Disappointed

I have been coming to Whitestone on and off for the past few years and this is sadly the worst I have seen the conditions here.

Nearly all of the teeboxes are fine and the greens were in generally great shape as usual but everything in between the tee and green was not up to par with what I’ve grown to love about this course. The fairways and rough had a significant number of areas with no grass and in some cases areas where the grass had been dug up and sectioned off with construction tarp as I’m guessing they are replacing that areas grass. In some spots in the fairway and just off the lies we’re unplayable and it was 20-30 feet to the nearest point where conditions were okay.

The bunkers were atrocious and nearly unplayable, lots of washout and inconsistent amounts of dirt at the bottom.

This is not how the course has played over the past few years and it seems that there was some trouble coming out of winter but at this point in the season I expected much better. Disappointing for a $60 round.

Tough course for high hanicap

The course is beautiful and maintained immaculate. Lots of bunkers and wind the day we played. The greens are all super fast but the scenery is wonderful.

Poor course management

The course is money hungry with very poor course conditions. They stacked 8 min tee times all day to grab money instead of caring about pace of play or golfer experience. There were several holes that took over 30 minutes to play. Several of which had 5 groups on one hole. 1 on the green. 1 in the fairway. 3 groups waiting at the tee to hit. Unbelievably horrid course management. Multiple holes were under construction with black tapping blocking off fairways. Yes. The middle of the fairway. With zero warning that it was going on. Rounds like that should honestly cost around $10 because you get zero value out of your round. The course didn’t look look like it had been watered in 6 months either. Fairways were basically rough. Not cut or groomed at all. Just terrible experience all around. The course used to be gorgeous and one of the best around. Now it’s basically a weekend duffer 30+ handicap golfer on course where good golfers suffer

Slowwwwww

Took over 5.5 hours to play. Tee time at 1126 was pushed back 1/2 hour and it didn’t get any better. Need more marshalls on course to prevent that. Only reason everything isn’t 5 stars is bc of this. I didn’t pay what I paid to play a 5.5 hour round

Way…….too……slow

11:26 tee time, went off around 1155. 2:55 to play front nine, finished around 5:20. Didn’t see a Marshall until 14th tee. He gave a lame excuse that a “big group went off this morning and took 5.5 hours instead of 4-4.5 hours, & it slowed down the whole day”…so where the F was he in the morning to speed them along?Course was in great shape compared to others I played , and I will definitely go back. They include range balls & a cleaning towel & tees with your green fee, which is great. Just get better at keeping people moving so we aren’t at the course for 6-7 hours

The problems continue...

After a 40 minute drive to the course, we arrived at 2:20 p.m. to find a full parking lot and golf bags waiting everywhere. Went to check in for our 3:18 tee time and was told that we were delayed by an hour due to a tournament that had gone off that morning and was ALLOWED to take 6 hours to finish. We tried to call other nearby courses to see if we could get on somewhere else, but no luck.... So we waited. Finally, at around 4:35 p.m., we got carts and were able to start our round. Things were going well until we made it to hole 7 and found 4 foursomes waiting at the tee box - another delay. This one took 30 minutes to clear up... As we waited, we looked over to the 9th green and saw a group of 9 on the green - literally running and screaming around the green.... we had found the cause of our 30 minute wait at 7.... Long story short, we did not get to finish our round.

The greenskeepers at Whitestone are not the problem. Coming out of winter, the course looked very cleaned up. The fairways and bunkers still need some love, but the greens were rolling fast. Conditions are up to par.

What plagues Whitestone is the way it is being run (or lack thereof). Every tee time we've booked at Whitestone has had some kind of problem. From delays, to no carts, to no range balls, pace of play issues - you name it, we've experienced it here every time.

It's a shame that a course with so much potential has these type of problems. For now, we will be removing this course from our regular play rotation list. Hopefully the issues get resolved and we can add it back in the future.

Golf carts and pace of play

They somehow lost keys to the golf carts. Our tee time was pushed back 45 min while we waited on a cart. Following that, the holes were so packed it took us and the group ahead 6 hours to finish the round.

Waste..cow pasture with lots of cows

First off, I should have known the pace of play was going to be a nightmare when there was 4 groups deep stacked up on the first hole. Finally teed off 20 minutes behind schedule to just sit around hole after hole wasting away a Saturday. After 3.5 hours we finally finished the 9th hole. We had an enough and decided to leave.

Course conditions- greens were fast, best part of the course. The fairways and tee boxes were hard packed dirt.. where is the grass? The layout was less than par with nothing too challenging.

With that said, I would never go back. Spend your money on a course that values the product they are selling and the pace of play. Whitestone clearly does not.

Superfast greens

Played this course many times throughout many years. The new ownership has done a lot of good maintenance and improvements. On this particular visit everything was very good except the starter was rude. The inside staff was great.

Excellent Course!

I had known of this course for the past year and finally was able to play a round and it did not disappoint! Even with a 90° rule and bunkers being out of play due to the recent weather it was still a wonderful course to play and I will definitely be returning in the near future!

Pretty rough

Fairways are pretty bad, I realize we under winter conditions but lots of bare dirt. Bunkers have no sand just packed dirt. Greens not bad, running fairly fast.

Great course/Need Marshall to keep pace of play

Followed young college kids playing a 6-some. At least four group passed them of the course becuase there were as many as four groups on the same hole. When we passed them they proceeded to hit shots passed us when we were in the fairway.
