Reviews
Great Course
For a public course it is very well maintained. Challenging and interesting layout. Great value.
Great public course
The course was in great shape and the layout is good with more than a few challenges. Unfortunately, this time around we were stuck behind an outing so we only decided to play 11 holes. It just got to slow, so we came in. Other than that the course was fine. Outings are to be expected this time of year. (Sept) it's just the luck of the draw.
Livonia Delight
For a city course that gets a lot of play, Whispering Willows is in great shape.
Took an hour for the first hole
Overbooked with a less than caring club house staff
pretty good for a municipal course
I play this course a lot mostly because of convenience. It's near the freeway, it's easy to get a tee time, the staff is friendly, it's usually a quick round, especially during the week. But it's also a very nice course. The greens are almost always faster than they look, there are a handful of really challenging holes and there are some scoring opportunities. I wish it were longer or had another set of tees in back.
Ranger?
I guess courses in general don't have marshalls anymore. I have seen them on this course but not on the day I played. Had a Lady and son in front for first 3 holes. Not until I finally got frustrated and hit up on them did she offer to let me by. 30 minutes for 3 holes. After that 15 holes in 2 hours. As far as the course, it is in great shape. Just need to be aware that the pace out here can be brutal at times.
Very nice course to play.
This course will look tame to you at first sight, but don't be fooled. Gotta think about what club your hitting and your shot placement strategies. Go play it!!
Thank you for the kind review! We hope to see you back again soon!

Good layout. Nice pace of play. Greens were good. A little short on yardage but plenty of tight fairways with lots of mature trees. I will be back. It was a nice round
Thank you for your review and glad to hear you enjoyed your round!
Pace of play / tee time
Not a bad track, too bad they put tee times so close together, sometimes it's painful if you don't get teed off early. I usually tee it up here (early) once or twice a year.
Whispering Willows
Although still somewhat early into the golfing season,
the conditioning and maintenance of the course was very disappointing. Tees were not rolled and crowned front front to back, fairways were very narrow and mediocre condition, the roughs were greatly overgrown and balls were falling to the bottom of the grass which made it difficult to locate and slowed the pace of play, and the green had not been rolled and showed a large amount of winter damage.
It is early in the season, but this course was in the poorest condition of the eight or nine courses I have played this season.
Good course
This course satisfied me so much except to pace.
Short and challenging
Course is fairly flat but lots of dog legs and a long par 3. Hole #2 needs 2 perfect shots to get to the green.
keeper
very friendly professional operation
Beautiful course with the right amount of challenge
This course was very beautiful and had the right amount of challenge. The greens were challenging and well groomed. The fairways were lined with trees and there was water in some locations. We loved the course and this is now our favorite course.
Great course. Great value
Son & I played early morning. Course was in very good condition Tee boxes were crowned making it difficult to find a flat position. Overall the course was extremely enjoyable
Poorly Managed
The course puts people out every 3 mins. There are backups on many holes. Rangers are friendly, but don't do their job. We saw a five some a couple of times and the rangers just drove by. The course itself can be challenging and was in good shape, but don't plan on playing in anything under 5 hours on a weekend.

Purposely hitting in to the group in front of you is never the right answer and has no place on our, or any golf course. Potentially injuring a woman and child is not worth a faster round and we in no way condone this behavior. 3 holes in 30 minutes makes you on pace for a 3 hour round and is about as far from a brutal pace as you can get.
