This course is quite pretty..

Staffs were very friendly and nice.
Good management of course.
However green fee is somewhat expensive to play, I don't think that much good to receive such a high fee..

Great course but not in great condition (this time)

I've played Whiskey Creek a number of times before and have always been very pleased, but this time the course conditions and general experience did not match the standards they have set themselves..
Some of the issues:
* Many of the bunkers were unplayable. It rained a lot last week, but they should be playable by now.
* There was a lot of divots that had not been fixed. Many of them were clearly many days old.
* Many ball marks on greens that had not been repaired
* Three fairways were cart-path only due to aerification of the fairways. They did not clean the big pellets of the fairways until late in the day, so they were basically unplayable.

And finally to complain about the group ahead of us. They were extremely slow (5:15 hour round) and were throwing cigarette and cigar stubs all over the place, especially around greens and tees. Twice I had to brush cigar ash away from my putting line. I know it's difficult for the course staff to handle the smoking, but there were no rangers visible to make them speed up play.

I know this is a negative review of a basically great course, but this day they did not live up to the expectations I have of this course.

a hitters' course with lots of vertical

I wouldn't say the course layout is all that interesting but it's ok. Not bad. Not going to knock your socks off. It's a big course with a lot of vertical, long even from the white tees, Quite a few interesting shots. It does require a good mix of power and precision and a decent short-iron game, but you can say that about just about any course. Especially add the power here.

But still it's a fun course, just a bit on the expensive side but still not many houses and both the #9 and #18 approaches are "interesting" to say the least.

Overpriced and poor pace of play.

I’ve played this course several times and after each round I always tell myself I will never play here again. The greens were recently aerated, not rolled and need a cut in a major way. I understand that there is a maintenance process and aeration is necessary but don’ts charge 75.00 when the greens are in terrible condition. It took 5 hours to play 18, I don’t have a problem with the cost it’s unacceptable with the pace of play and the course conditions are terrible. The staff was great, the waitress were friendly and the accommodations in the clubhouse were acceptable. For the price you are much better off playing Worthington Manor, P B Dye or Raspberry Falls. I’ll never play here again.

Well worth it...

Played for the 1st time and definitely would return. I'm sure it would be better after playing once, as there are some tricks to the course. Definitely 18 total different holes. The design used the land masterfully. Wish they offered more times on Golfnow.

Excellent Course

Whisky Creek staff, facilities and course were outstanding. The staff was super friendly and eager to help. The course was certainly challenging; not a flat lie any where on the course... even on the greens. Will definitely come back.

Beautiful course, Friendly staff

Whiskey Creek is a course worth the trip. The greenfee is reasonable and just the views from half the holes are worth the price. Bring a camera to take some scenery shots:)
The course itself is well laid out and really uses the hills and valleys to its advantage. You will have to make some shots throughout and most of the par 5's are reachable in 2 by the longer hitters.
Greens were very hard, not much holding and even wedges were not leaving substantial ball marks. It is early in the season and I was told they do not sand punch the greens until beginning of summer. That will help, and even though the greens were hard, they rolled true with lots of movement and undulation on most greens.
Overall rating, was 9 out of 10 trip with the only negative being the hardpan greens.
And the staff was clearly there for the golfer and love their course and jobs.
I will be back.

If only I had known they were going to aerate the course the day I played I would have picked another day. Please indicate in your page whether a course is being aerated when people book. Thanks

Immaculate facility

My friends and I enjoyed our round at Whiskey Creek very much. After a short delay in teeing off due to frost, we played 18 holes without a wait on any hole. The course staff was persistent in keeping us on pace and it helped with moving the slower player in our foursome along. The greens were immaculate. The fairways and tee boxes were in great shape. And we were blessed with perfect fall weather. I would definitely recommend this course to friends and I hope to play there again soon.
