This golf course is in great condition and presents a fair challenge. The greens and fairways are perfectly maintained and make for a great test of golf. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Overall, this is a wonderful place to play golf.

The greens and fairways are in great condition, and the course provides a fair challenge. It's well maintained and drained, even after a heavy downpour.

massively disappointing

WKGC has a good reputation but we thought it incredibly poor. It was in the worse condition of any club we've played in the last two years. Greens were soft and bobbly with mud on them and fairways in terrible condition. Nice club but the course needs some TLC.

Pretty course in good condition

It was super hot, but greens and fairways were great and a fair test of golf. We will come back again for sure.

Haven't played this course in many years but it was a welcome return meeting up with old golfing friends.
The course was in good condition and have benefitted from increase membership over the COVID-19 lockdown period like most clubs.

Lovely albeit tricky course

Short course relatively in distance although you have to plot your way round the course intelligently. Some great holes including the par 5, 7th and a great par 3 on the 16th. Highly recommended
