Course review

Fairways were in rough condition and not great to hit off, the greens were pretty good though. I think it’s a good course for it’s price.

Whittle Springs is the best value for money hands down. It's got some challenging holes but the course is very open. The greens are always in excellent shape and have lots of break.

Course was Great

The course was great! The gentleman in the Proshop was friendly and extremely helpful. It was my daughter's first time playing a real golf course, and I was worried we would be holding everyone up, but were able to keep up with the group in front if us. The day was enjoyed by both of us.

Whittle Springs

Whittle Springs is always a good loop. Greens are fast and the courae is a good challenge. Higgly recommended. We played 18 and a cart for $25.50 each.

One of the best for the price

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a great golfer and I’m a bit of a cheapskate. If this describes you in any capacity, This is the course for you. One of the cheapest around for 18 w/cart. Greens have always been in good shape when I’ve played, the layout is easy to follow and clearly marked, The staff has always been friendly, the pace of play is always decent. You could spend a lot more money for a course that isn’t much better maintained, trickier to navigate, and much harder to stay in play but why would you if you’re not considered a good golfer? This course is open enough that your slice doesn’t put you 3 fairways over yet challenging enough to really work on improving your game all while not breaking the bank. Check it out. You’ll be glad you did and like me, maybe find a course that’s worth working on your game at.

Convenient, fun, affordable

Tidy layout that you can easily walk from green to the next tee. Most holes are straightforward, but some quirks will keep things interesting. Not many penalizing features, but you can't go bombs away on every hole, as there are many ways to have a sneaky-bad miss. Greens are usually in great shape, fast, and often pitched. Some fairways and tee boxes are in rough shape. Play preferred lies.

Fun, convenient, quirky

Greens were in good shape. Fairways and tee boxes were a mixed bag. Just play preferred lies and enjoy. Great value and fun layout.

Slow with no help

The biggest problem with my round was the pace of play. There must have been a rain delay, because there was a line at the teebox once my tee time was up. There ended up being a train of about five different pairs playing, and they were all following one group of three carts that stalled pace of play for the rest of us. I was expecting a quick round because I was there in the late afternoon, but I only got through 11 holes in 2 1/2 hours as a single. There was no reason for it to take that long but the large group playing slowly, as the groups ahead of me and behind were only pairs. There was no marshal on course to correct the situation, so I left after 11.
