Golf Club At Wescott Plantation - Oak Forest Course
Played On 01/06/2019Course should have been closed
Course was a complete wet mess, almost every step was a “squash, squash, squash”. With a lot of traffic later in the day l’m sure the fairways were well chewed up. The tee boxes were all messy with many of the markers placed in the rough in front or behind the flat areas. This was a total waste of my money and day.

We are so sorry to find that we disappointed you on your visit. During the winter months, most of the golf course vegetation drifts into dormancy while the temperatures are too low to produce growth. Thus, the grasses have no need for water. Our fairways are clay-based (which like to retain water), whereas our greens are sand-based (and drain very well). The course must rely on winds from the north to realistically dry the fairways and rough. The sun is lower on the horizon and produces a lessened heat intensity that does not encourage rapid (if any!) evaporation during the winter months. The historical monthly rainfall average for December is 3.1”. This year our rain gauges indicated 10.4” of rainfall during this period- more than three times the normal average. Mother Nature was on a weekly pattern that would produce excessive amounts of rain that compounded throughout the month and never gave us an opportunity to dry out and get our heads above the water! (Yes, the bad pun was intended!) During this time period, the golf course has indeed suffered and I apologize that your experience was not up to par. Sorry, …did it again. Conditions are improving daily. I hope you give us another try.
