Challenging day at Whitney Farms

I played Whitney Farms yesterday and it started in frustration. I had a 1:33 tee time and the other three of the group failed to show up. I was made to wait until others came. Finally, three others were put together in a foursome. They were really nice guys, but very poor golfers which led to an unusually long round.

Still Solid course

Pace of play is bit slower on weekends but still manageable. Always a pleasure and a challenge always is there on a few holes for you to improve your game.

At times tournament play chews up the hard work of the grounds crew.

Yardage markers

Decent course in good condition with nice greens. Only issue I have was that we were continually looking for yardage markers which did become a pain but apart from that, all good.

Great local course

Course was in great shape. Early round and pace of play was great finished with 4 players in under 4hrs.

Weather conditions with varying heights of tees and greens on some holes make this and interesting course each time played.

Would recommend but not for the beginner player.

Don't pay at course. Got ripped off for $45 when other players used golf ow payed $31

Greens were horribly slow and did not roll at all. Had to strike the ball so hard to reach the cup which would have been 20' past on any other course. In our foursome there wasn't one putt that went in first try.

Course was in excellent shape and I pretty much agree with most of your other reviewers. Greens here are quite undulating and you pretty much never have a straight putt if you are anywhere outside of 3 feet. There are certain holes which are quite difficult to par, holes 3, 6, 7, and 16 for me specifically. I believe this would hold true for golfers of all levels.

The pace of play was excellent as we played under 4 hours but we did play on a weekday. I have found that the staff in the pro shop to always be courteous and accommodating.

All in all I find this course to be quite challenging and a good test of one's golfing ability.

wheres the ranger!!!

overall, not horrible. the 4 some 2 groups ahead of us was playing a match for $$$, and proceeded to play a insanely slow round. got thru the front 9 in 2:15. not bad for a saturday. the back 9 however, close to 3:30!!! 4some 2 groups ahead was playing a skins game, took easily 10 minutes on EVERY tee box figuring out $$$. ended up waiting stupidly long time for them. where is the ranger in a time like this? gives course bad name!

A fair but challenging course

A fair but challenging course with ample opportunity to score. You'll find several holes that will require pin point shots from tee to green but the majority of the holes will give you a chance to recover if you should stray off the fairways. Approach shots a must as the greens are speedy but true. As in a lot of courses you need to stay below the hole and don't give them all the break you might see.

Good Muni for an Okay Price

Course is usually in great shape, especially where it matters. Management is very lax, can be a positive and negative. When there is a slow group no one will speed them up. Can be a challenging course from the back especially when they start cutting the pins in some of the bigger undulations. 18th green has elephants under it practically.

Better have your A game

Quite a challenge and it will be a long day if you're not long and straight. Pin positions on this day were all on side hills which made 3 putting way too easy. Play to the front of every green so you can putt uphill. Worst practice putting green in the state but nice range close to the 1st tee. Nice restaurant, bar and food was good.

Good value

Course was in good condition. Greens have killed nicely from aeration. Slow pace of play for Friday afternoon. No Ranger on the course. No communication between Pro Shop check in and starter. Confusion at First Tee with multiple groups.

Late Summer Gem

Again course was in great shape, compliments to ground crew. Finished round in a little over 3hr., pace of play was great. Par 5s are long but do able if you hit long tee shots. Location of holes & weather combine to make each hole & shot interesting!

Course fairways were a bit hard ground and balls tended to bounce erratically. Greens were also very undulating and a bit inconsistent in speed. Otherwise course was enjoyable but a ranger to ride the course and needs to speed up play with many beginners taking several extra shots each hole.
