I Recommend This Course
January 2025
First time playing this course, very nice and well maintained fairways. There were a couple holes that had some maintenance going on that ran the entirety of the fairway (water lines). The greens were small but not in the best of shape. Given I played in the off season I did expect some maintenance to be going on. I did enjoy the course overall. I feel like it is a challenge for all skill levels. Very forgiving but challenging on its own right. For $40, it’s a tough one to beat. I will be coming back.

Pleasantly surprised
Played Whispering pines today. I was very pleasantly surprised. The greens on the front nine were not very nice but don't let that ruin your game. A little better on the back nine. The layout was quite nice. Some really nice holes. The first par 5 you get to is quite a beautiful hole of golf. The staff was very friendly. I will return for sure.

Better than Expected
Reasonably priced course with decent layout.
Tee boxes and fairways were OK considering that it was early December. That being said - the greens were in excellent condition and very fast.
