Winter break

Late January round to satisfy need for a winter break. Course was in very playable condition considering the recent winter weather. Also maintenance on the irrigation lines was underway. Enjoyed the layout. Very friendly staff.

Just after the snow storm

It was a fun day even though we had snow in the shadows. Cart path only helped me get my step in.

Course conditions were fair considering the course just reopened after the storm.

Great layout. Greens were great considering they had not been cut for a couple of days.

Best 3 finishing holes on the Strand!

Ok

Some of the greens on front 9 bumpy. Was going at a good pace until running into 2 slow groups. Had to ask to play through and they did. Then ran into a fivesome that I drove around then rest of day was good. Would play again if a good price but low on my list. Not a bad course just didn’t excite me.

January 2025

First time playing this course, very nice and well maintained fairways. There were a couple holes that had some maintenance going on that ran the entirety of the fairway (water lines). The greens were small but not in the best of shape. Given I played in the off season I did expect some maintenance to be going on. I did enjoy the course overall. I feel like it is a challenge for all skill levels. Very forgiving but challenging on its own right. For $40, it’s a tough one to beat. I will be coming back.

Pleasantly surprised

Played Whispering pines today. I was very pleasantly surprised. The greens on the front nine were not very nice but don't let that ruin your game. A little better on the back nine. The layout was quite nice. Some really nice holes. The first par 5 you get to is quite a beautiful hole of golf. The staff was very friendly. I will return for sure.
