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.
Good course but expensive for this time of the year.
Started out cold (45 degrees) but warmed up on the back nine (60 degrees). Lots of leaves and lost a few balls in areas where you SHOULD NOT lose your ball. Overall good course but golf carts are GPS enabled/ MICROMANAGED and seem to warn or stop you in odd areas of the course. Only play here a few times of the year because of the price and golf carts nagging you for the slightest driving mistake.
Greens keeper
Stop being in such a bad mood picking hole locations. They don't HAVE to be on a bubble or ridge every hole. And put some water on those greens!
GPS carts are very difficult
Course is ok but too much for the weather and course conditions. GPS carts are very difficult to understand where you can and CAN'T go on the course. Only play here a few times a year because of the way the GPS GOLF CARTS are managed by the course.
Golf at Whispering Willows
The course was in relatively good shape. lots of thin or dead areas outside the fairways. But that is to be expected this time of year. Overall, it was fun to play this course again.
Thank you for leaving us a review. We are sorry to hear your experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you will give us another try in the future. Thank you for choosing Whispering Willows.
I understand it’s public
First off, I understand this course is public. That being said, the rangers were not helpful. It was a 5+ hour round of 18 holes. Pace of play was terrible and rangers did absolutely nothing to move people along. Course was clearly over booked. I was looking forward to playing this course again but will likely never return. Preferably would’ve loved to walk off and get my money back but it was a golf now purchase so I figured that was unlikely so we suffered through.
Hello. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
Weekday Golf
Whispering Willows is a very nice course that gets a lot of play. The course layout is fair for the average golfer, but your pace of play might be a little slower than what you are use to. Would definitely recommend this course as a choice and the food in the clubhouse after is excellent.
First time to play, will make it a regular course for future plays!
Staff n course joined together for a golf experience worth doing it agan!
Great round!!
This was my first time playing this course, this year. Had a great round and the course was in great shape!
Tee boxes need a lot of work!! Need to be rebuilt and triple seeded over the winter to get better

Poor condition
They have signs everywhere telling golfers what to do,instead they should be spending their money on fixing the course. Many bare spots, dirt holes and just poor ground maintenance. Carts are also so controlled you can barely get off the cart path. There are many other courses in better shape, and less controlling.
