I will be coming back
This is a gem of a course hidden out of sight. Course very well maintained and a good mix of features and length for the holes. Water hazards on every hole keeping it interesting. I would come back again for sure.
Yardage is longer than it seemed. Fun round.
At first glance there is not much to get excited about on the drive in. Small country golf course with basic facilities. I didn't think I would enjoy my round but I was pleasantly surprised by the golf course.
Fairways and greens were great. The course appeared short but yardage tells the story. 5571 from white or 6572 gold. So there is lots of distance.
Water makes it a challenge but not so it is frustrating. Easily playable with thought before hitting. I had fun.
Sometimes I wonder if should review where I play? Just means more people will be competing for my tee time :)
Surprise, surprise, surprise
My friend lives in peterboro and we tried this course as it is in between for myself and him to meet. Pleasant surprise, THis course greens were some of the best I have seen this year, it is a shorter course with a lot of twists and turns, you have to hit it straight, the front nine is in better shape than back nine but we had a great day here, started at 1pm and finished a little after 4. some of the fairways are a bit rough but I don't care about that, makes me be more creative. thanks, thought is was great!! will be back! greens are very true! no sand at all hardly as the sand traps were all under repair? not sure but I think so?
Whitetail only lacks a deer sighting!!
A delightful course; good length and lots of shot-making required. Water in play on many holes so bring a couple of extra sleeves. The course is in excellent condition; greens run true but don't take as much break as your eye thinks you need. Take a cart first time but this is a course that should be walked to fully enjoy your round.
challenging course
An enjoyable course but the back nine is much better groomed than the front nine.
bang for your buck
great price for a round of golf with cart
cant complain when you play golf for under 20 dollars
Great course and wonderful staff
A good place to play a round. Course is well kept and staff are great.
Hidden Gem?
As an ex-golf professional and having played a lot of different courses, I was pleasantly surprised by Whitetail. Expecting a typical "cow pasture", the course was instead reasonably well groomed, and the greens were smooth and putted very well. From the very back tees, the course is reasonably challenging, requiring thoughtful placement off the tee on several holes.
My only criticisms are:
1) the overall plot of land is devoid of any elevation changes, reminiscent of some Florida courses, and therefore reducing the challenge and scenic value:
2)the bunker sand is defective...more clay than sand. (though it was apparent on our visit that several bunkers were being repaired, having been completely scooped out...perhaps in preparation for some proper bunker sand?)
Pricing and quality of food (and beer) was quite good.
All in all a good visit, and I would definitely go back.
Great morning round
Great course in good condition. Lots of water to avoid ... donated a few too many balls but had a good time and finished 18 in just over 3 hours.
great day
Golfnow.com was an excellent way to save money playing this course. The new nine hole section is growing in nicely. Workers were out on the course improving the lay out and adding more bunkers. Great course for the money.
Great value with hot deal.
This course is maturing into a nice track. The tees and greens are excellent and the fairways are good...better on the south side. The course is on the shorter side if played from the whites and even the blues the driver out of your hands on many holes. Watch out for the deer flies as they were a constant pest. Overall and excellent day on the course and will be back.
Whitetail golf
South 9 was in really good shape, north 9, not so much. Tees and greens in really good shape but the fairways on the north 9 were bare and like playing on concrete. Bunkers in rough shape but the maintenance dept was picking the weeds out.
Ownership needs to put some serious cash into the north 9 to improve the fairways
the course
The course is in excellent shape,staff was very friendly. The greens are in fantastic shape and rool really well,altho they are not to fast
Gteat Natural Setting
For $25 for 18 holes and cart, this was great value for the money. Very friendly staff. Not a busy day so play was quick but very relaxed. Some tight holes and lots of water call for some strategic play, especially on the north nine. Overall course in good condition. Greens excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our day.
Great course conditions on new 9
This course has matured and finally this is the first year when the new 9 is in good conditon.
The course was very challenging with water on 13 holes and the rough now has grass so you don't have to clean and place in the rough.
Sand traps were needing a lot of work today.
They should lengthen no 9 on the new 9 to make it a par 5(need one more) and they have the room to do it easily.
The new 9 has landscaping work to do in non golf areas but they are doing that as they get to it which is fine as it doesn't affect play.
Enjoyable course to challenge you.
Screaming value, very nice course
Never played here before but was pleasantly surprised by the condition of the course, the greens were excellent.
Course is a little narrow but is not a knock against it as it keeps things challenging and interesting.
Well placed hazards and obstacles make you re-think driver off more than a few tee boxes and force you to lay up or take a different approach.
Playing from the blue 6100yd tees was a tad short, the golds were not set up on the day I played but it didn't really hamper my enjoyment of the course.
I play many different courses within the GTA, some costing 4X as much so I was really pleased with the overall experience at under $50/pp, will definitely be back.
Nice fairways, greens, staff
Nice fairways, greens. Gotta stay outta they rough or uve lost ur ball. Can't really fully drive on the course, fairways restrict it a bit. Beautiful course though and really friendly staff.
not every >12 capper should play the blue, i can drive it straight 300-315 90% of the time, but i struglle with putting and thats were my higher handicap comes from
