself. The course conditions overall were very good except for the fact that the 6th and 12th (both par 3s) greens were recently "replaced" for lack of a better word. That means temporary greens were created, which was effectively placing a pin in the fairway leading into the green. Sadly, it's practically impossible to play those holes since you can't putt on them.

The 13th hole (which the staff didn't mention) is temporarily a par 3 as the fairway is roped off. I'm guessing it's for similar maintenance/renovations. They've placed a temporary tee box towards the end of the fairway.

While I'm thrilled that the course is taking seriously keeping the course in good shape and fixing what needs fixing, it does feel a bit unfair to have to pay full price as you're only really play 15-16 holes instead of 18.

It would also be nice to have a proper driving range instead of the hitting nets. While that is obviously expensive and requires lots of land, an alternative could be to install some relatively simpler launch monitors so that users can gain some basic numbers on their shots as they warm up.

Had a great time

Was placed in a foursome with 2 singles and a pair...had an absolutely great time. A couple of holes are under repair but when they are ready? Folks will be very happy with the results. Have always enjoyed this course.and will continue to play. Excited to see how the renovations turn out on those 2 holes under repair.

Fun to play

Fun to play golf course without much trouble and really the only defense is the undulating greens. The greens are a little sparse in places and could be a little faster but it does get a lot of play these days with so many in wake county selling out for housing developments. They are trying to make improvements too which is nice to see.

Rain was forecasted so course was relatively empty resulting in no waiting and a fun round. It didn’t rain to make it even better.

Back nine is under maintenance. Course is in really really rough conditions right now. Need to fire and hire a landscaping department

The back nine primarily was really poor shape. Greens were very patchy. Can tell whoever is controlling their course maintenance, has no idea what they are doing. Wouldn’t expect this course to look good until next year with how poor it is.

Decent course, but back 9 in poor shape

I like the course, but several holes on back 9 under repair and they didn’t tell us. We skipped one hole entirely due to mud. Not sure if we were supposed to skip it. Group behind us played it.

All I can say is Wow

I took my two sons to play golf there yesterday. Almost $150 to play on that track. I could play The Neuse in Clayton and pay about the same amount for a much better experience. This course is all chewed up. Putts are bumpy going through the weed infested plinko board called a green. 1/2 the course roped off. Hit so many fairways and was rewarded with no grass, just dirt because they're "doing maintenance." This track used to be $25-30 and was nice if you just wanted to work on your game. Now they're charging as much as anyone in johnston county but are not upholding their end of course conditions. Staff is as FRIENDLY as anyone. Not their fault, they cant control what's being offered but golfers BEWARE go somewhere for the same money and get value. None here. WCC, bring your old prices back, all you're gonna do is lose business. I'll play 50× at $25 a round = $1250. Ill play 1X at what you charged me yesterday = $143 (for3). Smart business 101. You don't have the course to charge what you're charging.
