What an absolute gem of a course….not only in NC, but in the United States. This course is everything you want a municipal course to be: a beautifully maintained Donald Ross design, contagious energy and busyness, and friendly staff. Both times I visited the course, there were just so many people enjoying their round and it was impactful to see just how popular golf has become over the last few years. Highly recommend this course!

This was a really fun experience on a Donald Ross original! for the price point. it's really hard to beat and complain so with that said, I probably had higher than realistic expectations. from what I had been told while it did somewhat disappoint, I had to be realistic and come to the conclusion. it was still a municipal golf course at the end of the day and probably one of the better available! it does however not hold a candle to the Charleston Muni after playing them both back-to-back weeks. I can tell you the Charleston Muni is far and beyond the better of the two courses and it's not even close. That's not taking anything away from the Wilmington municipal. they just obviously don't have the monetary funds that have gone into the Charleston Muni the last few years. I'm glad I checked it off my list but I'm not sure I would play it again. that being said, if you are visiting Wilmington and need a public golf course for the Price I'm sure it's difficult if not impossible to beat. really nice track. by far my favorite hole was number three a very daunting par 3. extremely difficult to hold with a fall off on every side! would love to drop some balls and play this one again

Really, my only complaint is that we didn't tee off until a good 30 minutes after our scheduled tee time.. we were told there were a few groups ahead of us for some reason. Pace/scheduling management issues aside, the course is great for a municipal. Greens were well maintained, fairways were decent, bunkers were clean. Medium difficulty, good number of hazards. We enjoyed it a lot!

The course itself has a great layout and is in good shape, The one star rating is due to the pace. A 5 hour golf round is completely unacceptable. The course has a 2 hour and 20 minute pace allotment for 9 holes. That is ridiculous. Also allowing a 16-20 man scramble on a Saturday morning in the middle of regular Saturday play is really ridiculous. Everybody playing behind that group had a long, long round. For the fortunate golfers who were in front of them, they probably had a good day playing at a reasonable pace. I find it interesting that the same people get the good morning times there every week. For a supposedly open Tee Time booking system, it's always the same people. I'm sure there are some shenanigan's going on but that is how it is at Wilmington Municipal.

This is an amazing course. You can clearly see the Ross touches in the bunkering and green complexes. Think about it - $45 (includes cart) for a classic Ross design. Conditions: the tee boxes were fine, along with the fairways, greens and bunkers. The greens were actually sneaky fast and putted true. There is currently some ground under repair because they laid down some sod, but l didn’t feel like it came into play too much. And it’s nice to see they are making needed improvements. I definitely will return, and l can definitely recommend this course. Side notes: l didn’t use the driving range and the putting green was equal to the courses greens. The carts were ok, and they didn’t have GPS or a rain cover for the bags.
