The Woodlands Course at Whittaker

Tight front 9 and opens up a bit on the back. Played as a couple with another gentleman. Nice people all around.

Great track, challenging and tight. Course is well maintained. Many forced carries with ungelating greens.

The course is fun and challenging, but I would never pay the full rpice to play here. If you can get the HOT Deal at Golf Now, it is worth it. Fairway conditions were pristine, greens were mostly OK, but a few bare and bumpy spots were out there.

Price was right and speed of play was good . The front nine is tight but fair. Did not eat there this year but I have in the past and would recommend highly.

We decided to play Whittaker Woods while visiting New Buffalo. We found the staff to be very friendly, and they gave us good advice about the course. The front nine is very tight. If you don't hit the ball straight, into the woods it goes and you will never find it. The water hazards are somewhat long and you definitely need to connect to carry them. The back nine is much more forgiving.

Went with a golf buddy, needed a new course to play. We heard good things about Michigan. So we played two courses. This was the second.
It rained the night before heavy, so in the morning the course was very wet, but by midway through the front nine fairways had dried up a little, greens were drying out.
Over all design is a good design, tight fairways and challenging drives on front 9 back 9 is easier, due to wider fairways. Overall great round for the price. Staff was super friendly. Would play this again.

We very much enjoyed our round. Played on the 4th with friends, Greens were excellent and had American Flags...Very Nice touch.

Great track cut through the forest. Right fairways and lots of trees. Great shape and fast pace play.

Whittaker Woods is a great course to challenge yourself with. The front nine is a bit tight in spots, so hit it straight. The back nine opens up, but still challenges you. Greens are large and roll true and fast. Staff was very friendly from the time we pulled into the parking lot until we left. Nice golf experience.

Great value for money. The course is very challenging especially from back tees.

Despite having to reschedule twice due to rain the freindly staff carried over our discounted rate
The food was good but not world class but also reasonably priced
The course was in good shape but since all of the rain they didn't mow for a couple day. I anticipate coming back here

Great golf course. Greens were excellent. Will be back

Whittaker Woods is just as good as any private course. Greens were lighting fast and rolled true. One of the most challenging and beautiful courses you will ever play. By the way, bring a lot of balls with you to this course. The fairways are tight and has many trees.

The highlight of our day was Amy the cart girl she came around early and often. The course was excellent, Slightly over watered but apparently a must due to the weather. Other than that Whittaker woods is a classic old school course cut out of the lush wooded areas and marshes

Whittaker Woods is a lovely course. Its set-up makes you feel like you are alone on the golf course, with each hole as its own little island. The front winds through trees with challenging landing areas, while the back is longer and more open.

A round of golf at Whittaker is everything you would want it to be, and the green fees, especially for seniors, are very reasonable.

I love the natural setting of this course!! If you could possibly make it more difficult to give a review you could annoy people even further.

Fun, course tight lots of tree's, must hit ball in good position off tee. New Buffalo is a great weekend getaway, and Whittaker Woods, is a nice track worth playing.

This course is as beautiful as it is hard. I play to enjoy the outdoors and scenery and this course does not disappoint. No boring holes stacked next to each other and the ride from hole to hole often takes you through a wooded trail. Grass off Fairway kinda high and putting greens irregular only drawbacks for me. Anyone who has not played it should but do not forget to bring extra golf balls!

Even with the harsh winter and wet spring we had this course was in good condition. The greens were great but it seems some people have a problem repairing their ball marks. That being said, this course is a challenge with long carries and a number of doglegs left. Righties bring your draw because some of the wholes will be a nightmare if you fade or slice. Lefties play on.

If you're a nature lower you'll lover the tall stands of trees and wet lands. There are numerous wholes with forced carries.

Because of the wet spring in SW Michigan the ruff is three or more inches deep. Hopefully, we dry out and the ruff can be cut back.

Have fun.

Whittaker is an amazing test of golf. The course is always in great shape. This round was cart path only due to heavy rain over the past few days, but the course still played fair. Avoid the rough at all costs..it will cost you a shot for sure. I play here 3 or 4 times a year and it is always a pleasure.
