Sandy Greens

Half the course was closed but the half that was open had greens that looked like a beach or a sand trap.

Needs work

The course needs work. Too many balls well hit but rolling on hard pan into hazard or trouble. Irrigate or grow some grass would be my suggestion. Excellent staff.

Whittles

Lot of winter kill and erosion due to mower blades not adjusted is main problem. Pins appeared to be ragged which means haven't moved them in awhile. I have played Whittles for 40 years and you can expect peaks and valleys on course conditions and for now it's a valley. I will be back.

The Whittle.

Overall good experience except for the 4 jerks ahead of us on the back nine. Spent too much time dicking around and created a logjam behind them. On 18 one of them even ran over the stone marker and drove off. We reset it but they made the back nine suck.

Solid Course

Overall, very solid course! A little tight, so you can hit into others if not careful. But, I enjoy this course a lot!

Not bad for the price

Waited too long to get a tee. Time where we typically play, gave this course a try since we could get an early morning t ltime. Staff were very friendly, great pace of play. Not a lot of grass in the fairways yet, greens were in decent condition.Excellent deal for the price.

If you call yourself a golfer of any kind. Avoid this place. Wow it’s packed but don’t know why. Tees and greens literally side by side. Awful fairways. Greens ok. I wouldn’t play there again if you paid me.

Charged twice

Decent course, but don’t like being charged twice for anything. Since when does a round cost $96? Should have been $48 ($24 each). Instead I have two transactions for $48. Guy at the counter wasn’t too friendly either. Just saying...

Fun Track! Not a long course but the greens are her defense! My buddies and I get out early and zip around. Greens have been healthy every time we have been out.
