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.

Great course for the value
I enjoyed this course and have gone back a few times. It greens are true but could use some work. #10 is challenging to say the least. Back nine has some great open view of the adjoining property. We saw two big bucks, doe and roadrunner. The windmills ans wells are great back drops on the course.
fun course good value
Challenging enough to make shots forgiving enough to have fun
Sand traps
The course was pristine with lots of difficult sand traps. Now they have no sand,weeds,and not even raked by staff. "They" also own lost creek and that course in terrible condition.
Bunkers
Your sand traps are horrible. No sand and unkept.
Awesome greens!
The greens and fairways at Whitestone are reason enough to play and enjoy a round! That being said please do not get your hopes up for anything else, the sand traps are non-existent, there are no cart girls or beverage carts, the pro shop does not make singles and pairs join up which causes terrible pace of play and in turn frustrates golfers.
Again, aside from the horrible bunkers the course is great and worth the trip, just don't expect anything else!
Excellent value and this course
Always a fun round at Whitestone. High winds were a challenge on this date.
Great price and fun course
I finally played Whitestone today and it was fun. Very unique layout and loved using all my clubs. I started at 10:21 and finished at 2:00. Hit enough fairways but those greens are fast. Staff has done a good job for mid October.
Good prices
This is a good course besides the bunkers. No drainage, water sitting in the bunkers. I would like to practice sometimes hitting it out. With that said the price to play here is good.
OK course
Play this course every now and then when I cant get a time I want at other courses. The greens are not very true, have numerous small ant mounds . sand traps in very poor condition.
Whitestone
Course was in great shape after the rain. Played true and greens were well maintained. Pace of play was slow, and it didn't have a good/drink cart, but the golf was great!
Bad attitudes
I've never been treated worse anywhere that I've ever played. The staff acted as if they were having to go out of their way just to do their job. I will never play this course ever again. They have lost me as a customer.
traps
everything good...except...did you notice i didn't type SAND in front of traps....that's because there wasn't ANY...
The greens need some love
I try to give well rounded reviews, but I am partial to green conditions. If a course has great greens, I am likely to rate up, and vice versa. I was very disappointed at the amount of dead spots on the greens. Not just that, but on several of the holes, there was stuff like dried up flowers covering the greens. This, and the fact that the pace of play was extremely slow were major turn offs. There were 5 different groups all stacked up at the first tee waiting to play, and this was during the week!!! Bunkers could also use some love, but I am not going to hold that against the course. IF the pace of play improved, and the greens had some tender loving care, this course would be pretty good, but for now, I will play other courses
Sand Traps
I enjoyed the course with a couple of friends. But we all agreed the sand Traps needed lots of work. Also needs drinking water. We will be back. Thanks for an enjoyable round.
Always a great value
Played this course yesterday. Course conditions were good. Greens were in really good condition. Fairways are firm but still very playable. My only complaint is with the condition of the sand traps. They are always wet, muddy or packed rock hard. So much so that I never hit out them. Other then that it's one of my favorite local courses.
Adrian051280 - Thank you very much for the 4 star rating! We hope we will see you back again soon!
Great lay out, great condition
This course was very enjoyable, the track was great as was the condition. My only complaint is the greens were a little slow to my liking. Pace of play was good, but it should be on a Tuesday afternoon. I will definitely be back.
rt2lft - We appreciate the 4 star rating! We are thrilled to hear that you will be back, we look forward to seeing you!
Good challenging course
Fairways and Greens in good shape. Bunkers needed some work. Good mix of short par 4's with club choices and long holes.
deanscot - Thank you very much for the 4 star rating! We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you back on the course soon!
Great Course but Challenging
Very nice course, excellent staff but the course is very difficult for a below average golfer such as I am.
estesgolf - Thank you for the kind words towards our staff! We are always striving to provide the best golfer experience. We hope to see you back again soon!
Up for a challenge?
I like Whitestone for the challenge. I've played a lot of courses and keep coming back to this one. Every time I play here I try new ways to improve and find new ways this course takes me down. Not giving up, just keep coming back.
