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.
As Expected
Had not played here since moving to the area approximately 4 years ago. Went off the back, which is the easier to the two nines. Front nine, had obviously been punched recently. An intriguing layout, that could be much better with some growth, and green rolling.
First time playing there, will go there again!!
Pace of play was great .! Course got 2 inches of rain the night before witch made goin for the pin a solid option. The bar was a friendly atmosphere.
Enjoyed the Course
Very good place to play. Interesting layout, overall good condition with a great pace of play. 18 holes in less than 4 hours. Can’t play many courses where you can get around that fast. Greens were good. We really enjoy playing there. Nice restaurant on premises. For the price this is an awesome value. We will be back.
Hot Round of Golf
I enjoy most everything about this golf course and have played here on multiple occasions. However, there is NO water on the course, yet you are told you cannot bring a cooler. The temps were in the 90s and there was not a water cooler to be found.
Everything else about this golf course is fine, and I will continue to play here, BUT PLEASE have some refreshments on the course.
Unfriendly front desk and poor course conditions
Unfriendly front desk wouldn’t recommend to anyone if it cost $5 a round and fairways and greens are in bad condition
Go play
Fun little track with and twists and turns. Stay for a meal afterwards too won’t be disappointed
Best value in the Sandhills. High handicapper. Course in good condition. Staff very friendly. Love the Fillies and Colts restaurant/19th hole. Big Pittsburgh Steeler fans. Can’t wait to go back.
Staff Rude
The course is improved and a value at $38-$48 however the manager is rude and acted as if she is doing me a favor allowing us to play their course. We had a player cancel and she stated “we costed her money” and she told the group behind us they were late as they checked in 10 minutes prior to their tee time. I have played this course for 25 years and we will not be returning until the management changes.
