Great Course Until Staff Ruined It

The angry pro shop attendant kicked my group off the course while we were in 18’s fairway hitting our shots onto the green because it was “past the time carts were due in & getting dark”! The cart boy had carts lined up to clean & our group could have easily finished in 5-10 minutes while he was still getting caught up. The pace of play was very slow & no starter or ranger patrols the course to speed up play & then they kick you off the course when you don’t finish in time! Quite the business model for a golf course & way to grow the game! I won’t be returning to this course or recommending it to anyone which is a shame because it’s a fun layout & normally in good condition.

Green

Some of the greens are very different. They have a lot of slope are very fast. And they tend to place the pins where if you are short the ball will run back off the green. You can easily 4 put some of the greens. The fairway are still very thin and hard.

Fun course to play pace of play was slow

Tee time was 4:10pm and did not finish 4 holes of play before darkness. Front 9 took us 45 min. to play two holes. There were groups walking and riding in 1, 2 and 4.

Terrific Value

Overall good experience. Nice place off the beaten path with decent amenities. I would like to mention that the Par 3 greens are brutal. So severely sloped given the small size and pins on ridges that make putting impossible.

Needs work

Fairways barely have any grass growing, very hard ground like concrete makes it tough to hit a good shot. The greens are fast as usual but were covered in leaves and dark green weeds that need to addressed asap. Very good grill and pace of play was good despite being packed.

Devil Root

I see an issue developing with the devil root weed.
Small clumps of foreign grass on green surface that can
knock putts off line. The roots of the clumps go deep,
so removing one by one probably not practical.
I hope the superintendent can find a spray or some way to get ahead of this. Overall, greens are still good, fast.

Relaxing no pressure golf

This was my first time to Wendell even though I live in Clayton. Never realized it was so close. Firth time out so the course served it purpose. Fairways were hard surface hard to get under the ball. The greens were challenging. Overall we had a great experience.
