Dry

It’s been dry and it is really showing on this course. Some greens are in really rough shap, others are good. We need rain, or they need more irrigation.
Staff were very friendly and the golfer’s platter was really good.

Good day of golf

We got in on a hot deal, and we walked. So good value for a decent course. If you are a scratch golfer and used to high price country clubs, you may be disappointed. But for us humans its a nice course.

Value golf

I really like the layout of this course, and the walking rate is a good deal. However, the tee boxes are in terrible shape, and parts of the fairways are showing the dry conditions we are experiencing.

We walked 18 holes in 3.5 hours, so pace of play for a Friday afternoon was pretty good.

It must also be said that they are taking the Covid pandemic seriously and I really appreciate that.

Nice little course

Great course to work on your short game. Longer than an executive par three shorter than a regulation course.
Course was in great shape, and we got 18 holes in, in just over 3 hrs.

Please work on your tee boxes

Tees look like they have not seen grass seed since the street of the season. Fairways were dry, but we haven’t had much rain lately.

Great value for the money, and played in just under 4 hours. Can’t argue with that.

Love this place

Course was in great shape. Staff are very friendly and pace of play was good. We did 18 in just under 4 hours.
With COVID the service is solid. Care is taken with cleaning and social distancing. Food was excellent on the patio.

In good shape and takes social distancing seriously

Course was is good shape and staff were friendly and helpful. Pace of play was excellent, until two groups caught up to a slow group on the back nine. I really like the red course, gold and blue are ok. My issue with Brookfield is the layout. If you don't play with someone who knows the course, you better keep your eye on the group in front and hope they know the way. More signage would be appreciated.

Course is in great shape

We were a twosome, and it took just over 4 hours to play. It wasn’t us, or the two guys in front of us, or the two in front of them, by the two in front of them that were so slow. Got to the back nine and things picked up, until we ran up to a group of four walkers. Other than the pace of play, things were great.
Nice course and great staff.

Nice course

I like playing this course. It's enough of a challenge but not crazy difficult.

The new checkin system is a pain, you have to cross over and intermix with the bar and food customers. Staff are nice enough.

Course was in good shape. Some of the very long grass in the rough had been cut back a bit, which was nice. I really like the addition of the club cleaners on the par 3's.

We'll be back.

I do wish the greens were in better shape, and that the rough was cut back a bit.

Better than last year

This is one of my favourite courses for layout and challenge. Wasn’t very impressed with the conditions last year, so was happy to see it was in better shape this year. The greens still need work, but the fairways were good, and the course looked healthy. I’d prefer if they cut the rough down a bit, but it certainly is omen of the courses defences.

Looking forward to another good season here.

Fantastic if you don’t putt

I love the layout of this course. It’s a fun and challenging course to play. The course was in pretty good condition with the notable exception of the greens. They are mostly sand, and were the same last year. That’s sad because the first time we played here in 2014, the whole course was in great shape.
One sad indicator of the level of care for the course was the worst sod job I’ve ever seen. Two inch gaps between sod rolls and sod just sitting on old turf leaving a two inch ledge. Brutal.
Love the place and it has a great view for a post game beverage, but the quality of work being done on the course is a sign that it will not be improving soon.

Great recovery

We come to Myrtle Beach every spring. Last year the course had taken severe ice damage and was in bad shape. This year, the greens were immaculate and the course in general was in great shape. It was a quiet day, so our foursome of two couples played our round in under 4 hours.
Best greens we’ve played this week, I highly recommend this course for mid to high handicap players. Fairways are quite generous.

Showing signs of dry weather

I haven't seen Wildwinds' fairways look this rough in a while. Not all of them, but there are brown patches on a number of fairways. Greens had been aerated a while a go, and while coming back fairly well, were still kinda bumpy.
Pace of play was really slow. there were par three holes with two or three groups waiting to tee off.
The pro shop staff are great, very friendly. But try to get a sandwich or a beer. They were nowhere to be seen, and no bell to call them.
This used to be my favourite local course, but it's gone downhill the last year or two.

Haven't been to Vic East in a year or so. It won't be that long before we go back.

Course was in great shape, and has a great layout. Enough blocks that anyone from low to high handicap can enjoy it.

Wonderful greens

Pace of play is always an issue at Acton, but it was a gorgeous day and the course was in great shape, so that made up for it. Best greens we've played in this year.
