This course features narrow fairways lined by trees and a medium cut of rough. The terrain is somewhat hilly, and a number of small ponds come into play on a few holes. One of the most popular holes is #10, a 235-yard, par 3, requiring a downhill tee shot over a giant bed of cattails to an ample green.

It's alright. Nothing more, nothing less, Nov 08, 2005 |
| reviewer: Lawrence "Red" Gangea

| In all honesty, I feel the other reviews may be overselling Whitney. Yes, the views are nice, but do you really play golf for the views? How about some challenges? There is some of that on 2 or 3 holes that have elevation changes or blind shots, but not enough to stand out. The upgrades looked promising (it's been stop and start for 5 years), but have never come through. Yes, Lake Whitney Golf Club is a goat ranch, but it has charm. It's wide open in most places, so it's nothing compared to its neighbor, White Bluff (i.e.: real grass, sand in the bunkers instead of hardpan dirt, more than two water hazards, sprinkler system, etc.), but it is fun to play, though losing your ball in the rock field on the course's back half is always possible. The bonus is that it's in the middle of nowhere, so you can be sure you will not be bothered, or have someone complain you are playing too slow. Just remember, this is no country club, and I don't think I'd want it any other way. Check it out if you find yourself around the lake with nothing else to do, or the $75 and up it takes for the White Bluff resort down the street. |

Not too shabby, Jun 02, 2005 |
| reviewer: D. Weede

| Many changes have been made over the last five years to improve the course. Landscaping and good general upkeep turned what was a goat ranch into a playable gem. While there are still many rough spots, such as the rock quarry on the back nine that should have been covered or filled with water by now, the course shows promise of good things to come in the future. The course layout makes up for the larger flaws. Beautiful Hill Country scenery adds to the enjoyment of playing, and being so far removed from the larger cities, I have never found the course anywhere near crowded. I play Whitney 3-5 times a year while on business trips through the area, and can honestly recommend it to others. At $20.00 to $25.00 cart and green fee (compared to Whitebluff at $75.00 just down the road), it's a great deal. |

Relaxing, Jul 15, 2004 |
| reviewer: Richard Mayjuana

| Relaxing is the best word I can use for this course. Within shouting distance of Lake Whitney, the view from some tees remind you of playing on a rolling hill country course in the Austin area. Most important is the pace is slow on most days. Rarely have I seen the course crowded to the point you feel rushed, or find yourself waiting on others to finish. Many improvements have also been made to the course over the past few years that increase the enjoyment of play. New ground keeping has improved the look and feel of the course to more of a country club atmosphere, and less of a municipal course, while still keeping its muni-charm. Finally, it is a great value for the price. $40.00 (+/-) for fees and a cart... How can you go wrong? |
