Whitestone Golf Club

I do love the family environment at Whitestone. I really like the layout of the course. And most of the staff is pretty cool with the exception the hispanic girl recently hired to staff the concession stand. She is borderline rude, never smiles, exhibits zero enthusiasm, and otherwise shows no customer service skills. I would recommend HIGHLY that management here do two things immediately. First, REPAIR THE BALL MARKS! I would also put signs on all par threes to remind/​encourage players to repair ball marks. It is a problem! Second, for the love of all that makes sense, adjust your twighlight fees! You lost so much business when i was a member because my friends said hell no to your ridiculous twighlight fees/​hours. I really hope this course does well. As i said, it has an appealing family feel!

Drink cart closed before 4. Snack bar closed by 6. No coolers left at my 4 pm check in.. how could you not have at least 1 cooler per cart? Are you brand new in the business? Could have at least told me you were closing the snack bar at 6 so I could have gotten a couple more warm beers and water. Not happy but such is life.. I’m out after 9 holes. Hit make a pit stop for some cold water

Early Sunday morning. Going on 2 hours sleep, at best. Nursing a hangover /​still drunk from the Unilocal event the night before. BUT — I am nothing if not dedicated, and when I promised a co-​worker I would meet them for golf at 7:45 AM on Sunday, I am THERE. I live in Las Colinas, so this place was a hike for me. It took an hour to get to — no traffic. My co-​worker told me it would be $ 45, but it was $ 55. He messed up the golfnow booking — or whatever — this is what you get when you let other people make the plans. He was also very late. But whatever. I am determined. I already drove here so I am gonna golf. I got paired up with these two guys, a little older than me, they were brothers. They were also hilarious. We had a blast playing. I have never been here before — I lost like 6 or 8 balls — that’s pathetic. But some of these holes are downright devilish. There’s a par 4 where you hit to the right of the green, because there is this massive area of trees between you and the green. Other holes where you’d think you’d hit a good shot — only to find it disappeared. Like the bermuda triangle. But it was in decent shape. Tees and greens were solid. The traps are enormous — I only landed in 2, which was good. My co-​worker showed up on the 5^th tee — a par three over water, which I sank. I had a good time. As each hole progressed, my stomach settled, I sweated out the gin from the night before, and was completely wired by the time I got home. Can’t keep a good man down. I do recommend this place — for the price it’s a nice quiet course. Oh — minus a star for GAS carts — ugh I hate those. And the utterly bleak landscape. Some places, it’s like you’re on another planet; flat barren landscape or a sea of roofs, not to mention, snakes and tons of enormous grasshoppers — seriously it’s kinda gross. But very Texas! Good luck!!!

This course is wonderful! If you ever wanna go golf and actually feel like you got your money’s worth this place is for you! The Pro is young but he is great! Knows what he is talking about and genuinely cares about your golf game. The rest of the staff is friendly, too. The course itself is challenging but not to the point where you don’t enjoy yourself. If I could give this place more stars I would!

I liked this course a lot. I play pretty often, weather permitting and I would love to play here again.
The driving range is in good shape and provides flags at good warmup distances.
I played here during the week and had no problems with other groups.
The tee boxes are in decent condition.
The layout is pretty wide open for the most part, and even though there are trees lining the holes they never posed too much of a problem. Pretty much every hole is a straight shot. I think the only holes i remember not being able to see the flag from the tee box were one, ten and eighteen.
The course is pretty hilly, I wouldn’t walk it in any weather hotter than 70 degrees. I’m not sure if they even allow walkers.
I really liked the condition of the greens on the day I was there. There weren’t any weeds, and the speed was perfect. Not too fast, not too slow. There aren’t too many breaks on them either.
The clubhouse isn’t the type you’d want to hang out in. Barely anything there and the food selection was pretty weak.
The bunkers were inconsistent. Some were good, some weren’t.
I had a great time playing this course. If you find a good deal, you won’t regret spending a few hours chasing a ball around White Stone.

If you’re looking for a challenging course that doesn’t get too crowded check this place out. Yes… it’s a little bit of a drive from the metroplex but it will be worth it. The greens were in better condition than some I’ve seen closer to home and the holes were placed in tournament locations for that morning’s scramble. As for the negatives… almost every bunker had standing water in it, the carts didn’t have GPS and the rough would literally swallow your ball. Im not talking about the deep rough 20 yards off the green… I’m talking the rough surrounding the fringe. Green fees were right at $ 35 for a 12pm tee time. All in all, a great course to try once but I don’t think Ill be making the drive back out anytime soon.

White Stone has been around awhile and I’ve played there on several occasions. It’s not hard to get to, I-​20 west to 377 and then south a couple of miles.
The clubhouse is a large trailer like structure. I had assumed it was just temporary, but I’ve never seen any indication that they were ever going to build a new one. So amenities are just basic. No clubroom and minimal dining.
They have powerful gas carts which are necessary considering the extremely hilly cart paths. The hills give the course some nice changes of elevation, especially on the back side. The greens are decent for this time of year, but putt like a marble table top. Its hard to hold a line with the thin turf, and what you get is a lot of sliding. The pin locations are certainly challenging, with some side hill pin placements that makes putting sometimes similar to Putt Putt challenge.
There are some nice houses backing up to the course on the back nine, and then there is some range land, full of mooing cattle. This area makes you feel like you’re a million miles from civilization.
The green fees are very reasonable, but they no longer have GPS available on the carts.
Altogether, not my favorite course, and I never score well on it. But in fairness, I’m not a very good golfer.
