Disappointed, Worst greens I’ve seen

Course layout is good, however it stops there. Worst greens I’ve seen and the course needs to be maintained. It’s a shame. Not worth the money they charge.

Good Course for the Price

Really enjoyed the round here, staff was friendly and helpful. Overall a good value for the money.

South Carolina was hit with unseasonably cold weather this past winter causing some issues with some of the greens. They are currently doing some construction to replace sprinklers and various upgrades. If your looking for a round of golf at a good price you will enjoy the round.

Greens and slow

I played after a storm so ninety degrees rule due to wet fairways. this slows the pace of play almost as much as cart path only. The greens need work, due to weed infestation.

A million dollar renovation is in the works, maybe a couple of years before my next round.

Whispering Pines

This course is a good value for Myrtle Beach. Some of the greens were in bad condition. I understand the course will close to redo greens and remove some trees. For the price I would play here again.

Greens Need Work

The first 6 greens were very bumpy, the grass was intermittent. The last 12 holes were ok, but didn't make up for the first 6

Nice course but needs repairs

Course was in decent condition but first four greens were in rough and bumpy shape. Apparently the course will be closed later in year to redo greens and other areas.

Greens

The greens were pretty bad fairways were nice and we had a bunch of slow players in front of us and players behind us hitting up on us knowing full well that we had to wait almost every shot. It got pretty frustrating after a few holes with slow players and then getting hit up on constantly.

A little over priced for what you get

The course itself is very nice. Greens were a little rough (.maybe it was the time of year) and thus your putting score was not true. I would love to see a Marshal out on course, we were behind a slow group and just maybe with a gentle reminder they could have picked up the pace. We payed a very reasonable amount through Golf Now however I do feel Whispering Pines is a little over priced for what you receive in terms of value you get on the course. Location is great if in south Myrtle.
