Great Value and fun course

The staff was super helpful and that is such an important part especially since I had never played the course. The fairways were a little pockmarked but it was May and they are getting ready to renovate so not an issue.

Closing Soon...Enough Said

Poor condition both fairways and greens. Pay the extra money to play a well kept course. Completely understand as they are closing soon for renovations that drastically needed.

Issues with course

Greens were in horrible shape with disease spots on every green. Sand traps compacted not racked. Pace of play was okay, waited every hole. Course to my understanding will be closed near end of month for complete renovation. With all this in mind course should have offered a discount on thie green fees.

A Don’t Miss Golf Course

Whispering Pines was a great, affordable golf course. Wide fairways, wonderful views, wild life, and staff. Challenging for any player depending o n tees selected. Descent pace of play. Greens vs were very quick and true but many worn areas but playable. If we return to Myrtle Beach, a must replay. It’s directly across from the airport hut never an issue.

Could be a great course.

Course conditions weren’t great. Great layout but no one takes care of the course. $30 course at most.

Whispering Pines

Nice course with couple of really interesting holes. Super convenient from the airport if you are arriving or departing. The greens are small making scoring a challenge here. Worth the money for sure in my view.

Serene atmosphere

Played a morning round at Whispering Pines and it’s was an overall good experience. They are about to do a course overhaul so I can understand why the greens are in rough shape. The atmosphere of being surrounded by pine trees was a highlight. Course is fairly tight when you compare to a resort course like Grande Dunes. The greens are tiny with significant slopes (almost silly at times) which makes it challenging. Sad to hear they are going to be taking out a lot of trees in the remodel and there were signs that they have already started trees removal. I think with the regressing of the course will make a difference. If they slightly enlarged the greens by 30% and made them more level it would be incredible. Overall worth a play if you haven’t played there before so you can play again in September to experience the before and after.
