Early Spring atWhisper Creek

Whisper Creek has always been a favorite of mine snd for my 1st round in early spring I thought it was of good value. Bunker have been less than good in condition the last couple of years and it looks like they may be doing working on that.

First Time Playing

Pace of play, high school team

The course was nice, fairly good condition. The one complaint is a 2some starting at 530pm with a cart playing 9 should be able to finish before 815pm. The last 3 holes couldn't be played due to a high school team on the course and not being able to play through. Paying customers should have been able to play through or have had an option to play another 9 instead of playing 6 and having the quit from it being too dark.

Bunkers are a joke

Overall this is a nice layout, fun to play but the bunkers especially the fairway bunkers virtually unplayable. The staff very friendly.

Not worth the $$$$$

No $70+ golf course should have “sand traps” that are 50% dirt / 50% grass & 0% SAND. The tee boxes were chewed up. It was trash. Never again.

Hope for the best

Whisper creek has always been a favorite.. a bit disappointing.. the course was not up to the detailed maintenance standards that have always had.
The course has been mismanaged from a agricultural view. Course was burned out.
Tee boxes beat up and dried out. Bunkers unplayable and unkempt.
You cannot help but enjoy the layout but to have these very disappointing conditions are either mismanaged or no budget.
If its a budget thing they shouldn't be charging premium rates for sub par conditions.
Before you think its sour grapes by me... im a retired golf course superintendent of 30 years so I have a little insight on what the cultural practices are to keep a 4 star course playable.
I wish them luck... hope the recognize their short comings and are able to rectify what needs to be looked at.

This course used to be so nice. What happened?

There is a very serious fungal problem going on at this course. Most tee boxes are in terrible do to the diseased Turf.

It appears to be in the fairways and greens as well. Luckily the greens rolled well so I stopped short of a 1 star review.

Save your money. It's not worth $70 in it's current condition.

Windy weather
Used cart

Conditions fair to poor

The traps are a joke with many of them having grass growing in them. Severe lack of sand. Finding a distace marker on the tee was non-existant and in the fairway very hard.

Amazing course, greens were in great shape, bunkers well raked, tee boxes were level and the rough was rough (as it should be).
