Great course but very long wait off first tee

It was a really nice course but tee times were too close together and got backed up very quick. We teed off over an hour after our tee time.

They consistently overbook this course. We waited 30 mins after our tee time on the 1st hole to tee off.

Drainage needs help

4.5 hour round on a Monday. The course was soaked which I expected, but everything was plugging. Some better fairway drainage would be great.

Whitmore Lake Review Dec 2021

A nice fall round of golf on the front 9. Course conditions were a bit wet in a few spots. The front 9 suits my game better than the back 9. Hit a few good shots that made the round more enjoyable. Food was still available at the clubhouse with a good selection of beers on draft. Staff was nice, but had to wait quite a while to check in because of reduced staff in the fall months.

Great Local Course, worth the money

My wife and I live very close to the course, they are our first GO TO on short notice reservations or when we plan to have friends over after golf. Front is great if you want to get a quick 9 in being more open. The back is more challenging, narrow and easy to lose a ball if you go in the woods. Staff is very professional and helpful to any reasonable request. Breakfast sandwiches are worth getting if you have an early AM tee time, check it out.

One of our favorites

Well maintained course with nice variety of holes from a open front nine to a wooded, winding back set. Driving range and chip/putt area tops it off. Friendly staff is always a plus.
