Whitney Oaks Golf Club

I’ve played here off and on over the years. When it first opened this track was one of my favorites in the area. As the course has matured tee to green it grown in character. Unfortunately so have the greens, not in a good way. They seem so compacted and difficult. I have no issues with fast or difficult greens but some are so ridiculous, pin placements in US Open positions, on crests, hiding in corners. Realistically I’m older as well and we’ve both aged in areas that aren’t flattering haha but come one on you could fix these issues. lol. The course has passed me by, I’m a weekend golfer till I retire, and I want to enjoy my outing not grind over every shot my, putt like my life depends on it. Whitney and Twelve Bridges/ now Catta Vedera were my go to, TB is now private and the new owners of Whitney obviously don’t want to spend money to trim some trees that need help and greens that are desperately looking for some fillers/ Botox and lipstick.

I’ll stick to a. Purse that fits my game.

Love this place. A real challenging gem. Layout & design is a work of art. I was here a few weeks ago and came back because it's a challenge. I normally play Blue & on occassion, the next set of Tees further back. Here it's the Black. Played the Black last time & the Blue this time. If you don't hit long, or have trouble placing your Tee shot when required, you're in trouble. Some holes require fairway shot placements & blind spots. A lot of the greens are not deep, but wide, so a precise shot is required. I found myself just off the 1st cut of fringe w/ a covered ball under the grass. I could reach out & touch the fringe. Some the the pin placements were just in regulation length from me. You can imagine! I love the challenge. The same for the pins tucked all the way back. I go for the pin so simply a 1/2 club swing difference was all it took just either not enough or too much. Yikes. I'll be back & can't wait.

This course snakes through a residential area but has a lot of natural aspects

This is fantastic course if you are looking for challenging round of golf. The course is well maintained and fair.

Great fairway conditions. Greens are a little slow.Will definitely play again.

This is a challenging course, however the layout is fantastic. The course is in very good condition. Played on a warm day. The pace of play was fantastic. There was no other players within 2 holes in front or behind. Lots of water on the course. Friendly golf marshals.

Given how expansive and challenging this course is, it’s a great option to escape for a few hours and enjoy a fun, quiet, day on the greens. Today, it was particularly quiet given it was about 100 degrees but still fun to work on my game and not be caught in the traffic during busier times.

Very challenging and great layout. My favorite part of this round was recognizing how great the cart was... awesome cart with power and plush seat and accurate GPS system.on board. It was nice

Course setup for old guys and seniors/ladies.

Back tee boxes closed however they wouldn’t be playable if open. too many unmaintained trees to provide a window to hit a shot. I won’t be going back unless I want to hit 4-7i off the tee on par4s

The pin placement on this day was ridiculously difficult. Every pin was put on the crest of the green. If you were 3 feet short or long, expect a longer putt than you started with!

As always, if you are 10 -15 yards off the fairways or back rough, don't expect to find your ball in the bushes or OB. Challenging course but worth giving it a try.
