Really Poor condition

Huge patches of dead grass. Even on the tee boxes. Most of the bunkers overgrown / wasteland.

Whisper Creek

All in all the course is in an average condition.

The greens are pretty slow and some bunker look like waste areas. On the 8th and 9th hole trees and bushes got to be cut. Even with knowing the course, it's pure guesswork where to aim for the shots. We were stuck behind a flight which didn't let us play through and therefore pace of play with 5 hours was far too slow.

Pace of play, high school team

The course was nice, fairly good condition. The one complaint is a 2some starting at 530pm with a cart playing 9 should be able to finish before 815pm. The last 3 holes couldn't be played due to a high school team on the course and not being able to play through. Paying customers should have been able to play through or have had an option to play another 9 instead of playing 6 and having the quit from it being too dark.

Bunkers are a joke

Overall this is a nice layout, fun to play but the bunkers especially the fairway bunkers virtually unplayable. The staff very friendly.

Not worth the $$$$$

No $70+ golf course should have “sand traps” that are 50% dirt / 50% grass & 0% SAND. The tee boxes were chewed up. It was trash. Never again.

What’s up with the bunkers?

Normally this course is in decent shape, but I don’t know what is going on with the bunkers. Most are full of weeds and rocks. It seems like they have given up on maintaining them this year. Greens and fairways were in good shape, but a few of the tee boxes were pretty rough. I guess that is to be expected with the dry conditions we have had this year.

Incredible value

This course is a great deal on TeeOffs. Everything about it was nice,except maybe the traps, but ummm...don't hit it in them! No better value on this websitethan this place.

Course is in much better shape than it was earlier in the season. Pace of play is very very slow. It’s a good course to play if you get a Hot Deal. If the weather is bad it scares off a lot of the slowest players. On a nice day the slow play ruins the enjoyment of the round.

Neglected...

This course used to be in great shape...not anymore! Sandtraps are extinct and void of sand. Greens are getting pretty bombed out. Tee boxes are not good either. There wasn't a cart person this day. Then to top it off the 19th hole was closed. So, of that's okay, then have at it. Not to excited to get back anytime soon.
