Don’t recommend
Fairways were in poor conditions. Greens on front needed to be cut and divots repaired. Greens in back were cut way short but fairways were even in rougher condition than front. And I’m not a fan of gas carts and cart paths were not maintained at all Staff very nice
Played here many times
Through the years and I don't get tired of it. The rolling layout and hole shapes ensure no two holes play the same. Severe slopes on the first four greens test your pace control as do several other greens. Conditions were pretty good considering the recent heat wave although a few greens were showing signs of stress, but still very playable. For golf in this area this is a good value.
Good course great value
Course was in good shape some rough areas due to recent heavy flooding rains but completely playable. Staff was friendly and helpful
Really enjoy this course
Excellent pace of play. Very enjoyable layout. Challenging, but fair. Good greens. Super pace of play. 18 in 3 1/2 hrs. Can’t beat that! Everyone is very friendly and helpful.

Wrong representation
Golf now had this course rated at 4 stars
Other 4 star courses in the area BLOW this course and its condition AWAY. GOLF NOW NEEDS TO HAVE MORE OF ITS RANKING TO BE ABOUT THE GOLF COURSE INSTEAD OF THE FACILITY AND FRIENDLINESS OF STAFF. IM JUST SAYING !
Played here many times
Course is in better overall condition than normal but the greens were a bit slow, but still good. Several trees have been cut down since last time most notably the large pine on the right side of #5 which framed the tee shot perfectly with the smaller ones on the left.
Whispering Woods- Needs work
Tee boxes had not been mowed. Greens were in poor/fair shape.
Course layout was not bad and had some challenging holes, but for the area, they need to keep it in better shape.
