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.

for the $$ nice course very nice staff
Nice course, pace of play is good. Course holds up well for winter time will be back
One of the best courses in Western Washing
The only negative about playinjg Whispering Firs golf course is having to stop at the main gate to get an entrance pass. But that is a plus because when the Air Force controlled the gate, no one got on but military. This course is one of my favorites in Western WA. It is not as difficult as Eagle's Pride (Ft. Lewis) but it is still vey challenging as I found out when I got an "11" on holes #5 and 6. Course was in fantastic shape given all the rain we have had this month. I am really glad they joined the Golf Now program.
