Wisp Resort course

Disappointed with this course, fairways were in bad shape. Greens were fine. Beautiful views of the surrounding areas.

Fairways were disastrous

Very disappointed with this course, was looking forward to playing it. The views were spectacular, but the whole course was in rough shape. Greens were fine.

Horrible course save your money.!!

Haven’t played this course in awhile so I thought I’d play it to see how it was. Boy has this course gone down hill maintenance wise. Weeds growing out of the bunkers, burn spots everywhere, goose crap all over the course. All the greens even had goose crap on them. Such a shame as I used to like play this course in the past. Wisp should care it’s gone downhill but I don’t think they do sadly.

Beautiful overall layout

The traps are very poor and on some holes they are mostly dirt, crabgrass. Some of the fairways and tees are burnt out and not watered.

Disappointing Round

Half of the tee boxes had no markers in place, and the 15th was very hard to find (senior and women's tees).

Sand boxes were atrocious.

Greens were reasonably good.

Greens are the only part of the course that are nice

They have a lot of work to do to get the course back in shape. A fair price until they do is $35 including cart for 18.

Poor course conditions overshadows beautiful mountain layout

Read few negative reviews prior to booking but hoped that conditions got better. For any golf course, the condition was worse than the worst. Poor tee box , fairways and greens made it tough to enjoy the beautiful course layout. I cannot understand why a “resort” course would feature a course of this quality to represent their resort. Only if you are desperate to play anywhere you should play here.

Lovely course

For the $45 hot deal I am not disappointed. Max, the pro was very friendly and helpful. Great layout, decent greens, only issue they look to be resolving is the quality of the bunkers. Will play again.

Not worth it anymore.!

I haven’t played this course in awhile, and wow have they let this course conditions go. Goose crap everywhere. Weeds growing out of the bunkers and haven’t been tended to in awhile. I won’t be playing this course anymore. Sad, as it used to be a good course.

Great course next to the skiing facility

Really enjoyed this course! It’s tough with narrow fairways but a beautiful setting.
