The staff is great and the course was not bad for the price.
Lovely course
For the $45 hot deal I am not disappointed. Max, the pro was very friendly and helpful. Great layout, decent greens, only issue they look to be resolving is the quality of the bunkers. Will play again.
Great course next to the skiing facility
Really enjoyed this course! It’s tough with narrow fairways but a beautiful setting.
Not well-maintained
Course was not well maintained and sand traps unplayable, could be OK course, but doesn’t look like any money is put into it
Save Your Money
Overall the course was in terrible condition, save your money. The layout was challenging but there wasn’t one bunker without grass (saw them all) growing and weeds everywhere. Not worth the $95. However, the employee in the pro shop was friendly.
Stick with your local muni
I played here about 4 years ago and I thoroughly enjoyed the course. The layout was nice and the course was in good shape. Four years later and the course conditions of the course make my local muni look like Augusts National. The bunkers were terrible, the tee boxes had very little grass and the greens need some work. I paid $79 plus tax to play and I would much rather play my local muni twice for the same price. Until the course gets some TLC I would avoid playing this course, especially at the prices they are charging. They should lower the greens fees until repairs are made but I doubt they will
DO BETTER, WISP MANAGEMENT! WHAT A SHAME!
I have played this course every year for the past three. Every year I come the conditions get worse but the price magically goes up.
Wisp resort management needs to get their act together and ensure both this and Lodestone are maintained so that the good people who work there don’t end up losing their jobs.
It is so sad to watch these course being let go. If you can’t do it, give it to someone who can.
Good:
Lay out is fun, challenging but a good time.
People that work here are friendly and nice as the rest of this town.
Bad:
Let me start with the worst issue in both these courses. The greens have a very common fungus found on bentgrass greens. There are thousands of 1-2” round dead spots on every green. Which makes putting impossible. This just needs fungicide. COMEON!!
Bunkers have no sand, not a grain of sand.
Rough is longer than the US open. 5-6” just off the fairways.
Geese and their poop everywhere that it is borderline unhealthy.
No beverage cart nor water stations anywhere even though its 90+ outside
Look, golf is a game where most folks want to get out and relax and have fun. Have a beer, have a cigar, and play in conditions that are at least okay. If the greens roll fine even with a few humps here snd there most people are happy. But when your greens are like a surface of the moon with mini craters everywhere it is reprehensible that you’ll charge people exorbitant prices and expect them to come back. DO BETTER COS IT IS A SHAME AND A SHAM!
Fantasy Valley in rough shape
Last tead I paid $65 for a weekday round. This year $84 . Why? Greens are very patchy and bumpy with many brown spots. Bunkers have very little sand but lots of rocks and weeds. And there is no practice range.
Disappointed
Played this course in the past. Loved it. Has really gone down hill.
No pro shop, wasn’t marked (a yurt)
Fairways and greens in good shape.
Geese everywhere- a problem
All of the amenities they had in the past are gone.
We played twilight at a reduced rate but would have been disgusted if we played full price.
Too many geese
Love the course and layout. Goose poop everywhere, especially on many of the greens. Everywhere we walked (except for a few holes) we had goose poop on our shoes. Complained to the pro shop and was told there was nothing they could do about it. Maryland forbid killing the buggers. There must be a way to rid the course of them. As much as I love the course, I doubt I'll be back any time soon, not until they have a way to control the geese.
A bit expensive, playable but bunkers are in terrible shape.
The course is playable if not a bit expensive. The looks of the course are brought down significantly because it looks like they have gtotally given up on maintaining the bunkers. I would recommend this course but only at a lower price point and if they fix the bunkers.
Great design, poor maintenance
I wouldn’t pay that much to play this course again. The course had potential but was not maintained well. Some kind of fungus on the greens made putting a joke. WAAAAAYYYYYY over priced for the course conditions. I wouldn’t play it again unless they hired more people to take care of this course. Hale Irwin would be disappointed .
Terrible
This golf course is garbage! And they charges a ridiculous amount to play. I was blown away. Some type of fungal disease on the greens. Poor maintenance. It was garbage. I’ll never play there again
Great except the sand traps
Enjoyed the course a lot. Did not have to wait at all as a two-some. The sand traps are in poor shape, but the rest of the course is in great condition.
Never Again
This was our first time playing this course and will definitely be the last.
First, the good:
-We were a twosome, and the pro shop manager asked the two foursomes in front of us to start the day if we could go first, and they graciously obliged.
-There are a few holes on the back 9 that have great design, and were marginally kept.
-That's pretty much it.
The bad:
-The first 5 holes were borderline unplayable - tall grass within 4-5 feet of each fairway, all extremely narrow.
-After 6, it opens up some, and the back 9 is more playable, but still in rough shape. Majority of the course was just awful.
-You could tell this course may have been decent 10-15 years ago, but it's been completely let go.
-There wasn't a trace of sand in the bunkers, nothing but rocks.
-Most greens had weeds and bare spots.
I wouldn't have been upset had I paid $20 to play, but $80+? What a ripoff. We have no interest playing this course again.
Poor Course Conditions and Highly Overpriced
The course was in poor condition and surely not worth the $90 they charged. I wouldn't pay $25 for a course in the condition it was in. Looks like they are hardly taking care of it and its tough to figure out what is fairway and rough. The bunkers haven't been touched in years and we considered them ground under repair. Stay away.
