Home course
Always love playing this course. Great new restaurant in the clubhouse.
I made the right choice.
My home course was hosting a big tournament, so I needed a different place to play. I’m glad I chose Whispering Woods. It is a fun course and the staff was great. Celeste greeted me with a smile and introduced me to the regulars I would be playing with. Joe and Rob were a blast to play with, and I would have enjoyed my round regardless of how I played. I had my ups and downs, but I enjoyed every minute of it. I think I’ll be back again. I loved the layout. There was quite a bit of variety and some really interesting holes.
To be open. There is no range, but they have a net to hit into off the side of #1 so you your first swing is not off the tee box. I’ve played other courses without ranges, so good on them to think of the net. Small putting and chipping area was good enough to get a feel for things on the course.
Course is Great
Came out and played on Easter and had a great time. Fairways are in great condition. The greens played well with good selection of pin locations. Pace of play was good, didn’t have hardly any wait time. The staff was very friendly and the price is very reasonable, I definitely recommend. This course will be in top peak condition in the next few months and I will definitely be coming back.
Hmmm...
Improvements appear to be in process. Some cart paths have been repaved, looks like some trees removed, greens are true and quick in places, fairways are mostly good but still spotty. Signage on the course is lacking and the scorecard says there are restrooms where there aren't. When you sit on the course and just look around, everything looks kind of low budget and I guess that's why I only paid $30. It's not a bad track by any means, but IMO, it could use a substantial shot in the arm with money, some redesigning and the performance of a LOT of deferred maintenance. At this price however, it's hard to complain. If you're looking for an inexpensive round, this is a good option. If you're looking for an amazing design or first class condition, this isn't your spot.
Nice little challenge
Fairways could have been a bit more green. Greens are fast. All said and done, the layout and toughness of the course is good for all levels of players.
Polite Staff
Nice little course. In a culture of increasing rudeness, the entire staff was friendly and not stuffy. Will definitely give them my business again. Two thumbs up.
This course has a great bang for your buck
The course has fast greens but they are in great condition. It is a good course layout with some water and lots of ups and downs.
Greens where great. The staff was fabulous. Great value for your money
Greens are unplayable. Fairways need water and have many bare spots.
Awesome Outing Today
Took 2 friends and had a wonderful round of golf! Had lunch afterwards and the STAFF was incredible! Paula our attendant is top notch. The chefs in the kitchen are tremendous too because the food was exquisite.
Greens were very tough but looked great
Had a great time playing out here with family and friends. The greens looked good, but were very fast. So I'd like to come back out soon and take on the challenge again.
Pin positions have been challenging. Greens didn’t hold putts well.
