Improved
Whittle Springs fairways and greens have improved! Much greener! Also nice pace of play today. We had an excellent round! Love it 🧡
Reasonable cost
All is good only need to repair green little bit more.
Cheap golf
By definition only, this is golf.
Unfortunately, it’s hard hat golf. If you can play here for less than 20 bucks, sure. Have at it. The course isn’t large enough for 18 holes. Because of this the layout sucks. It’s obvious they simply didn’t have enough room. The greens are “eh” and there’s no difference between the rough and the fairway.
Improving every day
Alot of work to do but rusty and his staff are making the course better daily. Although the Knoxville city championship getting set back hurts because I was holding off my move to retire in Maui if I can make it back to play this years championship I will. Thank you Rusty and all of whittles family
Adequate municipal course
Fun course to play. Needed water in the coolers. Good bathrooms. Will be back.
Incredibly dry, dead and hard.
Played this course on Memorial Day, which was a great price for a holiday round. However i quickly I became quite frustrated by the conditions of the course as it effected play quite a bit. The majority of the fairways and rough were completely dead and dry with barely any grass to hit off of no matter where you landed. Because of the dry/dead conditions I the ball runs forever. A decent shot could end up terribly because it could run out an extra 50-150 yds without any idea of when it will stop. This same thing applied to the greens which were rock hard with almost no grass, it was like putting in a parking lot. This also made it incredibly difficult to hit onto the greens as well as even the best shots managed to roll off every time. I would not even recommend this course for beginner as the conditions will lead to more frustration than ease of play. Also, being that I played on a holiday I expected there to be some delays but while the first couple holes we were moving along fine we quickly found ourselves backed up with multiple groups waiting on tee boxes due to a group of 5-6 high school aged looking kids all playing together on the same hole. This would be fine if they were skilled enough to maintain play but this was the complete opposite as they appeared to be out there joking around. Eventually this frustration resulted in us leaving after the 10th hole and did not get to finish the round. Avoid this course unless it is the only option.
How improvements should look
I’ve played here for years now and it is head and shoulders above how it was previously. Greens are good tee boxes solid and the fairways are great. Only downside is that nobody fixes their divots on the greens but the staff can’t control that. 7.5/10 overall 9/10 for the price.
Greens looked almost dead
Not sure what happened but the greens had little to no grass on them. A lot of the rough has died as well. Hopefully Whittles can make a comeback now that it’s warm.
Thanks for your review. We have champion bermuda greens and they are just now coming out of dormancy due to the cooler spring temperatures. We have seen a lot of improvement in the last few weeks and we expect excellent course conditions again this summer and beyond.
Great value
The course layout is really tight.
They had just sanded the greens (maintenance is always happening) and some of the forward (red) tee boxes were mostly dirt.
This course is better than several of the courses we played last winter in North Central Florida.
We will definitely play here again.
This place sucks
The way the course way layed out is terrible the greens are in poor condition
We apologize for your poor experience. Unfortunately bermuda grass courses in our area are a little late coming out of dormancy this year due cooler spring temperatures. We are just now starting to see very good growth and conditions will only improve in the coming weeks. Memorial Day is always a busy day for us but we try and maintain a strong pace of play. We do not allow any groups of more than four but we do get backed up especially on the back nine due to multiple reachable par 5's and a couple short par 4's. Please contact us if you ever have any pace of play issues. Thank you for your review.
