Had to skip 3 holes due to course play being incredibly slow. It would have ended up being a 5 1/2 hr. round.

Won't be back

My biggest complaint was that there were no 150 or 100 yard markers! Cmon man,not everybody uses a range finder. Very poor course conditions,they need a new superintendent. Crab geass on tees,greens were horrible. Scruffy,sandy,but weren't aerated,strange indeed. They were slowww! Sand traps are weed traps with dirt. Over watered and muddy in spots. Find another location.

Has Gone Downhill and stayed there

I last played Whisper 2 years ago. At that time the grass was unkept, greens and tee boxes were overgrown and mushy, and traps were mud pits. I heard they were under a different management group so I gave them another chance. Unfortunately, it’s gotten worse. I actually asked the manager on duty about it and he said they need to invest about $1 million but the owners, not the management group will not. It’s in a retirement community so the pace of play is never going to be great, however I have never been here and able to ride the carts free range it’s always cart path or at best 90 degrees. There were times we couldn’t tell if we were in the fairway or not. The worst is hole 18 is visible from the restaurant and it’s the best kept hole, giving me false hope as I prepared to play and saw beautiful waterfall and fairway from the bar. For 70$ (special it’s usually 75) even the two we were paired with said it is awful value compared to all the courses in that area.

Weed in the trap?

What was once a beautiful course has now become a weed patch. Not sure who is managing this course but it is pitiful.

Great lil Jewel!

Great place to play. The course layout was great and in nice condition. The greens were smooth and true. Some of the bunkers were rough, but overall a fantastic course. The club house is really nice and the staff was awesome. I can't wait to play it again.
