For this time of the year in the North East, the course was in great shape. The greens were good, and fairways, tees, and the rough were still very playable. A little wet is some areas, but that’s expected in December 😊. It’s an exceptional value, especially booking through Tee Off. Keep those discounts coming 👍

Beautiful challenging course

This is a beautiful challenging course. Long distances and as a woman,at many tee box I was grouped with the men’s and seniors. We had a major issue, the group of players ahead of us didn’t know what they were doing, all over the place, replaying multiple time their balls. 86 min for 3 holes! I ended up calling the ranger. He came and after that it went better but weren’t able to finish because of that :(

Challenging course

I find that Whitney Farm golf is challenging every time I play and it’s greens not easy at all, that’s what make it interesting.

Perfect fall golf today. Greens rolled well and the fairways are nice and green again. Not many leaves on the course yet. Traps were a little hardpacked due to recent rain. I found them often today. Love playing Whitney Farms and definitely will be back soon.

Great Golf Course - Needs a Ranger

Enjoyed this course and will go back. Course was moderately challenging and in great shape. Staff was kind and receptive. However, the only issue I had was pace of play. Having balls hit into us, when we were being held up by others, does not lead to a pleasant game of golf. And just when we had some breathing room, out of no where a two -some jumped in on the 10th and killed the pace yet again, leading to us barely finish by sunset. A ranger would add value to the pace of play at this course.

Front 9 closed

The front 9 was not open for play and I do not like the back 9 I did not play the back 9 a second time and left after 9. I wish this was posted online when I booked it. I would have passed.
