Whitmore Lake Golf Links — Local services in Northfield Township

FORCED TO BREATH CHEMICALS WHILE GOLFING!! My friend Tom and I like to go to new courses so I thought he might like The Links at Whitmore Lake since he had never been there. As a member of the Golf Association of Michigan he even had a coupon to use. First, the pace of play was very slow with groups of 2 (not 4) and there were no rangers around. Second, it was in the 90s and there were no cart girls to offer an alternative to hard tasting course water. The kicker was when THEY STARTED SPRAYING CHEMICALS RIGHT IN FRONT OF US ON THREE SUCCESSIVE FAIRWAYS! Tom said his nose and throat were irritated and that he was quitting after 9 holes. I talked to the Asst Mgr and the Superintendent and they said that no one else was complaining about the chemicals. No apology, just sorry that Tom felt bad. (So go ahead and poison me if I don't complain?!?!) Then they said that It had to be done while we were golfing because the grass might die if they waited until the next morning (no lie). Finally the real reason came out from the Super "Am I supposed to pay overtime to have guys do it tomorrow morning(Sat) ??" IF THEY ARE WILLING TO SPRAY CHEMICALS ON A WINDY DAY DURING PLAY IT MAKES YOU WONDER ABOUT THE FOOD, THE WATER, AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT COULD...

I live along the 10th hole (one of only two holes with homes), and play here several times a year. It's very scenic and always in nice condition for the 10 years I've been playing it. You really feel like you're away from it all on many of the holes, especially 12-17. This course is a great value for the quality of golf. It's very fun and relatively easy to score from the white tees, but the black tees are a challenge for just about anyone. The tees are decent, fairways and greens are always in great shape, only the bunkers could use some work (they have started addressing the worst ones). And the practice putting green is big and very nice, next to the first tee and convenient to get a feel for green speed before you tee off. During the week, you can zip around by yourself or as a twosome, but like many courses, you're better off to call a few buddies and have a leisurely 5-hr round on the weekend. Bottom line, I never get tired of playing this course,...

I recently had the pleasure of playing a round at Whitmore lake golf links and overall, it was a fantastic experience. The course is beautifully maintained, with lush fairways and well-manicured greens that made for an enjoyable and challenging game. The staff at the clubhouse were welcoming and helpful, and the amenities were top-notch.

However, there was one issue that detracted from an otherwise great day. On a par three hole, the individual responsible for repairing divots on the greens was quite disrespectful. Despite our polite requests, he refused to step away from the green, creating a distracting environment for our shots. This lack of consideration was disappointing and not in line with the otherwise high standards of the course.

Aside from this incident, I highly recommend Whitmore lake golf links for its excellent layout and overall quality. Hopefully, the management can address this issue to ensure all players have an uninterrupted and...
