Great short course

Course is short but greens were in great condition. Little slow but full of grass and rolled true. Lots of slanting fairways so need to know which side to aim for
Gets a bit congested when too many people are out.

Home away from home.

It pains me to write this but something has to be said….I love golf and I love this course. Always have. All my friends play here, and it’s almost always a fun time unless Dave is working. He was extremely rude to me and my friends tonight and this is not the first(or even second) time this has happened. The unnecessary drama and confrontation that he always seems bring to the clubhouse and course has become a nuisance to what is supposed to be a fun time. Playing golf at Whittles when he is working is a hassle instead of a good time. I’m one of the best customers there(I play here almost everyday) and should not be treated the way I’m treated when he is working. Everyone else is great, except for him. His bad attitude is completely uncalled for.

Half the course was closed

Golf now always let you know if greens were aerated or part of course closed. Now buyer beware.

Great Course, Fun Round

Steve and the rest of the staff at the clubhouse were awesome. Only my 2nd or 3rd time golfing here and I hadn't remembered the greens being in such good shape. They were perfect. I was by myself so I paired up with another golfer and made a new friend so that was a bonus. I'll be back more this year for sure.
