Love This Course

Whiskey Creek is my favorite course in MD. I try to play it a couple times each year, but the rack rate on the weekends is too expensive so I look for days during the week when I can make the almost one hour drive. I love the layout, which provides a nice balance of risk/reward holes. The vistas--especially #4--are beautiful. The fairways were beautiful, the bunkers were nice, and the greens were quick but running true. The rough was a tad on the long side and thick so was somewhat penal. From tee to green, the course was in excellent condition. We were a twosome and a single joined us who was very slow! The marshal said something to him, and he seemed to pick up the pace. After the round, we sat out on the wrap-around porch and had lunch. Our waitress (sorry, I don't remember her name) was exceptional and took good care of us. The food came out quickly and was very good. We left her a good tip for her efforts. Whiskey Creek is an Ernie Els design and is exceptional. You have to play it at least once--you'll see the excellent condition, the beautiful vistas, and the fairness of the layout.

First Time Playing

Great Course but staff could improve

Course was in excellent condition, which is to be expected for the amount they charge for a round of golf. However my experience with the gentleman working the golf shop was far from excellent. I had a 7:00 tee time which you pay top dollar for. His first reaction when I arrived early to pay and warm up was to tell me that they weren’t open yet and shut the golf shop door. Then when paying for the tee time I mentioned that my playing partner was unable to make it that morning and I would be paying for one. He questioned my statement and then stated that he should charge me for the second tee time since they typically require 24 hour notice, but that he would not. After playing my round which was great, I get home to find that through the GolfNow app, Whiskey Creek reported that I was a no show and that I would be charged for the second tee time. A bit shady and poor business practice… there are a bunch of nice courses in the area so unless Whiskey Creek resolves this issue, I will not be returning and don’t recommend playing there.

Amazing

My friend and I played whiskey creek for the first time today. Not only was the course in amazing shape, it was also incredibly fun and challenging. The service was top notch! Everyone is extremely helpful and eager to please! I think I was asked how my round was 3 times while leaving from 3 different people. Highly recommend this place!!!!

Beautiful course!

Beautiful course! Well-maintained course with friendly staff. Very enjoyable scenery. Greens played medium pace. Par three tee boxes were well used. New golf cart technology and parking lot assistance was phenomenal.

Great Experience

Everything about the experience was great. Conditions, layout, and page of play. The staff couldn't be nicer and more efficient. Well worth the cost and one hour drive.

Always a good time out

I’ve played this course in the cold, rain and on days like this - perfect conditions, and the one constant is the shape of the entire course, always the best it can be. I play most of the courses along the 270 corridor and this is by far the best in the area - might be a bit pricier than some but we’ll worth every penny.

Poor course conditions

I've played this course dozens of times. This is the worst it's been in years. Fairway digits everywhere. Greens not in the best if shape with most of holes.

It Is What It Is - WC’s Confirmed Standard

Same ole ridiculously slow pace of play, with maintenance & player assistance employees more concerned about catering to their free playing, fellow coworkers and their family member guests than WC’s paying patrons.

Great course - great staff - great condition

Whiskey was in great shape. Got around in 4:10. Staff was very friendly. Paid $120 which is a little steep but I guess the price we pay in the area. Definitely recommend playing here. Dollar for dollar with other courses in the area WC is worth it.
