friends enjoying golf Photo submitted by u998302706 on 10/23/2020
Great value, quick for Sunday
$40, thanks to golfnow.. tee time 10:40 and done in less than 4 hours with a threesome. I’ve golfed here enough to know not to expect this every time but today was a treat... download their app, it’s worth it.
Very enjoyable round but PLEASE fix the bunkers!
Good course nice value but the bunkers are terrible . Please fix them.
Fun and Fair
This was a good course well west of Chicago. It was quite open with a couple of twists and turns that made is some what challenging. The greens had quite a bit of slope and the pin placements were a welcomed challenge. I'm sure I'll find myself out here again.
Slow Play
After a 5 hour round of golf we may not go back. This is at least the 2nd time for this pace of play. No marshals, very poor way to treat people. They may not want to upset the slow group by asking them to speed up or pick up, but it is OK to upset everyone else behind them. To bad, we use to like to play here.
Good value for the money
I like the course layout. Holes are challenging. The only issue is the course has some low lying areas. The previous rains have made the sand bunkers into dirt. Signature hole 8 has large area that is in need of repair. Greens didnt seem to roll as fast as previous trips. Glad to see the ranger making his rounds to keep slow play at bay.
A Wet Mess!
Played here numerous times and since Casper took over there have been improvements to the course as well as moderating the costs. Well, I don't see that anymore. First time here this year and most likely the last.
Major problem? Standing water on every hole! Why? They only had .6 inches the previous night. Pro Shop Dude cried about the abundance of rain one the past couple weeks. I've played many other courses in the area in DRY conditions. Drainage issue?
Not what it used to be
Have not played here in five years. They have let it go.
The bunkers are awful and they let long grass grow all over the place so it's lost balls and slow play. I hit a rock in a bunker the size of my fist that was under my ball but could not see it.
Not going back.
Great place to play
RIDE THE GOLF BOARDS! Very cool and different experience to surf the course on one of these badboys.
Typical Turtle Round at Whisper Creek
Haven't played Whisper in about 10 years. Now I remember why....it's always way too crowded, slow play abounds - never enforced and in December it shouldn't take 5 hours plus to play. The track is somewhat interesting with trouble to fend off but the overall conditions (typical Billy Casper mismanagement) are a major put off. I know it's off season but come on. Greens completely pockmarked with ball marks and the quality of the course has gone way downhill over the past several years (Billy Casper and the horrible way they maintain the green sites).....every single course they manage has major issues. I'd like to have a round at this place that's 4.5 hours or less but it never happens. It's a $30 to $40 course at most. The staff is nice but when you have a bunch of turtles and resident members who think they own the course that takes the fun out of trying to play this place. Plus we got paired up with a guy that held up the course to the point where I had to apologize to group behind us after the round.....and it was a member who didn't care how long he took for the wind to possibly die down for his tee shot and we basically had to lead him around his own golf course....couldn't even see where his ball went. Completely ridiculous. Doubt our group will return anytime soon.
Curse was in great shape
Greens were soft and held if you hit onto the green for the most part. putts were fast but fair.
Couple of the larger sand traps needed sand, were almost clay only on the edges but it is late in the season too.
Enjoyable
Other than pace of play. being pretty slow., very enjoyable round of golf. Contacts with starter, front desk and 1/2 way house all extremely friendly. Good value
Retirement community, slow pace
There was not a hole we got to that we did not have to wait to tee off. The pace was very slow
Death march
Nice golf course but walked off after 13 holes. Called the pro shop to complain about the slow play. He said they don't have rangers and apologized for the slow play. So nothing was done. Will not be back at ANY PRICE.
Not too bed
Everything's ok but too many slow played course.
We're waiting every hole 25 minutes .
