The Woodlands Course at Whittaker
Played On 08/28/2019Great Course! Inconsistent Experience!
I took a a trip to New Buffalo for a long weekend, and I played this course twice on consecutive non-weekend days.
The course is an excellent challenge, and the course conditions reflect t he price.
I recommend this course to anyone visiting; however, our experience with the staff was inconsistent. It wasn’t bad; it just was different.
On first arrival, we were greeted upon entering the parking lot and our bags were loaded into a cart, and we were driven to the clubhouse. After paying, our GPS equipped cart was waiting with our recently cleaned clubs. On the first day, we arrived 20 minutes before tee time and elected not to use the driving range.
The second day was different. We arrived about 45 minutes early. No greeter. In the clubhouse, we were assigned a key with a specific cart number. I purchased a bucket of range balls and inquired to the location of the range. “Across the road you came in on.”
Walked to cart assigned. No GPS. Drove to car and loaded clubs. Spent 10 minutes driving up and down a 55 mph speed limit highway looking for the range. After pulling into two driveways and turning around twice, we found the range. It was a decent range, in good condition, and had a very nice short game area.
It’s a good course, and you should play it if in New Buffalo. If your experience is like my first day, you’ll be impressed by staff and the course. If it’s like my second day, you’ll still be impressed by the course.
