A good course to practice, not a true test
Given that this is a public course, it was not a challenging course but a fair one if you kept the ball straight.. The tee boxes were in good shape; the greens in excellent shape, the sand traps were not manicured. and there was plenty of weed build up in more than a few. Pro Shop staff very friendly. Easy to navigate the course. Effective distancing when i played given the environment..
Good value
Booked tee time with golf now great deal people were very nice in club house and on course took my girlfriend she had a great time course was in very good shape will diffently go back
Best Value in the Area
I’ve return to muni being my home course after not playing it for 5+ years. I am shocked at the changes, it is still not on the level as Blue Ridge or Sand Springs but what it does it price. I’ve played twice this week and 5 times this year and each time the course is in a little better shape. The greens are much better then they used to be (only remember one green having a significant burn mark) outside of that, the green were pretty good. The fairways are actual fairways again, the rough has two or three cuts depending on the hole, the point is they are improving, while maintaining a great value. I will be returning again.
Course in Nice Shape
Course is in nice shape. Greens ate very nice. Pace of play was very good.
Good round of golf
I have played here a few times in the last month. Course is in pretty good shape. Definitely will be back.
Great conditions compared to the last few years
First time at the course in over 4 years. New management took over 3 years ago an has made some improvements. Greens are little slow but in much better shape. Only got to play 13 because of some afternoon Thunderstorms but overall I will be returning this year.
W.B. Muni
I'd rate the course 8 outta 10. Total deal for 25 dollars. Played in 4 hours. I'd recommend playing. Bar was closed due to Covid so couldn't sit down for a beer afterwards but totally understandable. Staff is super cool and friendly, I'd would recommend playing.
W.B. Muni
Overall the course was in good shape. I'd give it an 8.5 outta 10. For 25 dollars or less well worth it. Bar was closed but with Covid totally understandable. They do have new carts as well. I'd totally recommend.
Wiles Bare CC
I was as impressed with the course. Wide fairways and forgiving. It was nice to play a course with water.
Well on the way back!!
I played here this summer and wrote a review about how hard the group at WB Muni is working to return the course to its original glory. Played again yesterday and the progress is fantastic. Keep it up!
The Muny
Needs work for more even tees and some green and fairways are spotty.. lot of divot holes no one fixes.. if people took care of they’re own play the greens and fairways would manage themselves. I’ve played there for years and it’s been worse.. it’s coming along but golfers need to commit to fixing what they can regarding divots and chunked balls. Still a challenge from whites and blues is a definite challenge..
Not impressed
Will not be going back, there are nicer courses in the area that are in much better condition.

This course needs work
This course has largely gone to the hackers. It takes way to long to play 18 with most people not understanding etiquette. Also employees don’t seem to mind cutting right in front of shots or stoping play to change a hole as your hitting into that green. This course needs some serious work.
