Solid Conditions
Played on 3/14. Round took 4 hours and 10 mins. Overall not bad. Conditions were excellent. They had really been watering the grounds, I assume due to the close proximity of the wild fires in Carolina Forest. Back 9 seemed a little dryer, but that could just be from being mid morning. Greens rolled true and were in great shape. Sneaky creeks crossed many of the fairways that you couldn't see from the tees. Enjoyable round!
Overpriced & Slow Play
While the course was in overall good condition for February, I do think it was considerably overpriced. Very slow play as well. 5 hour round.
Wizard
Good value. Greens were recently punched so bumpy putting for sure. Came with a coupon for a couple of beer and hot dog.
Cold and Windy
The day was extremely cold with overcast skies and strong winds
The greens had been aerated and have not filled in yet so putting was an adventure
The rest of the course was in good shape\
Just a tough cold, windy golf day
Fast &² free lunch
The round was fast 1-4:30 pm with free lunch hot dogs & drinks. Unfortunately the aeration of the greens affected putting but a good days golfing
Course was over watered due to over seeding
The course was way to wet to play properly due to excessive over watering
Standing water in the middle of every fairway
This was unusual as the course is generally in great shape
Too wet
The course is nice but this round was sloppy wet and cart path only but not from rain but over watering over seeded fairways. We should have went elsewhere
Avoid at all costs!!
Bag drop and snack bar staff were nice but pro shop guy was a major jerk. I booked a 1 pm tee time as a single. It wasn’t busy at all but he wouldn’t let me go early or by myself. I wanted to hit the road early since I had a 3 hr drive after golf. He said it would cost $20 to go earlier. I looked up earlier tee times on GN and they cost only $4 more. Still he was defiant and rude. So I left and went to MBN Kings North where I spent $40+ on food and drinks that I would’ve otherwise spent at The Wizard. No wonder why The Wizard is targeted for redevelopment into a subdivision.
Highly recommend
Great layout. Good condition.
Staff was excellent!
