Course is in good condition minus a few spots on greens. It’s a tight layout but nothing unfair. Higher handicap golfers may lose a lot of balls.

So many reasons to not go back

It wasn’t an option in the choices, but I would have given this course a A for consistency. Unfortunately for me, the awful experience began well before the first tee. The staff was at best unfriendly, and at worst disrespectful. That, combined with the generally poor conditions really made for a poor experience. After having such a great experience at the first course we played that day, we booked a tee time late in the day, and tried to save a few bucks. This was truly a “you get what you pay for course.” I would not recommend this course.

Great day on the golf course

This was the second time we played at Whispering Pines. We played early in the morning (7:16) and the pace of play was great. The course conditions were wonderful. The staff was friendly and helpful.
