Spring Start

Nice day, despite previous rainy day course was in good shape for season start! Always perfect when pace of play is good and no waiting to tee off.

Challenging holes but not intimidating, great signature hole!

Good considering weather

The wind was bad early on but because of course setup it was not affecting play too much. I'm not that good so being on the course pretty much alone was great. Took my time and learned some things along the way. Staff was friendly and courteous

Will try again when weather is better

Not worth the money

Tee boxes and fairways were in good shape. Greens are awful. Extremely hard , like concreate. Sand traps are a joke. They should call them dirt traps because thats whats in there. For 70+ dollars there are better options near by.

Hi u041274645, We're sorry to hear you did not enjoy your day on the golf course. Hard greens and bare sand traps can make a round more difficult. We will consider this and assess accordingly for the new season. Hopefully, you can come back and give us a chance to improve this 2 star rating. Best, Whitney Farms Golf Course

Nice course..rock hard greens

The course was in good shape for fall not to many leaves around. If not for playing with someone with course knowledge we would have been lost..No idea where greens were. Greens in great shape but rock hard..balls would not hold even with wedges ..could not get divot tool into the green not that you really needed one...may give it another shot in the summer.

Challenging golf course with a great layout and excellent greens

Whitney Farms is an above average golf course worth playing. The layout of the golf course has minimal overlay of other holes. There is A variety of holes with a decent amount of elevation change. Greens are nice and quick with some slope. Very friendly staff at pro shop and in the dinning room. Golf carts were newer Yamaha gas models that were quieter than average.

Fall Golf at Whitney Farms

Glorious fall day; very backed up because of a woman's tourney in the morning: Waited on every hole until the 14th; Course was in good shape, but greens were difficult to hold: Front more difficult then the back: Used a hot deal that justified the day; Would play here again, but only at a discounted price: Grille was also closed by the time we wandered in:

Decent course, sketchy condition

The fairways are ok rough, fringe and bunkers were poor and while the greens putted well they were rock hard and won't hold even well hit short irons.

I won't be back, I expected more for the price.

If you have a chance you should play this course. Each hole is unique, you have to make your shots, and the greens are in great shape.
