Lovely Track

Great day at Whitney Farms. I’ll definitely be back. It’s much easier to get a tee time here compared some courses just a little bit west and the course is just as lovely.

I saw some negative reviews recently but playing this course today was a total joy. I read some complaints about the greens but they are totally fine. YES there are some challenging undulations but THATS golf. The greens were a TAD on the slower size so that made the undulations break even more but greens were in great shape. Number 8 tee box in under repair so instead of a par 5 it is a short par 4.

Good variety of hole lengths. You may use a wedge and a wood (and irons) on the par 3s. There’s plenty of short par 4s to give you scoring chances but the par 5s are long, in particular, number 6 which is all uphill after the tee shot.

Range and practice green are right next to the first tee which is great. People are friendly, it’s not too expensive and a great golf course.

Course in very good shape

I’ve played this course for three years.

It’s in the best shape I’ve seen

Pace is a bit slow, but nothing to fret about. Greens are challenging and in good condition.

Decent course, but either course or GolfNow did not share information that back nine was closed

Day started off poorly because I found out at course that the back nine was closed(installing irrigation system) this was not shared on your website. The front nine was in good shape but when finished with that nine there was serious back-up and confusion and no starter,ranger to help organize the replay of front nine.

An attempt to get money back for the back nine was met with vigorous objection by staff than an offer of a nine hole rain check, which did me no good since I am not local to the area. I saw a threesome and asked if I could play with them(no help from staff) . I played but we had to wait on every hole; got pushed by group behind even though they could see there was a group ahead .

This sure wasn’t the nice day I had planned. Also, the cost was too high compared to other courses and especially given the fact that they delivered 9 not 18 holes of golf as a surprise.

Great course

Course was in good shape. Tee boxes were hard and broke a couple tees just trying to tee up the ball. I would suggest a cart, alot of hills, not walker friendly. The greens were same speed all the way around. I will golf there again, but ill get a cart next time.

Okay at best

Not very challenging if you can keep the ball in play off the tee, but the greens are silly. Not so much that they are fast when putting, but even with high approach shots with lots of spin they don’t hold at all. I was hitting 15 yards short of the green by the end of the round with wedges which is just dumb. Basically hard as a rock. Also the bunkers have zero sand in them so you are basically playing off hard dirt. You also get penalized for hitting good shots. Balls run through fairways constantly even with very good shots. Just kind of gimmicky through and through. Better public options with sterling, great river, oak hills, etc.

Also, tons of maintenance going on as well. There was a 73 yard par 3 on the back.....

Overall good

Course has a nice layout and is more challenging than it seems. Must be very accurate with shots and have proper club selection and course management.

The two negatives our group noticed was pace of play was not maintained by a group which caused a big backup. Secondly, the greens were impossibly firm. The ball could land straight down in the middle of the green and shoot off the back. No ball mark repair tool necessary.

Whitney Farms Covid 19 play

We enjoyed a beautiful afternoon on the course with little interaction due to great safety precautions. So happy they opened the course and look forward to going back soon! Thank you to the staff for making it happen!

Poor shape

Greens were in terrible shape. Extremely long and sandy. Tee boxes very hard, patchy, and uneven. Odd for this place since it usually used to be in good shape.

Yardage markers / sprinkler heads

Second time playing here since 2016 and the immediate recollection of yardage markers reminded me why I stayed away.

This course is SO poorly marked for yardages it’s embarrassing. Feel like playing a round completely blind and consistently guessing? Enjoy.

Teeing grounds...complete joke. No identifiable obvious markers unless you find a needle in a haystack and...yup...158. Great. It this to the Middle? Front? Back?

Fairway sprinkler heads...zilch. Shows such a lack of basic golf course operations.

They seem to take payments like a fine tuned machine...imagine putting 1/10th of that efficiency into presenting a properly marked golf course.

GM / Head pro and all staff should be embarrassed sending out PAYING customers.

There’s several terrific companies who will create detailed and accurate yardage guides that...wait for it...you can monetize and profit from. What a novel idea.

Never again...will NOT recommend to anyone.
