Review from 2014 - I have played twice at Wildwood in 2014 (all 3 loops) and have to say it is a lovely set up they have there. The staff are polite, friendly and helpful and the clubhouse and pro shop are both very good. My only concern is how well the club are doing. I played in a group of four on a Sunday morning and only saw two other groups on the course! I sincerely hope all is well with the club. The cost was £43 for a 4 ball including bacon rolls and coffee - unbelievable value. Will definitely return!
