One jerk on staff ruined the round
Unfortunately for me and my wife our round was ruined by one jerk on the staff. We were harassed 3 times about getting cart back in by 7:40, including this guy yelling as I stood over a putt that we needed to hurry while in reality still having 15 minutes to play the final hole. The course is actually challenging and in good shape but it only takes one jerk to ruin it. The management should take action.
Worth playing!
I would highly recommend this course to anyone that is looking to specifically play golf and for the love of the game. A good price and great condition conditions. Yes there are many courses around Myrtle Beach that are far more pristine and has all the bells and whistles, but it is all about just to play golf. This is your course and I would recommend it to you to give it a try. I played my best round so far this year at this particular course.
Pleasant Surprise
First time playing this course, and found it to be a pleasant surprise. For a municipal course it was in good condition. A few tee boxes needed some help and a couple of fairways need some help as well, but this time of year almost every course has some issues due to weather and heat. Every staff member I came in contact with was very friendly and extremely eager to offer assistance. For the price I highly recommend this course.
Horrible experience with staff
Our group of four beginners played a 9-hole round after being told we could play until 8:00 PM. We started around 5:00 PM and played a scramble format to help keep pace.
Despite this, the ranger/manager repeatedly approached us throughout the round telling us to hurry up, often in a passive-aggressive tone and making comments about wanting to go home. This made the experience stressful and uncomfortable, especially as beginners who were actively trying to keep up pace.
What was most frustrating is that we finished within the timeframe we were originally given, yet still felt pressured the entire round. Clear expectations weren’t communicated in advance, and the repeated interruptions made it difficult to enjoy the game.
While the course itself was fine, the customer service from the ranger significantly impacted our experience, and it unfortunately made us not want to return.
Great course!
Very forgiving course. Watch the double dog leg par 5 on the back 9-CRAZY hole!
Rude Staff
We were the last group out on the day (nobody behind us) and told to wrap up our 9 holes by 8:00. We were interrupted no fewer than 5 times by a staff member in a golf cart telling us to hurry up. At one point, he blatantly threatened that if we didn't finish by 7:00, he would force us to finish. We finished the round at 7:50, and he made a rude comment on cart drop-off. He single handedly guaranteed that Whispering Pines will never see our business again
Great course, great value.
Greens were not punched and were in great shape.Fun challenging course. Can't beat the price.
great course
Course was in great condition even with the rain. Greens ran thue. Would recommend this course to everyone
Good course, aweful staff
From the moment we checked in my wife and I felt like we were a burden to the staff and unwanted. With a 4pm tee time and an open time sheet, we were questioned immediately if we’re were going to finish on time. We played 18 in 3 1/2 hours.
The starter when Mer was only concerned when he was going to get the cart back, and warned us “ we’ll come get the cart at 8pm regardless of if your done or not” After 9 holes, there were no amenities open to pick up food or refreshments at 530pm. After we teed off on 10, the starter chased us down and told us that the pros hop guy said we’re we’re only playing 9. We corrected him, and reminded him that we in fact paid for 18, and that he collected our receipt before starting our round!
The course was in ok shape, due to the lack of rain. Loved the layout. $45 for rentals was a steeep price to pay, we were unable to bring our own clubs for the family trip. Rental clubs were dirty when given to us. Ridiculous when paying for rentals.
The staff need to be more welcoming and friendly
No Marshall
Waited amd waited on 9 2 groups waiting on t box when I pulled up skipped it and went to the clubhouse they issued a raincheck but I doubt I will go back
wouldn't play again
Course staff was very rude. Pro shop staff and snack bar staff were not friendly or very helpful. Ranger told us we were 20 minutes behind after two holes, and group was a hole and a half in front of us, when we got to next tee, the group had just finished teeing off. Our pace of play was 4:20, just five minutes off their recommended time.
