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.

Whispering Pines is a fun course

I like Whispering Pines. I’m a 68-year-old OK player (with the t-shirt to prove it!) who plays for fun. Some of the holes at WP are too long for me to reach in regulation, but others are in reach with good swings. I had a birdie on one of the par 3’s. The course is in good shape. The pace of play was a little slow, but that was the fault of a foursome a couple of groups ahead of us who played like they were the only people on the course. The course ranger talked to them a couple of times about playing faster. The staff was friendly and courteous. I’ll go back to WP when I’m back at the beach.

Nice greens

I really enjoyed the greens. It would have been nice to have a ball washer on the course every now and again since the carts didn’t have one. The few ball washers we came across were either broken or had no towel or both. Should be very easy, quick fix. Some interesting holes. They should have a crew that drives down the fairways with dirt to fill in the bare spots.

Older Course

Older Course and it shows. Range balls were probably hit by Tom Kite when he was 15.

Overall, had a good time for $45.

Nice greens

Greens were the only good condition on the whole course! The course was soaked in spots! Fairway and roughwere not well taken care of—-no maintenance. Lay out was pretty good. Could use another set of tees at the 6000 yard marks!

Afternoon delight

Had a 1:00 tee time which worked out great for pace of play. Was a single paired with another single. We finished in under three hours. The course was in very good condition compared to others I played in the area. Very good deal on teeoff.com for $43.99. The course had wide open fairways and plenty of water although the water didn't come into play much. Located across from the airport if that is important to you

Great course

All was great on this couse. Everything was adequate from greens to the fairway. Pace of place was good even though I thought after seeing the parking lot, it would be a long day. Yes really nice course for everyone to play.
