Terrible course condition

Course was in horrible condition. It was full of pine cones, dead grass, many damaged areas, and poor directions to get to the holes. The par three 3s required all levels to drive from a fake grass mat. It is a municipal course that no longer is cared for.

Do Not pay here

I know it is winter here, but you can tell this course is not taken care of. There are dried spots all over that were mud at one time and they have not done anything to repair them. There were tees all over the tee boxes you can tell they have not be clean up for a long time.it is like a maze with all the holes being way too close together. Will not be back.

Course condition

Greens are immaculate condition. Fairways are practically dirt. Winter conditions are always tough but fairways seem to have been scalped at end of season leaving nothing but dirt.

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.

Go To Golf Course

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.
