My favorite local course!

The course is always in good shape and well taken care of. Staff is great and have never had a problem. This course has a good mix of challenging and straight forward holes.

Monday play

Played behind 2 older couples who played painstakingly slow and didn't play ready golf. Made our round almost 5 hours and not want to return as the rangers were unwilling to press them to play faster. Play is always slow on hole 8 as your second shot is always a blind shot over the creek since they do not maintain the shoreline so you can see the fairway on the other side. If they would cut down the weeds it would open up the view of the hole and avoid hitting into the group ahead. Great design of a hole that is ruined by maintenance. All bunkers are grass and weed filled with little to no sand especially in the fairways. Won't play again unless they fix the traps!!

Has gone downhill fast

Im not sure of any course sale status or management change (bartender said it was sold) but Ive played forest preserve courses in better shape. The best was a greenside bunker beyond repair, the solution? Mark it as a red staked hazard. Im also pretty sure they are using the cheapest seed available for divots. No other way to explain tufts of "rough" all over the fairways. Used to be a gem, I will need photos before I ever go back.

Decent Course

Decent course, friendly staff. I hadn't played here in a few years and it appears the condition of the course has gone downhill, some bunkers are under repair, the rest aren't well kept. The greens were fine and there are a few very interesting holes especially the 2 par 5's on the back 9

Good course, terrible Par 5's

Overall course was in good shape and greens are a little slow but roll true. Par 3 & 4 are nice mix and challenge. On the other hand, Par 5 here are the worst I've seen anywhere. Only one allows you to hit driver from the tee. The rest are iron only and then become a back and forth weave across streams and over towering fields of weeds. I'd love to go back here but probably won't because of these holes. Took an otherwise good course and made it dreadful.

Such Potential

Whisper Creek has an amazing potential. Its layout is challenging and serene. They need to figure out the greens keeping situation. Sand traps are awful and unkept. Either fill them in or maintain the sand levels. Tee boxes are overgrown and not level. It’s like there is no pride in the work they do. If Whisper Creek just charged $10-15 maybe even $20 more a round could they afford to have better maintenance and be one of the great courses in the area again. Bowes, Highlands and Blackstone are much better options in this area. Even Marengo Ridge is starting to catch up to Whisper Creek in quality.
