Wilmington Country Club: South

Review

“The shot options are what stands out most for the South course at Wilmington CC. Most of the par 4's have subtle doglegs that invite a player to cut off yardage by carrying a bunker or stand of trees. Conversely the fairways are not overly tight and player can hit conservative tee shots that leave longer approaches that are not from the optimal angle. Standout risk/reward holes are #3-5 that have greens cut hard against water features with difficult possible pin positions."

“Each putting green contains several distinct sections, and demands strategy to allow the best angle to attack on the approach shots. A green in regulation is not necessarily a 2-putt, and can often require imagination in traversing across greens as multiple breaks in a putt is not uncommon. The large, firm and receptive greens, coupled with very true rolls make putting at WCC very invigorating. "

“The course receives high marks for being challenging from the blue tees with long carries and thick rough while being reasonably playable from average golfers due to extensive tree removal following a tornado in summer 2020."

Review

“Big, undulating greens on show with some notable alternations such as at 5, 10, 12, 13 & 17 where some interesting pins can be placed near to bunkering or small green areas. 17 in particular is like a three leaf clover with water in front and a back bunker dividing two "leaves" of green space. "

“With the recent tornado taking out many trees, #5 is one hole that left an option to take the drive down the 16th fairway because of the dogleg. More bunkering was placed on the inner side of the dogleg but is certainly an awkward hole without the trees. A few too many straight holes lowers the shot options here with not much to think about on the drive or approach. One example is #6 which plays as a short uphill par 4 with a wedge into an elevated green. Without the trees it's a straight shot fairway with a huge area out to the left to play to."

“From the first greeting as we arrived, to golf professional staff, to top notch caddie; the Wilmington experience was excellent, and I had the feeling this is an every day experience for members and their guests. Same can be said about the Wilmington South golf course which I consider a premier track. Views from 5/16 and the landing area after the drive on 3 are spectacular. There is a lot of history in the area, and the golf course reflected it. "
