Good Track - Needs some help
This was a challenge for first time players. However, the course was nice and great value for the money. They need to upgrade some of the fairways, in fact, I saw a notice to members that they can move the ball if not on grassy area without penalty. I saw this after play. We would play again. It was nice to have the GPS on the cart with hints. Distances didn't match card or our hand held Bushnell V-2
Greens
The greens were beautiful. This course is great for the price on Golf Now. $32.50 each.
Great staff and great course
This is an amazing golf course with a great staff.
Great time on a course on the rebound
This course was a good value for the money. Booked on GolfNow.com and got a great tee time was paired with great guys and the course was in good condition. Greens are on the rebound and the layout is interesting with many doglegs and elevation changes.
Course features
The course it self was nice and in good condition. Pretty challenging with all the dog legs, so the course really makes you think from shot to shot. The greens were rolling fast and the greens keeper definitely made it rough on the locations of the holes but who does not like a challenge. Hope this helps, for the price you can not beat the playing conditions and the staff hospitality plus the GPS golf carts help selecting club much easier.
Birthday round
Good course. Teed off 1st one. Course was in good shape. Working still on trim work in trees.But good course.
Great course for the money
The Warrior group has spent time and money to improve the overall course condition, and they have done a great job so far! When the greens soften up the will be great!
Variety of holes is a plus
Varied fairways are interesting. Greens are new, good and true. Integral GPS-s on golf carts offering distances and tips make good caddies. Personal are friendly and professional, the food and beverage are good. - what else would we want from a golf course?
Not bad for the money
Some holes are confusing if you've never seen the course before.
All holes are different
No one likes all the same things, but as a player I like elevation changes and turns. This course had both and each hole was unique. Not a cookie cutter back and forth layout. We played from the tips and because of the elevation changes and turns, it plays longer than yardage. From tips par 3s are long. Par 5s are very short. Need to play it a couple of times to get the hang of it.
great greens
Second time playing this course. Very enjoyable for both of us. Management extremely friendly and accommodating.
5 hour round
course let out 3 people with 5 players when the course was busy that is wrong and that is why i had a 5 hour round
ANYONE THAT PLAYES GOLF
HA PLAYED COURCE ONCE BEFORETOOK 6 OTHER PLAYERS WITH ME THEY ALL ENJOYED IT WHEN WEATHER IS GOOD WE WILL BE BACK BECAUSE COURSE IS GOOD AND THROUGH GOLFNOW PRICE IS RIGHT
This course has brand new greens
This is a fun course to play. The course was in good shape for "winter" conditions. Enough water, elevation changes, and doglegs to keep you entertained and interested. The new Bermuda greens are beautiful and run true. Good value for the money. You won't be disappointed.
Greens
I found the greens to be extremely difficult, although my skill level is rather low.
New greens, pretty layout.
Good shape, 2 groups let me thru. Great greens(but fast), good fairways and bunkers. Visually pleasing with fun elevations. Friendly shop. Let me off early(big help).
The greens make the course
The course is average in distance but narrow on many holes which requires placement and the greens are lightning fast compared to courses in the area.
Good conditions throughout.
Tees & fairways in good condition, greens were excellent - firm, smooth & true.
new greens were very smooth, but still too firm. Fairways were average for this time of year, should be completely lush and full.
Not bad for an average course in the Pinehurst area. Interesting track with many different types of holes. Scorecard does not match with online scoring software.
Great place to play.
First time on this course. Had a lot of fun discovering this course. It was in great condition. Greens rolled true, but had a few breaks that were fun to read. You have to keep the ball below the hole on the greens or you take a chance of the ball rolling off. That's how fast the greens are. Loved the view & lay out of the course. WE will play it again. Oh, by the way, I scored an eagle on the 1st par five on the front nine. Putted in from off the green. One of the workers mowing the grass saw it go in & gave me a thumbs up. Thanks!

First let me apologize for your pace of play on 2/22. The average pace of play at Whispering Woods is generally under 4 hours. I would like to invite you back to give us another try. I am confident that not only will you play at a better pace, but you will recommend our course to all of your friends.
Thank You,
Chris
