Great Value and Course is Well Kept

Great value…well kept…however, the layout is chaotic. The course was full this particular day, so we were constantly dodging balls due to holes being in all sides as well as front and back of us.

The greens were in great shape and the staff was friendly. A little disappointing there wasn’t a “real” driving range. They had an area, but you had to use your own balls and you couldn’t hit a driver.

Overall, we had fun and and enjoyed our round. I would recommend to a friend but not sure we would play there again.

For the price not bad. Impossible to chip here because of the conditions. Wouldn’t expect much better for the price. Still a good time.

Fun for a Muni, not worth the price whatsoever

The fact that I paid the same green fee here that I do at Egwani and Willow Creek is insane… this course is fun for a BS day of fun and drinking, but if you actually want to play golf stay away lol

Location and ability to play quickly

The greens are in great shape. The fairways and around the greens are primarily dirt at this time. I likely will not return for several weeks.

A horrible track!

We teed off around 1pm. The pace of play was fantastic. The course is one of the worst I've ever played. The fairways were made of burnt grass and hard dirt. The greens were small, but in good shape. The layout of the course is dangerous. Alot of the greens are located real close to the next tee box. My wife was sitting in the cart on #9 tee box, when an errant shot came from the fairway of #8. It hit the cart hard, missing her by inches. Won't return.

Whittle springs pro is a jack...

Not only were we stuck behind a group at the turn.(not the group we started behind) who thought it was ok to take a group bathroom break halfway thru a hole when it had already been 15 min waiting on the same hole.. but the pro tried to not honor their kids play free rule not only published on their website clearly but part of the city golf uskga setup...may or may not ever go back...

Fun but staff makes confusing decisions

Whittle is basically my second home course. Not a ton of fairway grass but the greens are always smooth and fast so that makes up for it. Hard to play as a single. Staff will send out fivesomes and send foursomes off the back when the front is wide open. Most will let you through. Staff is nice, members on the other hand… If you’re a single or have a group of two, the members won’t let you through not matter what. All and all great course for the money.

Busy day at the course

Course was in good condition for the time of year. Very busy that day almost every hole having to tee off into oncoming golf carts.
