Needs some mowing

This course has a great layout, and friendly staff, but needs mowing. The front 9's fairway was almost as long as the rough.

Moderately Challenging Resort Course

The Whitebirch golf course at Breezy Point Resort is a moderately challenging course that can be enjoyed by golfers of all skill levels. The course features five sets of tees ranging from 6,680 to 4,718 yards. The topography varies from relatively flat to gently rolling, with no extreme elevation changes. Tree coverage on the flatter holes is fairly light and mostly evergreens, while the more rolling fairways are lined with denser tree coverage, primarily hardwoods. Fairways are fairly generous, but a few get quite narrow in strategic locations. Greens are large and gently undulating, and several slope sharply from back to front, so staying below the hole is a must. Having played Deacon’s Lodge the day before, our foursome found these greens to be slower, but not by much. They were smooth and rolled true, with several lengthy putts successfully holed. The opening hole is a 322 yard (from the middle men’s tees) par 4 that doglegs to the left toward a significantly elevated tee. Tee shots that are short or too far left will have to go over a tree that guards the left side of the green. On the other hand, tee shots on the right may have to carry a bunker when the pin is set on the right side of the green. The sixth hole is a visually attractive 349 yard par 4 with an elevated tee shot to a valley from which you’ll be hitting your approach shot to an elevated green that slopes quite a bit from back to front. The number one handicap hole is the par 5 seventh, which seems short at 483 yards from the middle tees. However, danger lurks on a blind second shot, where the fairway narrows at about 330 yards out from the tee with a pond on the right and woods on the left. If you’re riding, take the time to drive up to see exactly what lies in front of you on this hole. Choosing the right club to use for your tee shot on the 16th hole, a 354 yard par 4 will require some thought. From an elevated tee you’ll face a tee shot that must carry a pond to a fairway that doglegs slightly to the right and has several bunkers lining the right side of the fairway. Being long over the water may seem like the safe choice until you notice OB all along the left side of the fairway. A par here will be well-earned. The finishing par 5 hole plays a lot longer than the posted 523 yards because it’s all uphill. The fairway is wide open and the only trouble is that a severely pulled or hooked ball may find OB on the right. Finish with a par and enjoy a cold beverage and lunch or dinner at Antlers Restaurant which is located in the clubhouse.

Decent course

My son and I playe 18. Was an absolutely beautiful day out. 75 and sunny. We have played the course before. It was in the best shape I have seen it in. Pace of play was ok. Had two groups in front of us that were pretty slow but never had to wait more than a couple minutes to hit. It is nice course maybe a little spending for what you get if not for the deal we got on golf now.

slow play

we encountered very slow play from the 8th hole until the end of the round. I think there were some groups from a bachelor party playing and taking way too long. Finally saw a ranger on the 17th hole and told him we were tired of waiting and there 4 groups on a hole several times on the back nine. The ranger told us maybe he should have been out there earlier. They might as well not have a ranger if that's the way it is going to work. Greens very slow and inconsistent also, late spring so I can forget that but not the slow play problem. It will be a long time before I return. Love the area, don't need to play a course that takes up way too much of our time to other things.

Beautiful course

1st time I used golfnow for advanced booking, it was flawless. I'd prefer when an advanced tee time is booked through golfnow and you need to make changes, your original charge would be reimbursed to your credit card vs being put into a golfnow account. Since you do reimburse back to credit card if golf round is canceled due to weather, I REALLY wish you would do credit card reimbursements on any advanced golfnow booking

Please give this some consideration, WAY to much to keep track of/maybe forget you have a golfnow balance. I will continue to use your services plus recommend to others as the possible savings per round can be substantial. Thanks

Lovely part of Minnesota

Always a pleasure to play golf in this area. Not much in the way of services before or after golf. No towels, GPS carts, etc. Things I expected at this course. Nice but not the best in the area.

Good for a casual round

Played a pm round after spending the morning at Deacon's Lodge. Course has a couple interesting holes, but overall more for the casual golfer or for a warm-up round.

Overpriced. Good 4 people who don't play much.

Convenient location if your staying at BP Resort. Course is fairly wide open so you can often get away with spraying shots (good for the infrequent golfer). Overall course condition was fair. I payed std rates which was not a good value for what you got. Would only play it again for sub $50 rate incl cart. Got on just after a large group outing had teed off and round was super slow. Hopefully this is not the std pace of play. They do have a very nice range and practice area.

Whitebirch: Convenient location, underwhelming course

Played Whitebirch Sept of last year.

As guests of the Whitebirch part of the BP resort, the location was very convenient (the 18th hole was right in front of our back patio), but the course was a little disappointing.

Greens were in pretty rough shape. Many of the greens had large areas with brown spots.

I believe it was hole #10 that was being renovated or something and was very confusing.

Pretty basic layout. Hole #16, however, was particularly interesting with a very scenic tee shot.

Felt like more of a course for infrequent golfers who either don't play often, haven't played in a while or are just looking to have a good time with their friends or family than for the serious golfer.

I believe our GolfNow discounted rate was for $35 a person for 18 holes with a cart, which was still not a great deal for this quality of course compared to other GolfNow deals, especially in the Fall. Only reason we played here was because Deacon's Lodge was completely booked. We would have preferred to pay extra for a nicer course.

nice layout

The course still had some winer kill on a few greens, just small patches. Rough was rough and thick,, course has many holes that are tree lined, looking for accurate tee shots. Greens were pretty speedy, even with the rain that came the night before. Greens are very undulating but fairly large. Over a good and challenging course with plenty of trouble but fun to play. The staff were very friendly and came around often to try and keep the pace of play moving.

Greens are a bit rough

Fairways were I good shape but some of the tee and greens were in rough shape. Been a long winter season and it shows. It was a lovely day to golf in the lakes area and we had a wonderful time!!
