moderately challenging, Steve in Pro shop is the best

We were waiting to play on most holes (slow foursome in front of us). Fair conditions on Fairways and greens in good shape. It was a moderately challenging course for the cost..

Really enjoyed Whispering Pines, but...

Thoroughly enjoyed playing here. But...be prepared for lighting fast greens!!!!! LOL

The staff was very friendly and the pro shop was well stocked.

Really like the Air Force memorabilia, as well. (USAF 1990-97)

Looking forward to playing here again.

Andy’s review

Overall it was a great experience.only issue we had the group behind kept hitting into us. The Marshall was nowhere to be seen, even after I told the starter at the turn. Okay, one more thing, no beverage service on the course.

Other than that the staff was VERY friendly, pace of play was great! We played in 4:24, 18 holes and teed off at 10:00AM on a Sunday.

Great overall value!

Coulda woulda shoulda.

We chose this course for our last round on getaway day. The course is right across the street from Myrtle Beach International. We paid about $66 for a 9 a.m. round (not bad). The reviews were hit & miss. Most gave it a 👍. Some were a bit critical. I found it to be a decent layout, but nothing spectacular. Considering the price for the round, I found the overall conditions not up to expectations. Keep in mind, my expectations are based on my Midwest courses that I routinely play. I get it, you charge what you can get away with. And the thing I don't understand is that it can't cost more to maintain a course in Myrtle Beach than in StL or Omaha. And I do accept that. Just keep your course in Pristine conditions. That is what us out of towners want. We want to see country club conditions. Whispering Pines is a great course for 1st and last day ⛳️. Do you really want people to walk 🚶‍♂️ away disappointed.
