Whispering Ridge Golf Course is an executive course that was designed to complement its sister course, the nearby Lakeridge Links. Although it does not have the same length the championship Lakeridge Links has, it still offers about the same level of difficulty. The layout offers a different set of challenges, providing a compelling alternative to the other course. Its design is versatile enough to appeal to a wide range of skill levels. A few water hazards come into play throughout as well as several deep, strategically placed bunkers. The gently rolling terrain provides some undulations in the fairways and greens. The par-3 third hole is one of the most challenging on the golf course with a gulch along the right as well as sand and rough to the left, all waiting to swallow even slightly errant shots. Accuracy is a necessity on this tricky hole.

Nice Executive Par 3/4 Course

We played Whispering and not its sister-course Lakeridge Links. The other course seemed to have a lot of early morning traffic while ours was very quiet. This was our first time playing Whispering. The staff in the Pro shop were courteous and apologized for the "closed" driving range. We were given a $5 discount off our rates to keep us happy. I would have preferred the range being open.

The course has some challenging Par 3s however fairly straightforward Par 4s and a couple of short Par 5s. There are some very nice views of the geography of the area, too.

Signage on the course from one hole to another is virtually nonexistent. Also, cart paths are potholed and very uncomfortable to ride through. They need to put some money into this area.

The restaurant and patio is simple and nice.

From tee to green the course was okay I found the challenge was green to tee box... some of the paths are in such rough shape I felt I was in a bumper car. Other than that was okay.

Nice place to enjoy a round of golf. Staff were quick and friendly. The condition of the course was very good considering the rainfall it got just before we teed off.

In terrible shape

Whispering Ridge was in terrible shape and looked as though no one had even tried to make any repairs. The cart path was awful. The greens were OK, but the tee decks were some of the worst I've ever played on. Bruce - from Bruce's Reward - seems to have bought this course and completely forgot to do anything with it.

$20 for a round with cart. Can't complain

Course is in good conditions. It's a very short course with a celebration of par 3s on the back 9.

Course in great condition

This is a short course (par 65) but challenging at all skill levels. Not alot of water to deal with, but some. Greens and fairways were in excellent condition. The only negative thing was thank followed a tournament which made the round very slow. Have played this course in 3 hours previously.

Better than working

Golf at Whispering Ridge was great. Weather was good and it was better than working. Only downfall was we were stuck right behind a tournament which we were not told about. It wouldn't have mattered as we still would have played but knowing that you would likely be waiting at some holes would have been nice to know. Thanks Golfnow for the deal.

Enjoyable course to play

An executive course with many challenges for my wife and I as new golfers and even for our friend , considered a very good golfer with 35 years experience. Greens survived a very hard winter in excellent shape. Tee boxes were good as were the fairways. Only complaint would be the cart paths. Huge potholes and very bumpy all over. They could easily be scraped and smoothed out with a minimum amount of work. This is a fun course with some challenging short holes and some nice long ones.

Early year round

Early spring play so course was in good shape (soft) given the weather. Cart trails need improvement.
Challenge is moderate and you can spray the ball a bit. Greens challenging and large. Enjoyable day with friends.

Great course with lots of variety

I play both courses at Lakeridge and even though Whispering Ridge is easier, it still has many challenges to make me come back for more golf.
The third hole (par 3) is 177 yds. With a valley to the right (impossible) and bunker to the left. It's a challenge for everyone!

Very enjoyable course to play

I really like the layout of this course. Every hole is different and has a good variety of short and long holes. The tee offs, fairways and greens were all in good condition.

Very Windy

Although the day we played was very windy with gusts up to 45K we still managed very good rounds. The course was very wet and this coupled with the high winds made for a very challenging round. I would highly recommend this course to any golfer at any skill level. There are several holes that you can reach the green with either a driver or 3 wood depending of the weather conditions of course.

This course is very good for the price.

The time it takes to play a round and the challenge that a few of the holes provide, keep this course on my to play regularly list.
