Nice layout wasted

I like the layout, staff always great and the pace of play is usually good. Sand traps are some of the worst in the Chicago area, no sand in many, weeds/grass growing in some, mud/dirt, etc. Fairways seem to have several diff grasses at various heights growing in them. Greens are usually ok shape and challenging. We only go there when we can’t get on places in the area we like better.

First Time Playing

Nice layout

Long walk but good layiout and very friendly staff. Lots of elevated greens and pretty forgiving, even for seeing the course for the first time.

Disappointed

I believe they booked to many
They should’ve made it 15 minutes intervals
Cart path only was tough
They should’ve allowed 90 degree cross over the conditions were fine for that
We didn’t finish last 4 holes
The wait was awful

Course operator here. Thanks for playing Whisper Creek, first and foremost, on an unseasonably nice day in December. The course was very soft as a whole, which is why we couldn't allow the 90-degree rule, and may have contributed to longer waits. In the future please send us a note directly at info@whispercreekgolf.com, as you're encountering issues, and do reach out if you'd like to discuss further, as well.

Nice course slow play

Whisper Creek is always in good shape it have nice greens Well taken care of tee boxes and a great layout. My only issue with this course is the slow play. I can’t stand when people play from tees too far for there handicap it really slows the pace of play.
The white Tees are almost 6,200 so plenty far for myself and most people over 50, but to many people were on the green tees and over 6,600yrds so most of the older guy trying to play from here using driver 3 wood and still not making the green on Par 4’s so slow to watch and wait
I will only come here in off peak time due to very slow play

Disappointed!

I've played this course many times in the past, but on this day, the course was in the worst shape I've ever seen it. Tee boxes were all torn up, and divots were unfilled. It looked like they just held a scramble and didn't repair or move tee boxes. The fairways and greens were in reasonable shape, but there were way too many unrepaired ball marks on the greens.

The bunkers were horrendous. The ones that had sand in them also had knee to waist-high weeds. Several bunkers had no sand in them and were marked ground under repair.

In short, I will not be returning to this course this season.
