We took a chance on Wendell CC based on the reviews.. We came with low expectations... And I guess in a way the good news is that our expectations were met.

First the positives :
Super friendly staff - A+
Newish bermuda Greens are fast and roll true - A+
Pace was great for a Saturday, very little waiting - A-

Now the Bad:
Conditions are pretty bad... It's clear the club has suffered from long term funding issues... Very poor turf coverage and the horrific winter rain has clearly made things worse.

Poanna appears to be the primary grass... Again, without sufficient funding it's impossible lto keep Poanna at bay.

65% of Tee Boxes were mostly Poanna
35% of Tee boxes were mostly dirt

New Bermuda Champion greens roll true, are fairly fast (a good thing) but sadly just one year after the installation of the new bermuda Greens, poa is invading badly... A few of the greens already covered in the 40% range with poa... The majority had poa invasion in the 20% range. I hope the ownership can find ways to avoid a complete poa takeover of the very nice bermuda Greens.
