Good Course, Slow Play
Returned to Whispering Wood after playing the course several weeks ago and enjoying it. Not the same experience due to the extremely slow pace of play. My group had to wait to hit at all but one tee box, sometimes for quite a while. A course Marshall came by at the 7th hole and said the pace was going to speed up, but it never did. Hot day and coupled with lots of waiting means a not-as-enjoyable round.
Whispering Pines
Great value and staff was exceptional helpful. Walked on Saturday morning at 7:30 and done in 3 1/2 hours. Greens and fairways in great shape under new management team.
A nice walk around PineHurst
It was nice,day at the Course. I played with a nice young man. We were finished in 31/2
Hours the Greens were not as fast as i was told but it did not matter.
The layout was,fine. The back nine was longer then the front. OVERALL
A great day..
Worth a Visit
Enjoyed my first round at Whispering Woods. A beautiful course with challenging, yet playable holes it is one of the gems of the Pinehurst area. Only downside was that our foursome was constantly pushed by smaller groups that we let play through. Course maintenance was odd in some areas where sod was just laid on top of the existing turf though that did not impact play. A course worth putting on your to-play list in Central NC.
Hot Golf
Course was is really good shape! Best shape in the last year. I try to play here each time I visit. They continue to improve this course everytime we play. Staff is so friendly and let us tee off early since we arrived early. No waiting..there was a group a few holes ahead and behind us...this was great as it was so hot(95) and we kept moving. Finished 18 in j under 3 1/2 hours.
Fun greens and Par 5s for days
Was an enjoyable course to play and has great prices. Staff in the pro shop, maintenance crew, and restaurant were very friendly. I will definitely be playing there again.
First time 30 years
Greens very good, overall condition good, was not crowded. Great value for the money, challenging course,
Awesome course
Played course 2 years ago and vast improvements were made since then. Every hole is an experience and you need to pay attention on when to use your driver. The greens are exceptionally fast which will cost you strokes. One hole on back nine had a green side bunker covered in weeds. Not certain why but it should be filled in or removed. We enjoyed the layout and we will be back again. Staff very friendly including those in the bar.
