First Time Playing

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.

Great price but course needs some work

Course wasn't crowded, but there was a lack of grass in the fairways. So many spots were just bare dirt. Greens on the other hand were smooth and rolling at a good speed.

Whittle springs.

Worst course conditions i have ever seen. Dirt tee boxes. Dirt fairways with ruts. Greens had sand on them where new cups had been cut. Some greens were cut at different heights.

It's Whittle

Had a good round, hadn't been there in over 10 years. Course was pretty much as I remembered. Some grass would make it more pleasurable.

This course is a cow field

If you have other options, exercise them. This course is the minimum to be called a golf course. The fairways are mainly dirt. No pace of play. Filled with people that don't know how to play let alone play quickly. Main issue is the lack of pace of play and hard pan dirt.
