Nice

We had a very good time despite the 100 degree temperature. We had a foursome consisting of 2 rank beginners and it was really the perfect time for this. There was not much traffic on the course so we were not hurried by groups behind and we had nobody in front of us. We played at our best pace and the round was enjoyed ny everyone. The staff was very friendly. The course is a little dry in spots, but it was a great deal we got, so we can't complain at all. I used to play here 25+ years ago and the greens are in much better shape now than they were then! We'll be back.

Not my first choice

The greens and fairways were in great condition (except one fairway). The blue tee boxes are uneven and terrible. The white and forward tee boxes are a lot better and flat. The ruff is horrible. It's not very good grass to hit out of. The bunkers were over watered, too. All in all, i don't recommend this course.

Poorly maintained, trash, foul smell.

Brown spots & uneven grass everywhere on rough and even on fairwa and NOT maintained well. No supervisions & no marshals seen anywhere as players in carts were jumping everywhere from holes to holes. Hole 8 on Pine there were trash everywhere by workers' shed and on rough with foul smells and flies buzzing in cloud. Not worth the money & trip.

quick 9

course was in great shape it gets played alot, but greens were almost immaculate (a few pitch marks here and there on par 3's) they are letting the rough grow out a little longer and the fairways were cut and green no dirt patches, played here alot over the years and the last year or so they are really maintaining it alot better. pace for the 9 holes was quick 1 1/2 to 2 hours playing two balls (nobody behind or in front of us we had the whole course to ourselves)

Muni Course, Muni Condition

Pretty much got what I paid for at Whittier. The conditions were so-so, pretty bumpy ride everywhere on the course which gives you an idea of the terrain (potholes, etc.). The grading aside, the course was green and in good shape and to me, that makes for a more enjoyable round than playing somewhere like Skylinks where it's a better track but completely dried out.

The course plays long from the blues but no forced carries and fairly wide open. Pace of play was good, we had a 5-some in front of us with some hackers that slowed us down and caused a 4.75hr round. The also stack them up on tee 1, we teed off almost 45 minutes late (some of that our fault). But the pace is good from tee 2 on.

Bottom-line, for the price, good course to have some beers and hang with your boys. If you're looking to really play a round of golf, kick up to the next price point.

Good enough for enjoy your game

This wide opened course giving us fun all the time.
Course built looks like common but you need attention each hole.
More than half of 18 holes you still need skill your
game management.
If you make hook or slice shot,you can find out your ball but you will get interrupted by different type of trees.
Staffs here very kind with no doubt.
You lucky unless you meet slow players front of your some.
Anyway we would like to come play here whenever we want.
Definitely fine course for every level of golfers.

Whittier Narrows Review

The course is wide and long. Due to it's wide courses, it seems like an easy enough course. However, the greens are small and the way bunkers are set up, they give you challenges. Had a lot of fun here, and will come back in the short future.
