Hole 18 Photo submitted by DavidLaDuke on 06/23/2015
We had fun.
We had a great time. Holes are interesting and challenging. Course was in good shape for the winter we had and late spring.
I'll play there again.
Great course but a couple rude people ruined the afternoon.
My wife and I played hooky from work on a Friday afternoon and enjoyed a beautiful day until we ran into a couple of real jerks (I'm keeping it clean in my description). At the 15th hole, these two jerks came charging up through us playing, made all kinds of false accusations and told my wife "you should be playing out here honey." Needless to say neither one of us took it well. I've been playing for almost 30 years and have never had something like that happen. I've always been very conscientious of other players, as I expect the same from others.
My wife refused to play anymore and we went to the club house to complain. At first, the guy behind the counter seemed to have the same attitude but eventually made it right. The other staff were very helpful and enjoyable. The course is beautiful and challenging. I will go back but I don't expect it will be with my wife again.
Great all round experience. Fairways and Greens in excellent condition.
This course in SW Michigan is a great deal for the price. I needed to play a Michigan course as part of my "bucket list" goal of playing a round in all 50 States. It was number 42 on my list and I am pleased to say a very pleasing experience. Thanks to Ed and Mike for assisting with my goal.
Great course and great staff!
One of the best courses in the state of Michigan. Every hole is beautiful. The pro Steve and his staff do a great job of making you feel at home. I would play it every day if I could.
Great Course & Pristine Greens
Very tough course if you are not a straight hitter. if you have a slice or hook you can't control, bring a lot of balls and play a game of sporting golf.
Some great holes.
The course was in good shape even with the heavy dose of rain.
Unbelievable Value with GolfNow Pricing!
Whittaker Woods is a beautiful and challenging course that is a fair value even at full price. Playing it with the GolfNow discount made it an unbelievable value!
The course is very well maintained and really beautiful throughout all 18 holes. Whittaker Woods challenges you to think your way around the course with shot selection, club selection and the need to carefully read the greens. The clubhouse and facilities were all top notch.
I look forward to going back soon and often.
Terrific course. Beautiful setting.
Whittaker Woods is fast becoming the 'must play' facility of any golfer's summer vacation. "Woods" is the operative descriptor of this lush and challenging course. Add a steady breeze to a bright sunny day--as my 2 playing partners and I encountered, and the round becomes a few strokes tougher. The pristine fairways are surrounded by long fescue, creeks, and ponds in addition to the ball-swallowing woods. The greens are true and fast, but fair. Worth an hour's drive, and with the GolfNow deal, it's got to be on your 'courses to play' list.
The course was beautiful!
The restaurant served great food and Jaimie are waitress/bartender was super friendly. The golf course was beautiful and well maintained. The course is a little challenging, we lost a lot of balls in the narrow fairways.
Overall very nice course!
This course was gorgeous! It is well maintained from tee boxes, fairways, to the greens. Very challenging being there are narrow fairways and many hazards to start off every hole. I would definitely try this course again but make sure to bring all my leftover golf balls to lose first.
lot of blind tee shots
nice long but fair course many blind tee shots lots of high weed growth
everything went perfect
would not have played if it wasn't for golfnow ! GLAD I DID ! THANK YOU
Bring lots of balls
Course has lots of tall grass, blind shots and narrow fairways. I would recommend this course to anyone who has a average to better than average game. If your an average player or less I would suggest playing from the white tees.
Whittaker Woods Course Review
Course was in great condition and staff was friendly.
However, only five groups were on the entire course, so no beverage cart was running. It was a hot day!!
Great course, a little tricked up.
Played the white tee's on a beautiful but, very hot day. Course in excellent condition, greens beautiful, stimped about 9 or 10. Definitely a course you need to play more then once to figure out where not to hit it. A lot of blind shots from the tee's or only partial views of fairways due to tall vegetation. Great course, great layout, super condition but, needs blind shot attention.
Great Course
If you live in Chicagoland area and like to play golf, this course is awesome. Especially when you can get a great deal on golfnow.
Remember it is an hour ahead of Chicago time.
Very good course, excellent staff
Sand traps were a bit hard and unkept, but the scenery was wonderful with the voluptuous rolling mounds. Greens were excellent.
Worth the trip and more
This is the second time I have played this course. I played in the spring before the trees filled in. Now it is in prime condition. It has resort quality staff and amenities. A beautiful day, dropped off my better half at the Casino just 5 minutes down the road. The course I found to be on a par with any place you can play. I have played a number of top 100 courses and Whittaker woods takes a back seat to none of them. The Tees, Fairways and greens are immaculate. Even with the recent rains it was perfect! You can get a very reasonable rate if you keep your eye's peeled but even at the standard weekend rate the course is a bargain. I will be back. I would play there more often if not for the two hour drive from Plainfield IL and the abundance of cousres in that area
One of the nicest course I have ever played!
This course was like playing off of carpet in the fairways and greens were fantastic! The rough had grown up and you were penalized for not hitting the fairways - which you should be! Great, great time and wish I had tim to play it again. Love it!!
Tough but beautiful.
The course requires you to stay in play. Heavily wooded, but in fantastic shpe.
If only 5 groups were on the course, how was the pace of play so slow?
