White has always suffered because of the comparison to its next-door neighbor, Sand Hills, which is uniformly regarded as one of the most important courses built in America in the past 70 years or so. How's that for competition! I wouldn't claim White is an architectural masterpiece, but it is a rollicking good bit of cartball fun. Great mix of holes, great greens, phenomenal natural site.
But now, White has a new problem, the Red Course. If one can feel sorry for a golf course, I feel sorry for the White. Everybody is going to go hole-by-hole with the Red vs. White and Red will win every time. That's reality. And that's a shame. If the White was the only destination course in the Sand Hills it would be in the Top 50 USA. C'est la guerre!
