Definitely Spring Turf!

We had a challenging round with near bare ground in some fairways. Greens were very fast. Only lost one ball which was a victory given all the water on the course!

Very nice day

Whispering pines was a pretty nice course and a decent value for the myrtle Beach area. It was early morning w the dew on the ground so the greens were much better than the time I played earlier in the week. The greens were stupid fast and hard that day. I think they might have just rolled them.

Endless

We were paired with two other gentlemen for the round. They were marvelous. This round would have been a total train wreck without their humor and mutual commiseration. The fairways were generally okay, not great. The greens were another story. The starter chuckled and related that the speed of and the layout of the greens were "challenging". I am not a great putter but my wife pretty.good..

It was not even fun from a misery standpoint. The two others faired no better. Never again.

It was an "OK" course

very closely cropped fairways

some pin placements were really not fair' an example: one green I had a 12' putt uphill. the ball went 2" past the hole and then rolled back 25' completely off the green.

sand traps were well maintained

Interesting layout

The fairways were late winter conditions but the layout was very interesting. The greens were the fastest we played from 3/3 to 3/7...I have been to Myrtle beach and had never played this forgotten gem...

Stay away for a while

Recently rolled and pin aerated, greens are as staff said "slick". Uphill putts short come back further away than they started. Good luck if you are above the pin.

Greens did not hold at all. Hit some of my best approach irons to front/ middle of green only to find ball behind the green.

If any benefit, tee shots and long shots rolled forever.

I love this course but give it some time for thr greens to recover.

Whispering Pines

Located across from the airport this course was in nice shape for this time of year. Fairways were green unlike many courses in the area. Greens were fast and true and for most part in great shape. Each hole honors after a different military commander with a photo and biography. Very friendly staff and reasonable price.

Tough greens

Greens had tough undulations and some pins were in unfair spots. Greens putted nice when flatter. Fairway grads short. Nice layout and bunkers were good. Front nine very slow but pace picked up on back. Good value

Nice course

Whispering Pines has a nice variety of holes with some being a little challenging. As with most courses you need to stay in the fairway to score well.

Whispering Pines

Overall, the course had a great layout, it had rained really hard the day before, so there was a lot of standing water no fault of the golf course and it was cartpath only. Made it play way slow, but I would definitely recommend the course on a dry day, I think it would be a great track.
