Reviews of Whirlpool Golf Course
Christoph M
Nice public golf course, one of the last courses designed by Stanley Thompson, Tees for all levels, well-maintained course, very fair design, friendly staff.
Eric Labonté
I cannot believe how lush the course was, even the rough! From the tee box, to the fairways and finishing off on the green, there wasn't any ground under repair, no dry patches, simply marvelous conditions. On top of that, the change in elevation definitely keeps you on your toes. Will definitely come back for another round.
Kevin Lau
I was visiting NOTL and had time to play the front 9. The proshop associate was very friendly and professional. The course itself was well-groomed and in great shape. The greens are nice and smooth. It is a challenging layout with bunkers and bodies of water. I will come back again in the near future to finish the back 9!
Kyle Villarroel
This was my second time ever playing a round of golf! Had a really good time. Very nice staff, only once were we told to hurry up. We were on the 16th hole and told the next three holes were wide open. We shot 18 holes in about 4.5 hours. Really good food. I would come back!
Brian Kumar
Played June 1st. Course in great shape. Tee boxes green and flat. Greens roll true, medium speed not large mostly round receptive to good high approach shots. Fairways good shape most narrow some 25 yards wide. Staff friendly and helpful. Bar staff funny and friendly. Overall course is challenging but rewarding. Will definitely return.
