Horrible customer service in pro shop

Walked in pro shop to check in. Another gentlemen’s ahead of me in street clothes having personal conversation with the gentleman behind counter. Laurie fly waited, never acknowledged, or addressed about checking in. Totally unprofessional!!! Older cart gentleman kindly took my info and gave me a cart and said he would check me in. Will not play there again and will negative yelp and discourage my contacts to avoid the course

Good Value and Good Condition

Course was in nice condition, it is a tuff course with challenging greens so you may want to adjust the tees you would play for more than just distance.

Mid Week Golf

Played on Tuesday 1030a tee time. Weather was cool in the morning then warmed a little. Played as a single, no one was with me so I could play my pace. Played whites, tee boxes were good. Fairways were nice, greens also nice. Considering mid September golf, no rain lately, excellent conditions. I caught up to a 5some by hole 5, not sure how they teed off or combined. They weren't slow, but they didn't wave me up and through. By the turn they I was pushing by 5 still no go. Could have used a Marshall to visit but it's Tuesday, maybe not working. I finished in 4 hours. Slow to me but it's Tuesday and can't really complain too much. And no, they weren't new golfers. Looked like regulars who played their pace.

Not for Beginners

Whitney Oaks is an amazing course and has a super challenging layout. I love playing here cause it makes me a better golfer, with that being said if you are new to the game or still haven’t broke 100 this course is going to eat you alive and I highly suggest you opt for easier courses in the area. The only downside to the course is pace of play, if there are hackers playing in front of you, the pace of play is going to be painfully slow. The group in front of us yesterday were playing from blues and couldn’t make it pass the womens tees let alone all the force carries you need to reach playing here. I was once a hacker that couldn’t break a 100 so I feel for ya… but trust me get better by playing easier courses and graduate to a challenge like Whitney Oaks.

Great shape

The course is in excellent condition. Greens are rolling true and fast.
We did have a fivesome that was holding things up a bit but we still enjoyed the round.
Had a GolfNow deal so paid a good rate.
Had two beers after the round at the clubhouse. Charged $9 ea. way too much for a draft beer. Can get a four pack of the same IPA for $11. 3 X the price, no thanks, would have probably had a couple and some food, but not for that much. Other than that, a great experience. Just don’t buy anything at the clubhouse.
