Nice challenging course. Greens a little rough but early in the season. Bar and restaurant and all staff were great! Wish there was room for a driving range.

Grass Grass Grass

Got a round in today course called Whispering Woods Golf Club in Whispering Pines, NC. If you're not from here you probably don't know, well I gonna let the cat out the bag don't even go play there! Terrible course no grass on Tee Boxes, and Fairways, greens were amazing lightning fast. Just getting on the green was today's challenge lol. Ended up shooting an 85 not bad for the 3rd round of the year. Worse Golf course I've played in a while. Time with my Son priceless!

Grass is not growing as of yet due to soil temps, not hitting desired temp. You are obviously not aware of this. Just read ALL the reviews.
