Course is neglected by management company
Municipal course that is totally neglected by the overseeing management company that puts bare minimum effort into maintaining the course. Greens are often uncut,or poorly cut,slow and diseased/burned out. Fairways are in equally poor shape. Sand traps are never raked and full of rocks. You will find ZERO water coolers on the entire course during the summer. It is very sad considering it is a challenging layout ,with some holes designed by Donald Ross. On top of the poor conditions..they offer no twilight rates at all, almost $60 to ride this course ..I can't say enough BAD things about how Johnson Management takes care of this course.

Course Layout
I have played many courses in the Southcoast area and I have never been so disappointed as I was after "playing" Whaling City.
I was truly embarrassed with everything from the circa 1965 clubhouse and amenities to the lack of attention to golfer needs.
I inquired about food and was given the response: "well it is the end of the year and there is not any food most of the time".
The bar was an experience.
The female bartender was surly and acted as if she was doing ME a favor!
Her language was filthy as was her demeanor.
AWFUL. The management should be reevaluated.
