25 Putts

When I totaled up my putts for my round I could not believe it..... 25!!!! WOW!!!! The greens were running beautiful. The course is tough & tight at times, 6th hole par 5 is not ‘’my”’ friend.! Head pro Billy is a very accommodating. We were a twosome & he sent us out before a foursome. Starting on the 2nd. Thank you Billy! We never saw anyone until the 7th. Conditions were great... greens fantastic... unfortunately the rest of my game didn’t match up to my putting. Despite that, Whitney is always a pleasure to play. I highly recommend this course, although challenging, it’s always a come home course to me.

Always a pleasure

An exceptionally well run public track. In very good shape. Friendly staff. A nice restaurant. Only downside is that the driving range is a little short. As we played the 17th green 5 balls from the range landed on the green. Sine there was only one guy on the range we kind of knew who was hitting it over the fence. Terrible swing but hit it a long way when he connected. Kind of dangerous.

Good Time

Whitney Farms was very enjoyable and offered a moderately challenging round of play. Pace of play was decent and was able to maintain a fairly steady speed to the round for the group of 2 we had. Only thing I would have to comment on was the location and condition of the white tee boxes. They seemed farther back than usual and it looked like there may have been an event or tournament a few days prior, as there seemed to be some heavy play off the area.

First Time Playing

Fine experience

First time playing here. It's very well organized. Excellent condition. Nice staff 3 hours 45minutes to play 18. Highly recommend it. Only drawback, Porto potties on the course, except for the clubhouse.

Poorly run course

Might have been a nicer review if the dozen of EMPTY WATER CONTAINERS had any water in them on this hot , humid day. How unbelievably negligible and dangerous.

We did buy three dollar waters on the turn that didn't last long, Maybe that was your plan?

You better hope no one dies or sues!

Horrible pace of play and no rangers

I don't know the reason for the backup, but we were jammed up the entire front nine. We were hit into twice by the group behind us, once with three balls landing within 15 feet of us as we waited for the group ahead to clear. Thankfully the group behind us left after that. At the ninth there were 2 groups on the tee waiting for the foursome on the green, another foursome on the 8th green, and another waiting in the 8th fairway. Standing on the ninth tee I could see 16 golfers. That just shouldn't happen.

Poor Management

The starter was pushing people on as fast as he could, regardless of tee times, so there wasn't sufficient space between groups. Our foursome teed off 8 minutes early and the starter made a snarky comment that we "just made it." Then we had to wait 15 minutes on the 18th fairway because a wedding group was spread out on the 18th green taking photos while golfers were on the course. Unbelievable and very unsafe.
