Rating 74.4

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.

Overall A Great Course

I have played this course many times and enjoy it. My only complaint is the sand traps are more like mud traps. There appears to be 0 maintenance on them or sand for that matter.

Late afternoon tee off

We teed off at 4:05 behind a single. Never saw him again after the first hole. Course was in great condition for October. Played all 18 holes before dark with a 3 some. Had a great time and will be back. Can't beat the hot deal price at this course.

Almost there

I played the course about 18 months ago and the course has improved quite a bit. The greens are in good condition - the fairways are now playable. The bunkers however are completely unplayable. They were bad the last time I played it but are worse now. The staff are doing some good work on the course, if they can get the bunkers playable the course would be in real good shape. That being said - for a $12 hot deal it's worth the money. It'll be a while before I'd be willing to pay full price though.

Course Needs Help

1st time playing this course. Almost every Sand Trap was Unplayable with huge holes gravel and water in them. No one would want to walk this course because of distance between green and next tee. Score card needs help as so small print cant see #s of holes, not following N S E W, keep turning card to find out where you are, hard to see where creeks water are on map. Marshall allowed 5 some to play with 2 some's behind, Incredibly Slow Play.

I would say, I will not play course again for several years, so they can get the course totally playable.

Sorry guys but not worth the $25.00 paid.

Best thing was the gas carts which were clean and responsive w/Little lag time before moving forward without the jerking of gas carts.

Nice layout, greens are very good

Greens were very nice, fast and true. Fairways were in good condition. As others have posted, some areas are over watered and muddy but better to have fairways with grass on them. Now, the bunkers are absolutely horrendous, huge rocks, no sand, all dug out. Just go in knowing anytime you hit into a bunker, you are taking a course under repair drop out of them. They must be getting ready to redo them. Based on the bunkers, I would say this is only a $30 course max, they should drop their normal rate a little until they repair the bunkers.

Good Layout poorly maintained

I've played Whitestone before and I have enjoyed it. However, last time I played, the sand traps were not maintained at all. This was in spring, so I chalked it up to spring rains, but playing it again yesterday, the traps were still not maintained and the course was more mud than grass for excessive watering. Pace of play was great because not too many people were out there. Don't know what's going on at Whitestone because this is a good layout but somebody needs to invest in course maintenance otherwise before too long, it will be new houses.

I have played this course quite a few times this season. I like how fair the tee boxes were. Greens are true,fast and smooth.

A good place to play to work on a handicap.

Overpriced

Course was a mixed bag really. Fairways were watered heavy to keep grass on them, greens were full of debris and dirt that made putting impossible, and this course is not even making an effort in the sand traps. Each bunker had several large rocks and no sand in them, so even hitting into a bunker and trying to play it would gouge your club possibly break them....

I showed up for my tee time and was told that two groups just went an played ahead of me just because, even though we were there in the cart and ready a full 15 minutes ahead of the tee time! Once we did get to the tee box we had to sort out which of the four full carts was actually next since everyone was just trying to beat the rush!

I was charged a premium rate for a very sub-par condition course and feel taken advantage of, I will not return to this course again anytime soon.

WS is earning a roster spot

Played here on and off for over 11+ yrs. Been out numerous times over that span and we have normally seen the course in BRUTALLY bad shape thru the hot months or dry periods. So for that reason we always avoided it except in Spring after wet months. Not now. They are turning things around. It's in great shape right now and they are obviously working on the turf conditions as I have witnessed in the few times I have gone out in recent months. This summer I have actually seen mower lines(ON ACTUAL GRASS) in fairways that have always notoriously been bare and rock hard. To have good grassy lies in the fairway for iron shots at WS is like an entirely new experience from years past. I have seen sprinklers going late in the evenings on hot days and turf from tee to green is showing the benefit. The greens are superb right now too as they aerified them early last month I believe. Very smooth and they have a lot of grab. Bunkers are still wrist breakers but who cares...Just don't hit it into those. It's 100% obvious to the longtime once, maybe twice per year, WS patron that they are trying really hard to maintain and improve the course. I hope they can keep it going and sustain it because it is still one of my favorite layouts and always peaceful. Especially on the back 9. I will definitely play it more often and spend my golfing $ there if they can keep it up. Way to go WS.
