IMO best Livonia course

Good course, very fast greens. Very playable course, no real complaints. Out of the three Livonia courses this one is my favorite.

Unfriendly staff. They do not honor GolfNow reservation

Booked and prepaid an 18 hole round thru golfnow. When I went to check in, I was told that I can play 9 holes because they have leagues. The staff were not helpful and unfriendly and they basically told me it is not their problem and I can contact golfnow and get a refund. That was after a 45 min drive to get to the course. I will never play this course ever again,

Will Pair You

This is a very interesting course but if you don’t like being paired with other golfers this is not your playing turf. My brother and I were supposed to be paired with two other players but only one showed up and there was some order issues at the start of play due to tardiness on the group ahead, but after the first couple of holes the pace was fine. Many doglegs and fairly tight fairways lined with trees. Check your scorecard map due to hidden hazards on some holes. The greens were fast, especially downhill putts. Very fun course and seems to be booked and busy.

First Time Playing

Overall we had a good experience at the course. It had good assortment of hole lengths, not too challenging but a few holes that you needed to hit strategically. Our issue was on the back 9, ended up behind a group of 4 adults that were struggling. Each hole at least 1 if not 3 would tee off twice. Everyone has a rough day but they were not considerate to others & our group often waited with 2 other groups done with holes & just waiting. I wish one of the many course marshals that rode past would have said something to them.

Too many areas where the grounds people did not fix their own tire muddy tracks. They are more interested in their signs for ball marks then they are for fixing the course. The far side is all tore up with construction as well making it difficult to play the last three holes

Fall Golf in Michigan

Our annual trip to Whispering Willows was outstanding once again. Course is always in good shape, play is monitored and consistent and the Clubhouse Tin Cup Restaurant is beyond excellent.
Well Worth the trip to Livonia.
