Worst course I’ve ever played

Completely disorganized. Had a 10:50 tee time and we did not start playing until 11:40. Told us the reason for delay was lack of carts but let 2 people get carts before our 3 some. Course was extremely backed up, terrible pace of play. Parking break on golf cart didn’t work. The course conditions are trash. The greens were absolutely destroyed. DO NOT waste your time or money on this place.

BANG FOR YOUR BUCK

This course is a solid course especially for the price point! The greens can definitely be more taken care of, but that’ll hike up the price. So, for a beginner like myself, I’ll take this course once or twice a week as practice any day.

It's an okay course!

First the positives. The course plays very fast, and the staff was very friendly. The not so good feedback would be the greens are in terrible condition, and the fairways are just okay. If you just want to work on your game and get through a quick round of golf this place is the place to go. I really wish they'd fix up their greens because this could be a nice course with a little TLC.

John A. White Golf Course

John A White golf course is a good course for the money. . Staff was friendly and kept golfers moving toward their tee times. This historic course seems to have a loyal following. Overall as a first time player on this course, I really enjoyed it.

Getting better

Glad to have some carts back. Greens starting look better but if you are slightly off the fairway you may have trouble finding you ball in the higher grass and thatch. But for the price and a hacker like me....who cares.

Not worth $20

The tee time reservation said "includes cart " & yet, no carts. I had to negotiate just to get a PULL CART, even though there were 4 outside!! There is no grass on most of the tee boxes. The first green literally has a crater the size of a small bunker. Needles to say, the price attracts many novices so the pace of play is abysmal. If you can afford to golf, spend the extra $10 or $20 where you'd have a better chance at enjoying your round.

Marshall not helpful

Brought my wife to the course for first time. She is a new golfer and doesn’t have clubs. She was apprehensive and nervous because there were quite a few golfers around waiting for first tee. Had paid through Golfnow for 2 golfers and we didn’t know of rule that said each person had to have own set of clubs. She’s just used mine in the past at other courses because she’s brand new to the sport. Walked up to first tee and Marshall basically said we were out of luck to play. She was pretty dismissive and unwelcoming to the both of us. Instead of asking us about our situation she made my wife feel pretty excluded which she was already feeling anyway. Later after my wife got pretty upset she offered us a loaner pair of clubs or refund. She was right to enforce the rules but to someone new to the sport who didn’t know the rules, the Marshall could’ve used a little more personal approach to new customers. We left without playing or refund. Customer service at this course was pretty bad on this day. Not sure I would return.

Great value for the money

There was a good variety of holes to challenge most skill levels. Greens are an on going battle, however; they are getting better.

Horrendous pace of play management

Booked a 10am tee time via GolfNow only to show up to a line of golfers 30 deep waiting to tee off on 1. What’s the point of a “tee time” if you don’t get to be in the tee box at that time. They were letting walk ups pay and just head to the first tee. I ended up hitting my first ball at 10:50am. Not to mention it is a walking 9 hole course so you hit then wait. Finished nine holes in 4 hours. Payed for 18 on the app but wanted to get home before dinner. I’m not a snooty golfer so I can ignore the green conditions.

Great Municipal Course for the Price

I enjoyed my round at John A White. The fairways were well kept and most of the greens. The pace of play was quite poor, but a simple starter could fix the delay. Highly recommend to any new to the sport or casual golfers to play on weekends with friends.

The Golfnow app told me that we would get golf carts and we were not allowed to so we had to walk all 18 holes. Very upset

Good value

Tee boxes & greens could use some TLC but great value for the price if you want to keep your game tuned up. As one of the only courses that was open in the area during the shutdown, it got SUPER busy and slow.
