Will Pair You
This is a very interesting course but if you don’t like being paired with other golfers this is not your playing turf. My brother and I were supposed to be paired with two other players but only one showed up and there was some order issues at the start of play due to tardiness on the group ahead, but after the first couple of holes the pace was fine. Many doglegs and fairly tight fairways lined with trees. Check your scorecard map due to hidden hazards on some holes. The greens were fast, especially downhill putts. Very fun course and seems to be booked and busy.
Golf Carts
Golf carts are over controlling, when I told the starter I was handicap he said look at all the nice features this electronics offers you in this cart. Never turn on the handicap feature
Pace of play nightmare.
Was waiting 10 minutes on every tee box, left after 11 holes. An absolute nightmare of an experience.
True Value
A Very Solid Course to Play in a Regular Basis.
Whispering Willows is a decent muni course with a good mix of holes. It is generally in good shape. My main criticism is the way they restrict carts. Several times during the round my cart shut down because it thought I was in a restricted area. These events occurred in the middle of dry fairways with no indication that the cart cannot drive there. This is time consuming and irritating.
