Bit expensive

It’s an ok course but I find it on the expensive side for a 9 hole course. Would still play again as its local to me

Still value fir money

Regular visitor to this 9 hole, 16 tees course.
Desperately in need a good soaking.
Fast running course with very little defence against straight tee or fairway shots. Stray however and your ball will run thro the first cut of rough and into trouble.
The greens however are standing up to the recent dry spell, well paced and consistent. Bunkers do vary in sand depth and lie... ( USE THE F-ING RAKES)
Very well priced and still a challenge for mid/high handicappers.

Great apart from nearly getting hit by 2 golf balls on the 2nd by a couple of eager ones who couldn’t wait to be waved through and fancied playing the same hole at the same time

Delayed, but rough but OK

Little frustrating to have to start late and mid course because of a late running comp but the staff was helpful. The course is tricky and boggy in places due to amount of rain (not allot can be done about this I know).

Slow

Only 1 and a group of 3 on the course and I still had to wait at tee box to tee off could of let me through at least 3 times only reason they did is because I was hitting the ball when they was still on green to get them moving took me over 2 hours for 9 holes and only 30 minutes after I got in front ball easy to lose even on fairways

Whitwood 9 holes

Lovely course, haven’t played for a while here and it is much better than that time, where it was still good. Fairways and greens immaculate, soil boxes at par 3 tees “nice touch”.
