Whitefish Golf and Grill
Course is dry and burned up in middle of the fairways. Conditions haven't changed much with new owners. Appears to be problems with the irrigation system throughout the course. All of the control boxes are opened up. Greens are in the best condition I seen in years. I'm a one time member who would the see some noticeable difference with the new ownership.
wonderful value
Putting aside the Golfnow service charges, I paid a total of $36 for 3 people to play 18 holes. Considering the good quality of the course, this is an absolutely astonishing deal. Beautiful new and an ancient trees, flowers, ponds, green fairways, nice greens, inexpensive driving range, etc., etc., etc. Best deal I have found in Western Michigan. Go play a few rounds and make sure this course doesn't go the way of so many others in the area, that being, turned into farmland. Staff is doing a great job with this course. Reward them. Wish we lived closer so my wife and me could play in leagues at this course.
Great value - course is improving
I had not played here in a couple of years because the course was not in good shape on my last visit. Today I was really surprised at how much better the course looked and played. The greens are in great shape and the fairways, while still somewhat firm, and much improved.
Carts are old and the range balls need an upgrade. Clubhouse is very nice with full service restaurant.
Looking forward to playing here again soon.
I recommend you give this course a try.
Fantastic course
Fantastic course with great staff. Condition was excellent and restaurant was top notch!
Getting better
The new owners are doing good things here. The course is getting better every year. Greens are much better and taking some key trees out is helping the fairways and layout
fun layout with elevation changes and some fairways that require more strategy than "bomb and gouge", greens were a bit fast but true, some tight lies and hardpan in fairways but this area is overdue for a good soaking rain, friendly staff, inexpensive beer, restaurant on site--- this is the first time id been there in 20 years and hadnt remembered much of it--- i wont hesitate to return!
Off the beaten path gem!
Played this course on a whim with my 13 year-old son and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Greens in great shape, well manicured fairways and roughs. Even the woods are relatively cleaned up so you can find errant shots. Clubhouse was clean and staff are friendly. Good selection of food and beverages. To cap it off, my son sank a 54 foot putt on Number 7!
Good bargain rounds
Course is dry and hard, which is difficult to believe after all the spring rain, greens not cleaned off. The layout is OK and the staff friendly, it is a good work on your game course at this price point. Enough challenge to let you use a variety of clubs. The carts are not in good working order either.
Avoid
Course conditions are very poor. lots of dirt, hard fairways with little grass. super hard greens. maintenance a real issue.
Corse much improved
Staff courteous and helpful our cart had a flat tire came right out and swapped carts
While the course is much improved from the last time I played the tee boxes need some work course is a tight layout but fair
Great price for 18 holes
Challenging course - loved it!
The staff was wonderful, very friendly and accommodating. We loved the course, the layout was challenging it allowed us to use clubs in our bag that we are not typically able to utilize. Looking forward to heading out there again before the end of the season. Kudo's to the bartender - our Bloody Mary was to die for!!
Good value
Course was in decent shape to play. Down side was we had slow groups ahead of us and they wouldn't let us play through
Enjoy this course
Challenging course with "old style" holes (small greens) and blind shots but very playable. The Golf Now rate was phenomenal.
Great Value
This course is a great value. The greens were in good shape and were receptive. I played from the blue tees and my kids from the red....good family course.
5 Stars Since New Management
This course should be rated higher as you will see if you read the comments. The only reason it isn't rated higher is that the ratings from before the management change bring it down. This should be adjusted by GolfNow or GolfAdvisor or whatever. The rating is deceptive considering the recent changes.
Greatly Improved
My wife and I play here frequently. I used to play when the past owners owned it and I quit going there because course conditions were terrible. The course now is in better shape. still needs improvement. I do not think they have a watering system and the fairways are quite hard. The greens are not bad. I book through Golf Now and there are some great deals. I would recommend this course .
B-
For the most part it was a pretty good day. Handful of holes were very dry and burnt up. Only other complaint would be that it seemed like there were workers sitting on every hole. I like that they are out doing their jobs but to me it seemed like they were always in the way. Had dinner in the clubhouse after round. It was fantastic. Fantastic food and service. Definitely going back for at least the dinning.
This is one of the best deals around at $10 for 18 holes with a cart online. The conditions aren't really that much different from the expensive places according to all the recent reviews and personal experience unless you caught them in the middle of a project.
