Whisper Creek Golf Club

We have played this course several times each year, but this year the course conditions seem to have been deteriorating. We are normally a group of 8-12 guys that play a different course every week. This has become one of the least desirable courses on our list and may get moved off. Not just based on conditions in Nov., (expected to be rough) but the last 3 or 4 times there this year.

After our round we all like to enjoy a drink or 2 but when you go into the bar and sit at a couple of tables, the waitresses make you feel like you are not welcome and prefer not to wait on you because you are not ordering food, even though the restaurant is only 1/2 -3/4 full. Bottom line is it use to be much better. The only reason we went there is because of the last minute good deal on Golf Now.

Longest round I've played in an extremely long time. Greens could use a little TLC.

The staff was rude and unfriendly!!

Divot marks almost completely covered greens making difficult to putt.

Nice Gourse, Service, Shop.. etc.

With the temps in the upper 80s it was a hot day, but the course was worth being a bit hot to play. It has a good layout being a bit challenging, but not overly so except for the last hole where the carry over the water is really too much for just about any woman golfer (hint--aim right for the narrower space to carry.

Great course, great holes, great conditions. Only down side is we had a five sum on the course with two smaller kids. Really slow down the pace. Other then that the course is great with great staff

Nice course with good tee selections for all levels of players. You can rent golfboards rather than a cart.......made it a lot of fun for us.

Played in the early morning to avoid the crowd, which seems to be the biggest complain the locals have about this golf course. Early bird gets the worm - and an excellent deal for golf. The head pro is a good guy and took some time to help me out of bit. The gentlemen at the front counter was most helpful and courteous and helping us make our way to the first tee. Great facility for putting and range as well. Only complain I have are that 2 or 3 holes are a bit strange with strange angles to stay on the fairway or less than ideal set up / layups that are awfully tough. Pick your tee box wisely as the course from the tips can be quite challenging. Lastly, the greens are all pretty flat. Most of my putts were no more than a ball and a half outside the whole. Great if you're looking to make tons of putts, no so great if you're looking for greens with "character". Do try it out if you've never been out there. Worth the 45 minute drive in my opinion.

Great staff, great course, and unbelievable fun GolfBoards that not only enhance the golf experience but uphold the traditions of the game, speed up play, and truly make Whisper Creek an amazing experience.

Played my best round this year. Will play again soon.

They overbook their tee times and it was pathetically slow. We couldn't handle the pace of play and left after only 8 holes. We hoped that by skipping the 9th we might be able to get in front of two slow groups, but there was someone on the 10th tee. I had my best round of the year going and still couldn't handle playing at that pace anymore. We really think twice before booking a round here. The course has a nice layout, but nothing is worth playing 8 holes in 3 hours.

Our group played on Memorial Day @7:36

The staff was friendly and the course was in great shape.

Pace of play was extremely slow. Our group waited on the tee and in the fairways on each shot. The group in front of us did not wait on a shot until the 16th hole. The course did not have a ranger present to move play along. Very disappointing . We are used to playing in less than 4 hours , this round took 4 hours and 50 minutes. Way too lung for a 7:36 start.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Loved the layout, and the challenge of several holes.

The pace was slow that every par 3 had at least 3 groups waiting. From the 2nd tee thru 18, our foursome waited on every hole, even after a group quit on 14 due to the slow play. Too many golfers on the course.

First off, I have to say that for it being early March when I played the course, it was in great shape. There were a few wet and muddy spots but that is to be expected early in the year. The greens weren't fast but rolled fair and true. Overall, the course was well manicured and that made it a pleasure to play this early in the year.

I have a love/hate relationship with this course. I love how the course designers "ease" you into the course on both the front and the back 9. Water doesn't come into play until hole 4 on the front 9 and hole 15 on the back 9. I also love that fact that even though most of the course is lined by homes, the landing areas off the tee are pretty generous. You really have to slice or snap hook a ball to end up OB. However, that also brings me to the part I "hate" #more like a strong dislike# about this course. While the landing areas are generous on some of the holes, there are just other holes that make you scratch your head when you stand on the tee box. The course designers made three of the four par 5's near impossible to go after in two shots. I'd consider myself a big hitter and still cannot even begin to thing about attacking these holes. Holes 8 and 15 #both par 5's# pretty much force you to hit something other than driver off of the tee due to water coming into play. In doing so, you are still left with 300+ yards to the green.

Even with disliking several of the holes on this course, you can't beat the price of a mid-week round. Pace of play can be downright horrible at times, but on the day we played, we hardly saw another person on the course. My recomendation would be to play it early in the day before the course starts to fill up. The employees I encountered were cheerful and helpful. Also, they have golf boards for people to take out! I'm going to have to try one out the next time I play a round here.

In my opinion, if you live in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, Whisper Creek is a course worth throwing into your rotation or at least coming out to play once. I know I'll be playing here a few more times this year.

Very nice course! I try to golf here anytime I can, well taken care of and very friendly people!

Course is a great value. Worth the drive from Chicago. Course has some great holes.. The par 5s have nice risk/reward opportunities. The staff is friendly & courteous. Nice places inside and outside to have a drink afterwards. Fun place to play.

Whisper Creek is a first class course, from the excellent staff, course conditions and friendly nature makes this a pleasure to play.

From staff to course to price, great value all around.

Course is in great shape but pace of play was horrendous with no help from any Rangers , Round took over 5 hours to complete. Will not be back.
