Beautiful course with outstanding mountain views! The fairways are challenging and lined with plenty of trees, so bring a few extra golf balls. The course was in great shape, the staff was friendly, and the pace of play was excellent. A fun, scenic round that's well worth playing. We'll definitely be back!
Went on a Wednesday in January, set up the tee time over the phone and all went very smooth, you don’t have to put a card down to reserve. The people were really friendly, and it was overall pretty laid back. There was a frost delay so no problem we started about an hour late. The course itself was all cart path only the day we went, but several parts had loads of mud during play. There are lots of water hazards and 2 drives go over the water. No rush on play time.
First time for me here at Whitepath. The nicest people checked me in and showed me around. Terrific range with real grass tees in summer. The course was like so many great mountain courses, challenging yet fair and very enjoyable to play. Some tricky tee shots that really make you think and add to the enjoyment. Excellent condition all around and just a great place to play. Thank you!
I would not recommend this course to absolutely anybody. Me and a few friends booked two different tee times and spoke to the staff about having two different groups and we showed up absolutely expecting to have a fantastic day of golfing and fun, however when we went to the first tee we were singled out by a rude employee who watched everybody tee off and consistently complained about our group playing together even after we explained that we were playing as two separate groups. During the first 6 holes, we wiped off that experience and had a fun few holes, but then all the fun faded and was crushed when we were met by the course marshal who drove to our hole to complain yet again when we were doing absolutely nothing wrong. The staff followed us and watched us the entire day and made us feel very targeted which made the day feel miserable. On the course side, it was absolutely not worth $70 there is nothing special at all about this course and it feels like it’s should be priced far lower than it is to play 18. Please do not come here if you can, the single worst golf course staff experience I have ever had in my life….
Nice course. Well maintained. Friendly staff. Hilly and interesting layout.
