Challenging Course
Golf condition is very good. Nice layout and very challenging. Staff were great and professional.
Much improved
The Woodlands course is much improved. Last year when playing…there were fairways that were not in good shape. This year they are in great shape. Greens were excellent as well as the staff.
New superintendent.
Always loved playing this course for $55.
It went downhill in the last 2-3 years and became overpriced at $99.
We went there because all other course in the area were full.
They have always had issues with the bunkers. (8+ inches of rain)
Greens were a bit slower than normal. But putted much better.
New superintendent has this course back on the upswing.
Enjoyable couese
We had a great time. The greens were fast but the pace was slow due to the player ahead of us. Loved the GPS and Blue tooth in the carts. Everyone was very nice too.
Whittaker Woods Spring 2026
Played this course last year and it was in rough condition so wanted to give it a chance this year and I’m glad we did. Got it at a great price from golf now at $33 so the course value at that was excellent, course condition was wet and cart path only which sucked we have played other courses near there and even with all the rain the other courses were dry. Hoping they can get the drainage figured out. Seen it was rated 3 stars and I would have agreed for last year but I would give it a 4 star review.
Could be great…
I frequent the area and always seem to play Whitaker Woods. This summer, I played twice.
This place is the preeminent public golf course in the area, and could be fantastic. Unfortunately , the course condition continues to disappoint. The tee boxes are a joke…weeds everywhere.
The staff is great, all locals doing their best but the clubhouse was dead on a beautiful Friday afternoon …TV’s off, no music, no bartender, no food except pre-made ham sandwiches. Not a soul enjoying the beautiful outdoor patio.
With some course maintenance , social media marketing, live music, & drink specials - you could get this place rockin & make some money on booze (duh.)
I was robbed
Paid $183 for 2 players and range balls. Should have known by the range condition that this wasn’t worth $83, let alone $183. I now understand why, on a gorgeous Friday, there were plenty of tee times available. The aerated greens (which I knew about) hadn’t been mowed in at least 3-4 days, weeds…..weeds…..weeds in the fairway and teeing areas. When there weren’t weeds, it was because the tee was bare.
Not what is used to be.
I’ve played many rounds here over the years. Some mistake or neglect has left the fairways, tee boxes, and greens in terrible condition. Paid $85 for green fee which added to the disappointment.
Duped
This course actually does have a lot of potential. Pretty nice layout very tight but playable. The tee boxes were atrocious. The problem was we booked 18 holes and when we show up the person in the golf shop informs us that the back nine is closed and we have to play the front nine twice. And not only that, the front nine greens were just aerated. He made it fair in his mind by giving us a very small discount. Next time as a courtesy to your customers who might not care about a little discount, please let them know about these changes in playing conditions. It was a bait and switch. Communication is crucial in the hospitality business.
Horrible
Couldn't give zero stars for course condition. Absolutely pathetic. Not worth $40 let alone he $90 I paid.
Great layout wasted by slow play, poor conditions and poor service
Course layout is a good test but took 4 hours 45 minutes to play, course was soggy and green were spongy and very slow and no service - no greeting or direction on arrival/handled own clubs/halfway house had no food. Under new ownership which is adding no value. I live less than 5 minutes from course and will not be going back anytime soon. Very sad because course has so much potential.
Very Bad
This course used to be awesome, but the conditions now basically make the course unplayable. The bunkers are all basically cement, tee boxes are just dirt patches and greens or completely burned out. Need major fixes in order to make this course playable again.
Hello just wanted to reach out I'm the Superintendent, here at the Woodlands Course at Whittaker those aren't weeds on the tee boxes it just a different variety of grass and the mower doesn't cut them we are working to getting around to getting those cleaned up. Thank you for playing the course and leaving a review. Hope that you will be coming back.
