Amazing Golf but a Bit Busy
The course & facility are top notch. It was a bit slow in pace of play both days I played there, early afternoon tee times. Pay the extra for prime morning times, should be much better pace of play.

Great course
With the exception of one green that needs to be blown up, this course is one of the next values in the area. Great course, conditions, staff is excellent. Would play both Whirlwind courses regularly if I lived here.
