It was our first time playing this course and unfortunately it was on a day where they had several different outings going on. The pace of play on the front nine was brutally slow as groups of 6-12 golfers were playing together on the same holes. There was no martial on the course to monitor this activity but there was a kid running more drinks to the golfers from the club house. It was an absolute circus.

As for the course, it’s in a beautiful area by Paw Paw Lake and surrounded by nicely wooded landscapes and some beautiful homes with two greens actually near the lake. But the layout is nothing like we’ve ever seen with the first two holes as par threes. This probably causes pace of play issues right from the start on any given day. The tee boxes are in horrible shape and the greens are completely marred with unrepaired ball marks which is a sign of the level of golfers that play this course. The par threes all seem to play almost 200 yards and most of the par fours are less than 300 yards. There are 3 holes in the middle of the course that are actually nice. One par 4 which plays 400 yards and a couple of Par 5s at 500+ yards.

All in all a really awkward design and disappointing experience. No matter the cost, there are better golf courses to play nearby. We won’t be back.

Whittaker Woods is a beautiful and challenging course that is a fair value even at full price. Playing it with the GolfNow discount made it an unbelievable value!

The course is very well maintained and really beautiful throughout all 18 holes. Whittaker Woods challenges you to think your way around the course with shot selection, club selection and the need to carefully read the greens. The clubhouse and facilities were all top notch.

I look forward to going back soon and often.
