Links at Whitmore Lake


What an interesting course. The first 9 is very links style with kind of side by side holes. The back nine is in a more natural setting with lots of marsh, trees, and narrow fairways. You had to use a lot of strategy and knowledge of the course really helps. Fortunately, we were put with a couple who golfed there many times and they told us a lot of where to hit, what was ahead, etc. The course was very playable for women cause their tees were way ahead of the men, thank goodness! But the tee boxes (womens' anyway) were really unlevel. Seemed like a lot of par 3s but they weren't always easy ones. Some of the greens were quite rough also - seems like a lot of folks don't know how to fix divots. A lot of the holes - in the front anyways - were by the clubhouse so bathrooms weren't an issue but there were a couple port-a-johns around. No cart girl again...I think that's how it is nowadays. Anyway, I golfed pretty good here and would like to play this course again.
