Whitwood Golf Course

For a municipal course the greens are very good,

A very tough SI1 with wind in your face 3 or 4 very nice holes but I’m not a Love right of playing 9 holes twice and theirs not much difference in the new Tee position .

Will play again but only do 9 holes.

What you see is what you get at Whitwood. Twice round the 9 holes of varying difficulty using the terrain well.

Not the most difficult but the addition of 7 new tee positions has added to the experience.

More sand in bunkers always helps but that could be said for most courses.

Greens whilst not particularly difficult were in great condition.

Great little course. Good for beginners. Great value for money

The course has improved with the addition of split tee positions for those playing 18 holes which gives some holes a bit more of a challenge. The biggest change is to the maturity of the course is the tree lines and size of the tress from my last visit here. The course is a lot more mature and has added character to several parts of the course. The additional tees are in some parts suffering from poor grass growth and the fairways of a few holes have always had the sub soils and base layers showing through which gives a bad play off surface in several parts. Holes 4, 5, 9 are the ones that have suffered this for years. Greens are good and bunkers are ok but the sand is a course mix Nd hard going when wet. The course is worth a visit and at £15 for 18 holes is value for money .

For £11 for 18 holes this 9 hole course is great value. Yeah the fairways are a little rough In parts but the greens run smooth which is way more important to my play! Different tee boxes for back 9 too!

this is the second time we have played this course, and for the time of year was in great condition.The. greens were responsive and running well,

Played the course for the first time, greens were very good and decent pace, good tee blocks, overall a good course for all levels of ability

An average course, holes a bit confusing especially finding the 8th Tee as it was not clearly marked and the course card showed it on the wrong side of the trees. Overall though nothing bad to say or spectacular either, just and average course. The green keepers seemed busy though so it is looked after. I would play again at the right price

We didn't discover until after booking that this is a 9 hole course played twice. Under the circumstances the control of tee-off is somewhat lax. Some 'walk-ups' tee'd off just a couple of minutes before our booked time. As a result we were delayed and missed our tee-off time for the second round. As it happened the pressure was off at this time (1.15 p.m.) and we didn't have to wait long for a slot. The design and scenery of the course is fine but the fairways were on the poor side of average - grass too long in parts and too sparse in others. My wild drives were often in the bundu - lost 4 balls (found 5). Could do with some improvement in user aids - Indication of where the next tee is and an outline of the shape of the hole for instance. Altogether fair value for money.

9 hole course quite forgiving the only out of bounds is on the first tee to the right, the greens are in good condition the fairways are patchy around the edges on a couple of the holes but not a problem if you play straight down the middle, overall not a bad little course, the 7th and 8th are over a blind hill dog leg left not a problem if the golfers in front remember to ring the bell, annoying when your waiting for the bell and they don't. Hot deal £11 for 18 holes on a Saturday cant complain for that money.

So, so windy. Not the club's fault but did make the round difficult. Ground was in decent condition, rough was not too challenging, deviously placed bunkers. Being a nine hole course means it is long twice over. Personal preference is one or two shorter holes, the par 3 is about 160 yards.
