Great Time

Whitney Farms staff was excellent. Being my first time on the course, I had some trouble navigating. The staff was extremely kind and patient in all my interactions. Will be back soon!

Watering hole

It was a hot day and totally disaapointed that the course had only 3 water stations with two on back nine. Hydration is imoportant on those sunny hot days and this course does not help tthat. They didnt even have a beverage cart

Too Slow

Avoid on Saturday. Left after 9. It took us about 2 hours and 45 minutes to get to the turn. Brutal.

Much improved, but still slow

It’s been a few years since I last played here. The hiatus was due to a stolen speaker from my cart, which soured me, especially to the staff who didn’t seem to care (I had turned the cart in and went back for the speaker and it was gone.

I wouldn’t miss the course since it was browned with bare patches, greens not great. And it was painfully slow. Like 6 hour round slow.

Fast forward a few years and the conditions are vastly improved. Full, green fairways. Greens in great shape. Good bev selection in the restaurant, bev service on the course. All in all, a pleasant day. They shaved off about an hour for a round, but that still leaves it at 5 hours on a Saturday. Waiting 5 minutes at least on every tee box. But the course conditions made it all tolerable.

Suprise..

Very nice course. Good layout with excellent condition. Only negative comment I can make is some of the tee boxes were too close to the green where an off shot can be landed on the tee box directly (especially hole 17). Other then that, very enjoyable course.

Good test of golf

A good but fair challenge. Players need to be accurate and keep the ball in play. Greens are moderately fast, but mostly flat. Limited number of sand traps. Nice bar and grill offered a tasty lunch. Very clean through out, including the restroom facilities. We definitely will return.

Hidden jem

I play this track a few times a year... it's in great shape compared to the nearby course. Greens are tough but in great shape. Fairways better than most.
