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.

Great value and good walk

It’s a city course so don’t expect East lake. The course layout is truly interesting and fun. The greens are sub par but everything else is entertaining. The walk is equivalent to 44 flights of stairs so there is some elevation. I’m a stump meter the greens would be an 8 or less versus Bobby Jones where the greens are a 10+ in the meter. But great value for the $$$.

Fun Course to Walk, Much Less $$$ Direct

We really enjoyed walking this course today. Our only regret was not booking directly. Golfnow almost always charges a discount rate. But not for this course. We could have paid just $7 (senior rate for 9) had we booked direct. Cost $16+ instead. For 9 holes, walking

First tee.

If you are a beginner golfer I would recommend this course for you. A lot of leverage to help you get your golf ball get to the pin. The hills help carry your ball but you better hit the ball straight to make par! Great course!

Alaygra greeted us with a smile and thanked us for our business

Fairways in great shape and rough not too high

A couple of the greens are stressed from the heat but the others rolled good
