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.

Beautiful City Course.

I'm from Atlanta, and Atlanta has many nice public courses near the city. You can tell they're working on improvement. Love ❤️ Whittles. Close to home. Fantastic greens.

Challenging Narrow

Challenging course with narrow fairways on both sides at some points. Non forgiving on errant shots. Lots of slopes on fairways and greens.

Unique experience

This course is a par 70. That's 33 on the front and 37 on the back Definitely a little different in that regard!

Got paired with a veteran of the course and it was invaluable seeing how this was my debut round at this location.

Fun little track that put a premium on accuracy. Pace of play was absolutely awful though
