About
Whispering Firs Golf Club is one of two courses operated by Joint Base Lewis McChord. The other course, Eagles Pride, is located southwest of Whispering Firs. Designed by Bob Baldock in 1962, Whispering Firs opened on what was then McChord Air Force Base and later became part of Joint Base Lewis McChord. Though it's a military golf course, it's open to the public but don't forget to check in with security at the visitor's center. The layout features well manicured fairways lined with mature trees and challenging rough. The small greens demand accuracy and are made even more difficult with strategically placed bunkers framing the edges. There are some tough doglegs that require conservative play, and water hazards come into play as well. Whispering Firs Golf Club will test a variety of skills but it's not an overly punishing course. Players of all skill levels will be able to enjoy a round here.

Golfer Reviews
Just needs a little TLC
Whispering Firs is fun track typical of the PNW. Tight fir lined fairways. Every hole is unique. Lots of doglegs that require some thought. Not a place to just bomb and gouge. They do a good job of keeping the areas within the trees clear so you can almost always find it and punch out as opposed to losing it. Paid $30 on a weekend to walk which is pretty good for the area. Greens and tee boxes were pretty beat up and need of some TLC. Restaurant/Bar closed so that was disappointing. Good value for the price.
A nice course!
Nice little course! Unfortunately my game was hampered by a bit more back pain than normal. I definitely will play again when I'm in less pain.
Greens were nice. Course is a bit soggy in some areas.
in the front gate, security persons were not allow to get in because they were not allowed and permitted my real ID of Oregon driver license. anyone read this massages then please let me know how to refund .
Slow play
I really enjoy playing this course, but in the past few weeks the pace of play has become so painful in the early afternoon, with as many as three groups waiting to tee off on the 8th hole. A few times slower groups will not let faster groups through, I’ve ended up quitting my rounds cause of slow play.
A Very Enjoyable Experience
It's an excellent course in a beautiful setting that I very much enjoyed playing. The staff is friendly, courteous, and helpful. The only thing that kept me from giving it a unanimous five star rating is the generally poor condition of the bunkers. That said, I will definitely continue to play this course as it's an excellent value.
