Whitestone Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Long and susceptible to the wind, White Stone Golf Club rolls through an impressive Hill Country-like setting with huge oak trees, lots of rocks, and loads of native oaks, cacti, yucca, and wildflowers.
Bunkers are everywhere on this 7,100-yard Jeff Brauer design, and water comes into play on about seven holes. The key to scoring well is keeping the ball below the hole, avoiding nasty downhill putts on the extremely fast greens. White Stone's par 5s are tough, and average golfers should probably play them conservatively and be happy just getting there in three, since three out of four are fronted by hazards and require carries.
On the front nine, no. 1 tests you early -- it’s a 555-yarder with a creek that crosses the fairway and forces a layup on the second shot. No. 9 is nice as well, a 360-yarder that should be played with a short iron to lay up in front of the creek. This hole features a nice dip in the center of the green that requires knowing the correct pin placement.
White Stone Golf Club's back starts strong like the front, opening with a 580-yard par 5 with a sloping fairway that is cut by the creek on two occasions. No. 11 is the best par 3 on the golf course -- a 200-yarder that plays dow hill over a creek and into a creek surrounded by bunkers.

Temp greens
Wish they had told us before teeing off there were 3 team greens on par 5 holes.
Also holes hadn’t been changed out in good greens for several days.
NO MARSHAL
Awesome staff, coarse was in fairly good shape, only draw back was the pace of play. We had a group of 5 ahead of us that apparantly decided that the course was a place to give golf lessons, then got to the 10th hole to find out 3 groups of 4 jumped in front of us after eating lunch in the clubhouse. After waiting 10 minutes and none had teed off we were offered to play the front 9 again instead of the staff making the groups that stopped and ate lunch in the clubhouse do so.
Great Course
It's been a great course for several years now. On golf now the pricing is great. I heard they raised their general rates about $10-15. They do now give a small basket of range balls which is nice but on a moderately windy day you can land balls on the 6th hole and fairway from the range when it's on the lower level which is not cool, time to invest in a mesh net. They are resodding the greens on 6, 10, and 16 and have temporary small greens in the middle of the fairway, should be fixed by April 2026
Great course, but….
Whitestone has always been a great, challenging course to play. However, right now the course is going through renovations around and on most of the greens with the collars being cut out for waiting to be sodded. It was still playable detracted from the experience.
Don't waste your money
The course was in poor condition. Greens were terrible. Pace of play was just under 5 hours. A Marshall drove by but didn't ask any questions and did nothing for the group that was hitting 3 balls each on the tee box.
There are many better courses to play.
Slow Play and Bad Conditions
Could have used the marshal on a Saturday round. Pace was slow because groups were not playing ready golf and keeping up.
Greens are not in great shape. Between the lack of marshals keeping things moving and the conditions of the greens, likely won’t go back until summer.
One of my favorite courses
Tee boxes and practice areas in awesome condition will definitely play again
Nicely Kept
They've done a good job battling the weather and freezes and they paint the fairways which is awesome because it helps track the ball. Greens were not bad for the time of year, however their bunkers need to have actual sand in them. The 11th par 3 is awesome and the sand was brand new but some of the other bunkers are just dirt.. like a the kind you use for fill with rocks and stuff in it. Not going to take off too many points for that since your goal is to not go in them. Last little annoyance is the pin placement. We went on a Wednesday and where the pins were you'd think we were playing Bethpage Black on Sunday in a tournament. Some were at very, very difficult placements so even those who excel at putting might have a hard time getting the ball to stop near the whole on longer puts.
Fun Course in Good Shape
Considering the winter weather, the course was in pretty solid shape. Almost all of the tee boxes and most of fairways were in really good shape for February, especially a week after a big ice storm! The layout was a lot of fun and I’ll definitely be coming back! My group did get stuck behind a slower group, and ended up waiting on almost every hole- we still finished our round just under 4.5 hours, so no real complaints about the pace out there (just expected pace to be a little better for a Tuesday).
Winter continuous a fabulous, with winter rye on tees , fairways, and greens
