Some repairs are necessary

Generally the course is well maintained and fair. With a variety of tee locations for all level of play. There is one glaring hole #13. The teeing ground is in a wetland and the solution is tees above the wet areas supported on decking. The actual teeing surface is ??. You can't push a tee into it unless you have a metal tee and a hammer to drive it in. This course deserves to have this and all the bridges over the wetlands repaired. There are sagging areas and loose boards in the tiire path.

Birthday at the Links

This is one of our favorite courses in the area due to a combination of shot making requirements and overall layout. Fairways offer good lies an do not punish you for a good shot. Sand traps were in good condition, unfortunately i had to test them. Staff is very friendly, beverage cart came up missing though. Carts are all nice and in good condition. Food offerings perfect for the turn. Cost is a bit high compared to other local courses, though.

No ranger extreme slow pace of play.

No ranger or starter on a nice Sunday afternoon. Watching the other groups is a nightmare. Everyone hitting multiple balls. Searching for balls too long. We watched a group of kids hit balls for ten minutes on a tee.

If they had some organization it would be nice. I used to enjoy golfing here. I will not be back. Started at 3:46 no chance to finish before dark. We waited on every hole.

Good layout

Nice course with a fun layout. Back 9 opens up more.

Course in good shape, a couple greens were rough.

Surprised there is no starter, as about 4 foursomes were packed in a row at tee off time. It cleared up a little about 4 holes in. No cart girls either.

Course still waking up

Early spring, so course is a mix of quality. Not surprising at this stage. Greens a little inconsistent in speed is the main negative at this point. Until the fairways start greening up, expect some winter conditions. I really appreciate that they have been open for a couple of weeks, so I’ll put up with the issues - it will improve fast.

Mid-March

The pace of play was slow, took 5hrs exactly. Had a scheduled 1138am tee-time got off 12noon, again too many players waiting extra extra time to tee-off thinking they can all drive the ball like a PRO, causing each and every group to be slowed up. Course in decent shape considering march 21st, bonus day with extremely nice weather for the time of the year. Several carries that can cause havoc for players.

First outing of the year.

Friendly staff greeted us in morning. A bit of a chill at 8:30am about 21 degrees out when we got there. Hit a small bucket to warm up, and by our tee time at 9:22am the temp had gone up and the frost on the course had dissipated. We were the first ones out and set the pace for everyone else.

Open links on the front nine and a bit more challenging play on the back with tight fairways and challenging dog-legs.

Played the course in about 3 1/2 hours. Never had anyone waiting behind us.

Always enjoy playing at Whitmore Lakes. Definitely will be going back again.
