Whispering Firs Golf Club

Even though the day we golfed was very warm, the course is still a good course to walk. The course was challenging but fair. All of the trees provide great shade, but beware of all of the ant hills!

Very nice course. Challenging long par fours, nicely wooded, well maintained. Very much worth having to stop and get a visitors pass to get on base. Played here several times and the wait to get a pass has never been more than 20 minutes.

We spent an hour to get a visitor badge(pass) since the course is in the military base. It was a nice course to play. However, I would not play there anymore because of all the hassle.

I got a great Sunday deal on GolfNow for myself and my son. We had an 11:34 tee time, but when we got there it was wide open, so they let us go off at 11. We cruised around in a little over 3 hours and as we left the 18th green, it started to pour rain. Despite being a little damp, the greens and fairways were firm. Great value here.

My first time playing this course. With it being on base, I wondered what it would be like... I was very pleasantly surprised.

The Tees were emaculate. It was a pleasure arriving at every Tee.

The fairways, also emaculate and with clear views of hazards in case you didn't drive well. The rough was rough IF you drive a shot into it. The trees that lined the fairways were merciful to a degree. there were some areas that needed work, but for the most part were in great shape.

The greens were clearly under repairs and marked as such, but the good areas of the greens were in great and more importantly in consistent condition.

Shot difficulties were over water hazards, over tall brush, and around strong dog legs for accuracy.

The course would be a favorable walk for those on foot for sure. Mostly flat with slight upgrades and downgrades here and there.

My round resulted in a 4 under par scratch. Unreal considering this was my 21st game of golf. But everything I did, seemed to work in this round. It was an experience that I won't ever forget and I loved the course.

The experience was truly great. The course I am giving a rating of "excellent' to because it's really in greate shape.

I will absolutely play there again first chance I get.

I still can't believe I shot a 68. Even my (usually TOPPING) 3-wood attempts worked. I hit onto the green from way out giving me tow chances at Eagle putts... neither of which I made. Darn it. But it was hugely exciting to have the chance let alone two.

Also I want to commend the golfers ahead of me, I only had to repair like... 12 ball marks on the greens for the hole round and I found only two cigarette butts on the greens. Yay!!!

Good job Gentlemen! Let's keep on keeping it clean and tidy for each other.

Next round (#22) tomorrow at Riverbend. Still trying to figure out this game.

Super awesome course... Great value.

pace of play very well, good condition, love to go back again agaain

Please change the info regarding what is required to be allowed to the course from the McCord Airforce Base. You required two pieces of PICTURE ID. Not just two pieces of ID. Plus they have to be approved by the McCord. Passport and License are acceptable.

Played the course on Monday, June 20, 2016. Great course buy they have a very bad Ant problem on the fairways, rough and greens. I asked if they were going to spray and they said they couldn't. It is very distracting when you are trying to hit your ball and ants are crawling around you, the ball and on the ball. Hopefully the ants will go away as the course is a great course.

If you like trees and narrow fairways, you'll love this course. They need some insect control to manage the ants that are everywhere on the greens. Course is otherwise in good shape.

Had a great time. Will go again

This is a challenging course. Low price. Not super busy. Worth the price!!

Better make sure you get there early to get through the gate. Fun course with a unique layout. Lots of hard dog legs. Greens were slow and not very true but I'm sure that will shape up as we keep getting nicer weather. Some cool retired military guys hang around the course

The Course was in pretty good shape on the Fairways. The Greens were still a bit bumpy, and the Ground Keeper needs to put some Sand in the Bunkers, seriously I think it was hard pan covered by a 1/2 inch of sand - very poor Bunkers. But we got an extremely good rate, which the guy behind the cash register kept reminding us - to the point of almost being offensive. Finally had to tell him we didn't set the prices but were just looking for a good bargain for a Sunday Round of Golf. The 19th Hole was pretty darn good afterwards, order the Burrito and steer clear of the Wraps. Beer was very good and cold, and a good selection of drafts.

One las thing to remember is that it is on a Military Base so you have to go through a background to get on; Drivers License, Registration, Proof of Insurance, and starting in May either an Enhanced Drivers License or Passport required.

Greens came back great after aeration. Still couple of bumps but they rolled fast and true. Another week and it could be in the awesome category.

This course provides a decent level of play for all skill levels. It has some challenging par 3 holes with good hazards in play. The overall course design is pleasing and the conditions where good. I would go play this course again and would recommend it to all skill levels.

A fun day with friends at the course. Spring & winter rains have hurt this course. They are doing a good job of repairs to the greens. Water over the cart paths on a couple holes did not hinder play. Fairways in good shape. Good value for the price. Will play again.

Course was in great condition for the time of year, a little bit confusing on where to go with the flooded cart paths on 2 holes, but an awesome course to play, especially for the price, I look forward to playing here this summer!

Booked 3 player 18 rounds of golf.
First game of the year and first time at course.

Since it's military base you can't just walk in. It is open to the public. Read someone that it is not open for public, that guy is clueless.

Need to check in at vistors center before entering the military base. Needs (registration, insurance, I-D)

Direction is not clearly enough. Went to 2 wrong gates.

Just solid course. Lots of par 4's and 5's, full 18 holes.

I have been playing this course for 5 years , the staff are just amazing and so friendly. I hardly ever have to wait and half the time I have the course to my self. I golf all over the south sound. But hands down my favorite place to play.

Impressed me for my first time playing here. Manicured fairways, challenging distances and obstacles, really had fun!
Scorecards could be updated to wax (currently just sliced photocopies that didn't hold up to rain).
Hard to get in (need a temp pass to get into the base) but the experience is worth the trip and low greens fees to come.
