Whitefish Lake Golf Club

My buddy has not played all year so you remember to whitefish lick from a few years ago not long plenty tight and the greens are good. Half the holes are from years and years ago mounted yeah some of the tea boxes are pretty rough shape but a lot of character and a lot of fun and did I say GolfNow price could not be for Thursday morning he was on vacation and I’m retired so OK give it a shot. It’s hard to beat the pricing on GolfNow. I wouldn’t pay 40 bucks or whatever they charge retail but anyway been playing here for 35 years often on. Thankful that it

Coming along way Eric Mike and Sylvia great people fairways are getting better. Greens are pretty good tea boxes to leave a little bit to be desired but for what I paid you on GolfNow I can’t complain.

Pulled up to hole #1 to 2 x 4, a 1x6 crew, 1x2, and a 1x1. The 2 some fled and received a refund. The 1x1 paired up with my partner and I. Apparently the morning scramble ran long and we were right in the middle of it. The 1x6 weren't even scrambling which was odd for dudes all wearing matching shirts. Anyways the starter Eric approached us and apologized up and down while taking accountability. Even let us get a dog and chips on the turn for free. Long story short we waited 30 mins to tee off and it took us 4.5 to play 18. Pure madness to start I had a great day. Sure I had a way better day than Eric. But props for the glizzy and chips.

This is an older course carved through the woods for the most part. Much more difficult than decades ago as the trees have grown significantly making most holes quite tight. Greens were nice, most tee boxes were ok but a few were rough and the bunkers were about right as far as amount of sand.

Whitefish is a wonderful course, challenging fairways that reward you with a great feeling when you get on the quick green. It's been very hot lately and the fairways were green for the most part. The staff is friendly and inviting. They have a driving range which does hit towards the 10th fairway so be ready to look for your ball at the 200yd mark. Highly recommend this course!

Was a little skeptical with it being a 3 star course. Staff was friendly. Some areas of the fairways and greens could use some work on a handful of holes but it’s May so I can understand. Pace of play was not great but I blame that on the 2 some that was ahead of me and didn’t let me play through (1 golfer) when they had nobody ahead of them. Other than that not a half bad course price is $60 for 18 and a cart. Could be worse. 4/5 stars

Course was in good shape overall. Tee boxes could use a little attention, but the layout is fun and the setting is really nice. Not a top-tier course, but for the price on a weekend it’s an excellent value and worth playing

Our 3 group and a 4 some in front of us let a single play through and then the 4 some let us play through. Huge rarity these days. Great group of guys. Guess it's better to govern yourselves on these courses rather than have staff coordinate anything to keep pace up.

The golf course was in very good shape for as dry as the weather has been. This is an old school tightly lined with plenty of trees kind of course. Tight enough to have sliced or hooked shot not uncommonly in the wrong hole fairway. I'll mention i didnt have to duck and cover once but was always at the ready. It will not have enough length for the young bombers. There some original old holes and some more modernized holes sprinkled throughout. The greens are in great shape, so to speak, other than some basic golfer etiquette is or was not observed. Unfixed pitch marks. Heavy feet scuffing up the grass and not sure if someone was wearing soccer, baseball of football shoes but on every hole it was the same couple of people wrecking the grass. Made me very unhappy for the course owners or superintendent because they would be in perfect condition otherwise. It's a shame there are just clueless golfers out there. Enough of the gripe session. The course has a good driving range for warmup or practice and I the restaurant is great with good food, a pond view and overall relaxing. I go back every year to play a round or two. I would consider more of a good bargain course, so be patient and don't expect too much.

bad conditions bad course management bad all around avoid this one

Little rough around the edges....think I took out my kidney s. With all rattling rough ride..but..

This is now what I consider my home course with my wife. Only because number one it is close about 15 minutes away and definitely with the deals we get on teeoff the cheapest around by far. I have been coming here since 1991 so now 32 years And even brought my daughters here to play 30 years ago. It went from a nine hole course to a 18 hole course about 1996 I believe. The family that originally owned the Pierce family or hands-on great people and had a nice restaurant for a very fair price.

I do not know who owns it now but I believe some company from the Detroit area from what I have heard and they are keeping it pretty much the same with very minor improvements and very little re-investment in the condition of the course. The best aspect of the courses The greens are very good. There is character here with the tight three line fairways which demands very straight drive so it is good for your game to keep the ball straight but the ultimate two reasons why we come here so often is the proximately or closest to our house and the low price as we get on tee off. This year it is up to about 14 $14 per player and quite frequently we get $10-$20 off rewards from tee off which sometimes we pay four dollars each which is crazy. Do not come here to expect super great things but with all the positive things I have mentioned that far outweighs the course up the street which is now charging close to $100 do you know which one I’m talking about cannot afford that anymore. Sorry

Once again I can’t play them through GolfNow’s site. They can’t seem to keep it working one season. The course and Golfnow blame each other and they can’t even book hot deals on the phone. The course tells me they are dumping golf now due to this.

Very old school course. Small greens, lots of trees and probably the most narrow fairways I have ever played made for a challenging day. The tee boxes were not in the best of shape but the greens were fast and true. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would play again but if you are a person who sprays the ball around be prepared for spending time searching the woods. Good value for the money.
