Whitestone Golf Course

Love the layout .

I've played Whitestone for many years since it was built .We played 5-14 and we were flabbergasted at the horrible condition of this once awesome course . The fairways had very little if any grass for except for Hole #1 . The greens were a shock to see . They were all absent of a green putting surface except the 17th . They were mostly JUST DIRT !!!! They were blaming the Feb freeze . No way !!!!! Most of the courses right now have nice greens and decent fairways !! The problem is with the Course maintenance manager . Sad to see this course in such bad shape !!!!!

We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We understand your frustration with the current conditions from the winter freeze. Please bear with us as we work diligently to make improvements, most all courses in Texas are dealing with some form of damage from the winter. We hope it should be sooner than that and you'll give us another try in the near future. Thanks for choosing Whitestone Golf Club.

This course was an old time favorite

First thing is they raised the price of their green fees. Ok whatever , BUT , the tee boxes were trashed , then the fairways were hard pan with not a hint of growing grass and not one decent lie on any of the fairways ! The greens were totally horrible . Sparce , bumpy, and borderline unplayable , and for all this we paid $40 each . Such a disappointment since most of the other courses around are in good condition. The condition of this course completely ruined our weekly outing with the golf buddies ! We will never return until maybe the course manager has a clue what fertilizer is used for !!!

The course is an old favorite .

Tee boxes were horrible and the sand traps were almost as bad. For last of April, the fairways should be plush and soft , but this is a cIty muni , so they arent going to fertilize , so you get what you pay for. Be prepared to roll the ball around in the fairways for a decent lie . The greens were hippity hoppity , not very good but like i said you get what you pay for . The green fees should be no more than $25-30 tops .

Ironhorse is a really fun course and not so difficult so everyone can have a good time

Course is coming around really good now that Spring is here. Some areas around the greens are thin making chipping tough. But the fairways are deep green and getting really nice to hit from . Greens are fast but roll extremely well. A nice course for everyone . Not too hard and you can use Irons off lots of tees. The staff is awesome .

This course has horrible greens

I have never played on greens that were in such bad shape when all of the area courses greens are really good . The only excuse i can think of is they are closing it soon to renovate the entire course , and they don't really care what the golfer think when they play there !! They should just go ahead and close if this is all they can bring to the table . Save your $$ and play elsewhere till they have a clue how to grow at least decent greens !!

A great golf course . Fun layout !

If more golfers knew about this awesome course , it would be packed everyday !!! The fairways are like carpet . The greens are super soft so you can go right at the sticks . Somewhat slick on the downhillers . Hitting the fairways ARE A MUST and there are a lot of tree lined fairways and several overhanging limbs making placement a must !! Every hole is a blast to play . The Club Pro is absolutely the friendliest and will let you know he appreciates you being there !!! A MUST GOLF COURSE TO PLAY !!! You will be totally impressed !!

Nice , smallish course that you wanna play a quick game , easy to do !

Played 4-19-15 after the previous night storms , course drained well . Lots of fun holes , some challenging shots will come your way , but not unfair . The greens are ok and are really small , demanding lots of high drop and spin shots to stay on the greens. You have to be precise hitting them to stay on !! This course could really be nice one if they can thicken up the fairways . There are lots of holes for you to use irons off the tee especially on the tree lined fairways for accuracy1 Go play this course and you will like it more each time you play it ! It would be a shame if they don't keep this nice little course in good shape !!

A really fun course to play anytime

We were a 2 some 2-19 and we never had to wait at any hole. The course is in good shape even in mid Feb. . The 2nd hole is a Bear . Par here is a great score . Not too difficult of a course. This course is always a favorite go to. A great day of golf would be , play Hills in the a.m., River after lunch . They really keep this course well manicured . The pro shop guys are super nice and cordial .

A treat to play , as always !

Course was in really good shape . The driving range is a good one . The new greens were some of the best you'll ever play , but really speedie ! The bunkers were perfect ! Lots of 400+ yard par 4s from the Blues . Great place to bring a client or a special day of golf for whoever ! It's a fair course but tough and demands decent shot making !!! Really a beautiful course !!

This course is much improved

The course was in really decent shape . We waited till this Fall because this course has a tendency to really bake in the mid Summer ! We 3 played for $14 per and that's too good to pass up at Whitestone The greens were GREAT but really fast ! The bunkers were baked brown dirt with some rocks mixed in so we had to rake and place ! This course would be beautiful with white sand !! Some fairways were somewhat thin and hard pan with 100 yard shots especially at Hole 7 which made wedge shots impossible . Bladed several crucial shots because of that but seems that was the worst ! In all , a really fun course .that I would say to my buddies GO Play it !! FIX THE BUNKERS !!

This course is awesome

If you golfers want to play a top of the list golf course in the Metroplex , don't wait , play it now . I have played several Country Clubs in the DFW area that aren't as nice as this little gem ! The fairways are a golfers dream to hit off of . Trimmed and mowed to perfection and the rough was even nice to hit from . The greens were ok but not as nice as they could be . If they were , it would be hard getting a tee time here !!! An absolute must play golf course !!!!!!!!

The staff at the check in desk was very professional .

The date 7-29-14 was our booked round for 4 by Golfnow . Upon our arrival , to our disappointment , we learned that only 9 holes would be opened ! We were expecting the worst when to our surprise , Ira was extremely polite and gave us a choice of playing or a full refund ! That professionalism will bring us back many more times ! Thanks Ira !!!

Ira saves the day! Mr. Hagen, thank you for your review and mentioning Ira. He is one of the reasons I love working at Southern Oaks, so kind.
Sorry about the mix-up and we hope you'll come back to Southern Oaks in the near future

really fun layout

The staff was extremely cordial . Was surprised at how personable the gentleman was at the check-in ! The course was in good shape but the tees were really hard packed ! The greens were nice and puttable , even after recent punching . The fairways really need to be fertilized and watered to soften and thicken them up . Had to move the ball around in the fairways to find some thicker lie but that wasn't a problem . This course is quickly becoming one of my golf groups favorite to play ! Got a $15 green fee from GolfNow which is a steal for this course . Great day of golf fun here !!!

Fun golf course layout but tough !!

The course is a fun course but the main problem is the people at the pay counter . I have been to Riverside twice this year and was very surprised to see the rotten attitude of the people taking my $$ . My 4some was shocked at the rudeness of the very people we were helping to make a living . not a fun way to start a much anticipated day of playing golf with the guys !!!
