About

Holes 18
Type Semi-Private/Resort
Par 72
Length 6985 yards
Slope 147
Rating 75.5

The New Course at White Bluff tips out at 6,964 yards and features water on 16 of 18 holes. Plan your shots accordingly on this tricky track, as there are numerous blind water hazards that you will not know existed unless you’ve played the course before.

This course isn’t as scenic as the Old Course, with no views of the lake, but offers one picturesque par 4 that plays almost 400 yards with pond framed by a large rock bluff. Watch the finger of water that cuts in front of the green on the approach.

Getting there : From I-35 going N, get off at Exit 368A, drive W for about 17 miles to the City of Whitney, head N on FM (Farm to Market) 933 for 7 miles to the course.

Fairly tight course but was still fun! Study the card for the best place to land - it will make a difference...

Great course

This course always delivers. Always in great shape and the greens roll phenomenally. Course is fair but will unusual you for errant shots. Greens did need some rain and fortunately we just got some as of 6/19.

Exceptional value for the money.

Great Course

We really enjoy playing this course. We have played a few times over the past few months and the staff is very friendly and the course (although I am no expert) seems to be in great shape. We will be back to play again soon and look forward to trying out the (re-done) old course soon as well.

Texas Golf at its best

Both new and old courses are fantastic. The new ownership has revived this gem. It’s a must play. The new course has some tight holes and demands a straight ball off the tee for the first 4 holes. The old course will require the same accuracy at start but will open up some in the following holes. Both courses wind their way thru typical hill country with beautiful scenery and abundant deer and wildlife. The greens and bunkers are superbly maintained. This tract won’t disappoint.

Hidden Gem? Revived Beauty?

Found this course on IdealGolder deal. Had to drive 1:30 but so worth it. We were told after being closed for 2 yrs the home owners got together and revised the course. Course and facilities are in great shape. Challenging course and great greens. Just a nice looking track all the way around. Staff was super friendly. Cafe was good too.

Great Course

Played the new course. Greens, fairways and bunkers were all manicured and in great shape. Course has really turned out nice and excited to see what the Old course looks like when complete. Would definitely recommend as an alternative for Waco golfers.
