Below average should be a $25 course

Tourist trap course not worth the price and also was told by starter I paid the same and supposedly was a hot deal on golf now very disappointed bunkers were garbage and the greens were aerated need to also focus on the tee box conditions

Whispering pines review

The course was tough. There was a lot of water and the woods hugged the fairway. Great challenge for low handicap golfers but punishing to higher handicaps

Not good

The pro was a jerk. Greens were aerated so it was bad as is. On top of that he was very rude.

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.
