Good Ol' Whitney
Despite heavy rains on Sunday 6/5 the course was in good shape overall... except for most of the bunkers. Layout at Whitney is always a challenge, actually I think it is one of the best around. New Head Pro is far more friendly promoting excellent customer service than past 'dinosaur'... The one item that Whitney still needs, a good practice putting green. But then there is Tashua down the road a bit... excellent practice facility. Combine the two and WOW! It would almost like being at home which is TPC Sawgrass.
Greens aerated
Gave a lower rating because the greens were aerated
Some tee boxes need work
Main fairways in excellent shape
Still early in the year
Great Public Course
Really enjoy playing at Whitney Farms on Saturdays and whenever else I can get out there.
As public course go, it's in the best shape of any in Fairfield county. Very challenging to golfers of all levels and a beautiful place for couples golf or any type of outing from a twosome to a 200 person tournament.
New to golfnow.com, it's still an undiscovered gem. I'd definitely recommend checking it out- and bring your A game.
Great course
Somewhat difficult course but very fair. I have played here multiple times and the course is always in great shape. Only negative is that I would like to be able to practice on a bigger and more realistic practice green. I would and have recommended this course to friends
Challenging course
Nice course. Very challenging if not a long ball hitter. Will probably be in better shape further into the Spring an Summer. Will definitely play again.
RUDE and UNPLEASANT STAFF
The course charged full price for NO GOLD FORWARD TEES, they had been removed and when I asked about it, I was told that I should have looked at the 1st tee box!
Charging FULL greens fees and no ball washers or water at any hole!
WOMEN, DO NOT PLAY at Whitney Farms! They have no interest in us playing there!
Quick 9 and back to office
Got to play a quick 9 at Whitney farms in one hr. This was November 17 so not crowded on course. Course was in great shape and greens were amazing. Nice course to play with creative and challenging design.
Great Course!
Layout nice , fairways and greens in great shape. Played blue tees. Greens roll fast, some with ridiculous slope and undulation. Some bunkers needed more sand, I bottomed out twice, hitting clay, and bladed the ball.
excellent condition
The entire course was in better than most local courses and the greens were in perfect condition although because they are somewhat hilly can be a challenge. This is a challenging but fair test. If you are playing well you are rewarded but if you are having an off day can be punishing.
Nice course
Challenging course in great condition. Fairways are narrow must keep the ball straight if you hit the ball straight you can score well here
Great quality public golf course
The course was in great shape and the course has lots of challenges. Many par 5a and decent par 3s as well. The greens were in great shape.
Still good from playing
Course has held up from the heat and watering,its still green with some dried out spots in rough not fairways.worth the play you will enjoy the course.
Two big problems
I used Golf Now to book the reservation as at a Senior Rate. At the course I was not charged the Senior rate.
The back nine had just been aerated. It was like putting on a pegboard. We should have been made aware of this aeration either at the time of the reservation or at the course. The Pro Shop staff was indifferent and not helpful.
My yard is in better condition
Tee boxes looked like a just cut the fairway. Fairway's were shabby and the course was loaded with crabgrass. My lawn looks better. This was once one of the premier courses in the area. Certainly not worth the $72 to ride. Much better courses in the area for the money. Skip this if you can
One of the best around
Everything about this course is excellent. Excellent layout, challenging holes, fantastic greens on the back nine. I cannot say this about the front nine since they were just aerated(that's why a rating of only 4 stars for course conditions). Once the necessary aeration season is over with all the greens will be fantastic. Every employee that I met there was very friendly. You can also get breakfast there before teeing off. I have not experienced that anywhere else in the state of CT. I will be going back
Whitney Farms
this course is in very nice shape, it is a long course
and the greens have some challenging puts, I would recommend it for anyone
Not worth money, stay away
Excessive round time (3 and a half hours for 11 holes) couldn't even finish round. Aloud 6 somes (6 people per group). They aloud tee times on both front and back simultaneously which we realized when we were the third group on 10. Inconsiderate staff that was rude right from the get go. The pro Paul is extremely unprofessional and rude. Was told there was times available and there was actually and outing when I got to the course and had to wait another hour just to play. The course itself was in great condition though.
