Played a few days ago. I'm in the processs of looking for a new club and this was on the list. Not any more! Pro was quiet and generally a little unhelpful (more interested in chatting to a friend), Some interesting holes and long par 3's but the majority were shortish and/or straight par 4's. Condition was fair but course improvements are limited since I last played here 7-8 years ago. Empty in clubhouse afterwards. Expensive GF - Perhaps everyone in WGC goes cycling these days.

WGC Departee rated 2 out of 5
Reviewed Feb 23 2013
I am a member and agree with the other members comments. WGC GC suffers from it's limited length in the modern game and is a little straight. Grounds staff do a good job managing this with mowing patterns against the direction of play, narrowing fairways and keeping slick greens but I suspect, with ever advancing technology, this will become an increasingly redundant course for younger longer players. You can only dine out on it being Nick Faldo's first course for so long! Membership is heavily weighted to the older generation and as such rounds can be very slow at peak periods. Members / visitors also seem to be unaware of course etiquette with pitch marks and stray balls being a real issue! Unfortunately, the problems are further exacerbated by some poor choices for committee members who seem to be interested in personal gains rather than the improvement of the club. I shall be moving on this year.

Really enjoyed playing here for the 1st time. Wide open & lush fairways, excellent greens. Not too many distinguishable holes ie a little samey but that’s a minor quibble. Great value & superbly kept. Unfortunately ran out of time to make the bar due to a slow 4 ball not letting our 2 ball through.Reviewer Rating

Good but deceptive
On the face of it this is not a very long course even off the back tees. However it undulates a lot so whilst the distances as the crow files may be x, the reality is a lot longer. Greens were not particularly quick compared to what I am used to, but there are lots of subtle slopes etc which makes putting far from straight forward. Overall a good course to play and a decent challenge. Its probably best to play with somebody familiar to the course the first time around. ?25 for a midweek round with a member.Reviewer Rating

Enjoyable Day
We enjoyed playing the course. Bunkers & greens in excellent condition. The fairways needed cutting in places, but it was apparent that they were being left to grow after being burnt up in the heat wave. Pick & Place was in operation. We felt that additional signage is needed on some holes. We came away resolved to return(Round played: Aug 2020 - Score: 95 Handicap: 22.7)
