Fun Course to Play
This course is a little rough around the edges. But, under new managements expect to see considerable improvements. The layout is excellent. Greens are very fast which makes it very difficult to putt with many severe slopes. Course is very dry from lack of rain and watering.
Slow going.
The course is nice with interesting challenges. There was a very slow foursome in front of us with no ranger to speed their pace. So, the round was 5+ hours. Normally it is just around 4 hours.
Nice course; slow play
Course was in great shape. Pace of play was very slow. Group of five, and group before ahead of me. Needed a Ranger out there.
Nice shape
Pace was 4.5 hours. There was a fivesome in front of us. Front 9 was slow. Back nine it opened up. Greens were in good shape but not consistent in speed. I would play here again.
Whispering woods- Come a long way
Without question this place is awesome!@! Greens slicker & in much better condition than most of the high dollar clubs in town!!! We loved it & honestly couldn't believe the quality/quickness of the greens- it was one of those deals where you couldn't believe how good of a track you got for the price- cuddle to the Super- he's got them rolling FAST!!! Great deal!!!- JP
Great course
We caught this course on a great deal, the course was amazing for the price, greens were good, and fairways were good, not much grass in fairways this time of year and it was wet but bang for the buck i've not played better.
Very nice course for the price to play.
Good to see structural improvements being made to upgrade the course for a good day for us poor ole wannabes!
NIce layout
I played this course many times over the past 10 years but it had fallen into disrepair a few years ago. This time it was much improved and the conditions were much better than in the past. Also the restaurant and carts were nice and the personel in the proshop were very accommodating . We played in a little over 3 hours with no holdups. We will play again soon.
Fun track
Opening holes are a little quirky, but when you get to hole 4 its a whole new world. Course was a lot of fun, and I would definitely go back.
Coming Along
I must give the new owners credit for really putting an effort into getting this course back in shape. they actually rake the bunkers nd the greens are perfect. For $32 bucks great value. and a fun course to play!
whispering woods
for the time of year in early February i did not expect much. no driving range which really stinks. the course was very soggy. Greens were in good shape but there were some that had issues. bunkers were flooded as well. i’m sure it plays better in the summer but right now it had some issues.
condition horrible
pace of play was good Staff was friendly restaurant food was good course condition left a lot to be desired Will not play here again
