Good local course

Conditions at Whittier narrows have improved. Greens and bunkers have always been good, fairways and tee boxes are where improvement could be made. Good local course.

Worth the money

For the online rate of $19 this is one of the best courses around. You can’t beat 18 holes on a Thursday for $19. Everywhere else is charging 40 and 50 for the same thing. And pace of play has been excellent. Finished 18 with a group of 4 in 3 hours 45 minutes.

Conditions Are Great

I’ve played Whittier many times before.. usually pace of play was so slow.. was one of the reasons I never went back for a while.. the 2nd was the conditions of the course were not great.. me and some buddies decided to give it a try after many years not playing there and to my surprise the course is the greenest I have ever seen it! Pace of play was much better .. waited in a couple of holes but not very long .. keep it up Whittier and I’ll keep coming back!

Bring bug spray

The fairways are generously wide, the rough had high grass. I would have loved this course were it not for the crazy amount of gnats, literally swarms of gnats all over our cart and while hitting. It would get in our eyes, swallowed a few too. Def bring bug spray, not an understatement

Over 5 hours for 18!

Just brutal pace of play. 3 cart pile up at every par 3 teeing off before 12. Unacceptable. The place needs a ranger to enforce at least a 4:30 pace if they can't enforce 4:00 with the long par 3s.

Plays longer than expected

The old course as I call it has made great improvements during the past 8 months. The fairways are looking 100 times better, the tee boxes are getting better but need to be consistently flatter across. The greens are amazing like always, they are better than 95% of the courses that surround them. I enjoyed the track and look forward to another booking.

Tee boxes, fairways were rough & patchy .. typical conditions for County / Municipal courses for our current drought conditions .. greens were in good condition .. made some putts. Good economical outlet .. to prep for the better ($) courses ... Get out & Play !! (and be respectful of your fellow golfer's .. too much frustration out there !!)
