Have not played Whittier in some time, used to be on the regular rotation. However, was always difficult to get a weekend morning tee time and played very slow. Walked on as a single 10/28. First 4 holes were splendid and fast but hit the proverbial wall, a 3 some, which I joined, a 4 some, 4 some and 5 some. The problem was they were your typical Korean golfers, which means, slow. I can say that because I am also Korean! Tee boxes were sanded a little while ago with all the tee markers moved up. Fairways were the same, thin, plenty of roll and the greens were average. All in all, a fun place to gain confidence.

Now for the course review.
This course has 3 -Nine holes. They use two sets of 9 for the 18 hole course and one set of 9 holes for just playing 9 holes. Not a bad set up if you are pressed for time. Tee boxes are relatively flat. They are updating more than half the tee boxes and look to be done later July. Currently they have tee boxes set up adjacent or around 100 yards in front of the new tee boxes so the course will play shorter. Several of the greens and bunkers are also redone and you can tell by the type of sand they employ. Newer, whiter sand, new green. Old sand, older green. Typical Muni, relatively flat. Course plays it like you see it. Just watch out for undulations in the fairway. You could end up in a valley and have to club up for your approach shot. Loads of mature trees line the holes. Fairways are pretty green and well maintained. Green speed is pretty decent. Not slow, just medium speed. You get faster greens for the newer ones.

Pace of play was fast for Friday. Finished in around 4 hours walking. Played as 3 some surrounded by two 4somes in carts.

Overall nice decent course and at $17 for twilight, walking, who will complain?

Played here last Tuesday and was pleasantly surprised by the fairway and green conditions. It was windy enough that day to affect ball flight but overall a great round.

he hole locations on the greens are farely easy and flat which has allowed me to finally break 90's. Great course to play on a sunny summer day.

I had not played here since 2004. I guess because my expectations were low, I was pleasantly surprised at the condition of the course, particularly the greens. They were excellent! Fairways not so great. Generally I felt the course was much improved since I last played here. I noticed some "new" greens. Because of the rain, pace of play wasn't too bad.

Course is one where you get what you par for. The tee boxes and fairways are still very spotty. The greens, however, were nice and green and rolled true with very few few ball marks. The round was ... Continue »

Course is one where you get what you par for. The tee boxes and fairways are still very spotty. The greens, however, were nice and green and rolled true with very few few ball marks. The round was quick at 4 1/2 hours. As mentioned in previous reviews the course is nice and wide lay out with little trouble throughout.

Don't expect a country club course at this muni, but it is fun. Tee boxes could use a lot of work, lots of divots. Sand traps were good some places and hard packed other places. Fun wide open fairways, although dying grass at parts. Enjoyable round. Played at 2:30 on a weekday, and got through 9 holes in just over an hour walking.

Fun wide open course. Most holes are in good condition, yet a couple of torn up tee boxes and greens. Pace is very good. About 3.5 hours at twilight on a monday. No cart girls. Staff is so so. T... Continue »

Fun wide open course. Most holes are in good condition, yet a couple of torn up tee boxes and greens. Pace is very good. About 3.5 hours at twilight on a monday. No cart girls. Staff is so so. The starter made me wait until a group showed up 20 minutes, when none came, then told me to go ahead and catch up with another group already out there. Also starter was a bit rude with treating me like an idiot for not knowing where the bathroom or cart area was.
You won't lose many, if any balls here. There is one wash you hit a tee shot over and lost one there, but most areas are wide open.

Played yesterday with three of my buddies using a coupon for complimentary geen and cart fees (for four) that I won at a tournament earlier this year. I was a bit concerned that I wouldn't be able to use the coupon during the "holiday" week, so I called for a tee time almost two weeks ago. Even though tee times are not usually given out more than seven days, the pro shop attendant made my reservation (thanks). When we arrived yesterday for our 9:52am tee time, we were even asked if we wanted to start early. We declined so we could warm up with a small bucket of balls at the range, but it was a nice offer. We played the River/Pine courses for our round of 18. The conditions were a bit soggy in many places throughout the course, especially on the first three greens on the River Course. As mentioned in other reviews, many of the tee boxes need some work to get back in shape, as there are bare spots and the boxes tend to be uneven. Overall though, the course was in serviceable shape for a municipal course. The course layout is pretty basic, with nice, wide fairways, and no real water hazards. The greens are relatively small compared to the wide fairways, so the course is fun for those who like to "cut loose" off the tee box then sharpen their shorter iron skills as they get closer to the pin. Pace was good at 4 1/2 hours. The customer service was excellent, and my buddies and I enjoyed our free day of golf.
