Great Challenging Course

First time at this course. Great variety of past 3s, 4s and 5s. Some up hill, down hill and water hazards. Overall the course was in very good condition considering the lack of rain. Some of the cart paths could use a little work but definitely not the worst of conditions. If your are a beginner get ready for a challenge.

First Time Playing

Solid layout, needs upkeep

First time playing here and I will be back. It’s a course you need to play a handful of times to shoot a good score but man I love this layout. Bunkers were a bit firm for my taste. very hard to judge the proper weight. Tees and fairways could use some upkeep but overall the pro shop is standard, decent practice area all in all a very solid public course for the price.

Whitney Farms-CT

I hadn’t played here in 10 +years, and typically you see differences as nature tends to grow, courses mature, and greenskeeper manage based on budget. Not as crisp as I would have hoped and clearly some areas needed work. Overall the course was fair and enjoyable. I would do the drive from NY again.

Save Your Money

To begin with there is no starter. So you check in and then are left up to your own to figure out what the order of play is. The carts were filthy with trash in each one thatI looked at. The carts had also been hosed down, so they were soaked, seat included, with wet trash in them. The course looked like they haven't put any money into it. Fairways, tee boxes and rough were brown throughout the course. The tee boxes were all chewed up and uneven. Bunkers were terrible. Greens were so slow it was impossible to get anything over 20 feet to the hole. Even the beer inside after the round was lukewarm. Overall I would never be back and would advise anyone else to stay away. Certainly not worth anywhere near the $60 I paid and wouldn't even be worth it with a hot deal.

Really Love Playing Whitney

Whitney farms is always a really enjoyable course to play. Living nearby, I always try to play a round here when I can. The rates vary based on day of the week and time of the day, but they’re always very reasonable. The staff makes sure that pace of play is good, the pro shop while small has a lot to offer, and the restaurant is an amazing post-round stop. Driving range and practice putting green are great places to warm up or practice. Amazing course, 100% recommend playing here if you get the opportunity.

Decent course

I had a good round at the Black Course. It’s a nice course to play. The greens could have been faster.

Extremely Slow and unfriendly

We were placed behind a tourney that went extremely slowly. 3 of my foursome quite after 9. I joined with 2 other players and was threatened by a male following the tourney for “hitting into them” which none of us did. Sponsor of the tourney then came out and yelled at me for doing something none of us did. A complete abomination!
