Whispering Pines Golf Club

I played Whispering Pines with a friend on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Due to the weather, we were two of just a handful of players on the course. Like all the courses in Minnesota, it has been saturated by our rainy spring, but actually was in really good shape overall. After having a five minute conversation with the owner before we teed off, I could tell he really cared about the course and was eager to get feedback on what we liked and didn't like. I thought there were some really challenging holes with narrow tree-lined fairways and some holes opened up to accommodate my nasty slice. My advice would be take the drive and give it a shot.

Whispering Pines is named accurately, try aggressive play and the trees subtly coax your ball into trouble. This is a shot-maker's course that dares you to break concentration. A missed fairway usually demanded a shaped approach to some very intimidating greens. The greens had been recently verti-cut & top-dressed but rolled very true. The beautiful weather, hidden gem of a course and friendly manager/owner made a great day of golf, indeed.

A cute course with twists and turns that are creative.

Played Whispering Pines for the third time since last summer. The course has some of the best greens in the Greater Twin Cities west metro area. It is truly a 'hidden gem' of a golf course. Excellent greens, well-maintained fairways and a test for your golfing abilities. You have to think about your shots and then execute to get a low score. A great course to spend an afternoon of golf with friends. Very friendly staff how make you feel welcome and appreciate the opportunity to make your round fun.

I was very pleased with how they managed the leaves that had fallen on the course. There are trees throughout the course and for the two rounds I played the past week the only golf ball I lost was one I put into a pond. I had expected to lose a number of them because of leaves. That was part of the reason I went a second time.

This is a lovely course with lots of diversion - woods, marsh, hills, and interesting holes throughout. Really a fun track to play. Greens were a bit bumpy after aeration, but all in all a very nice golf course.

Challenging course with a lot of mature trees. Much work has been put into the course the last few years and it shows. Two thumbs up

I had not played here in several years, I was told the greens had improved so I went back to check it out, the greens still need work

Great variety of holes. Doglegs, Wide open links style, Big huge trees lining the fairways, precision aiming par 3's. Greens in very good shape.
Thanks for the improvements!!!

Maintained pretty well, relaxed environment, fun course for beginners. Staff could have been friendlier. Didn't seem to like that we got a deal online.

Historically this course has been the minimum maintenance/minimum green fee course for my area. There is new owners though, and they are tackling some projects that I like. It appears they are cleaning up and redoing a lot of the flowerbeds/landscaping so it looks pretty good where it used to be shabby. The biggest thing though was that the greens are in super good shape. They used to be pretty patchy but now they're trimmed short, and roll real nice. And they're green!! Generally looks like they got the sprinklers turned on and are giving a regular dose of fertilizer.

My favorite thing about this course though is the layout. Its fairly tight with large mature trees, tons of water hazards and swamps, tall fescue etc etc. A lot of fun for the guy who enjoys working the ball, side to side low high in order to stay in the fairway.

Whispering Pines demands accuracy on tight wooded fairways on a shorter, more challenging front nine that opens up a bit more on the back nine. The greens were generally smaller in size and in very good condition, receptive to shots while maintaining good putting speed. The previous reviews on cart paths being in somewhat tough shape and difficult to navigate are somewhat accurate but that doesn't impact playability, and directions to hole locations are now clearly marked. Definitely a course I would refer to a friend and play again.

It is definitely getting better then a few years ago. Fairways are great, greens are fast and challenging. T boxes could use a daily cleaning of debris. A better container for broken tees maybe.

I've been playing this course for 20+ years and it is still my favorite course in the Wright County area. Greens are well maintained, and there is enough challenging holes for any golfer. Rates are low and this is the best value course in the area. Give Whispering Pines a try!

I have beento the course 3 times, and I havehad an amazing time on thecourse. It is a fun course that is well kept. Each time I have gone the same person has helped and he is great. He is a great clubhousemanager and if he isn't the manager he should be. I have gone back thelast time because of how he treated us. The employees nameis Tim, by far the best experience at a course I have had in all my years. He gave us hints on how to play the course, great gentleman. THANKS for making me believe in customer service again

Very nicely layed out course with plenty of elevation change, contours, and slope to fairways and greens...and plenty of trees as well. Be aware that range balls are A mishmash of different types/quality, with cracked and split balls in the mix, but still good for warmup and entertainment (double breaking ball flight!).

The course is in amazing shape. The staff is extremely helpful. Has a great mix of easy and challenging holes. It is good for all players and types of golfers. Great prices and twilight starts at 2pm. Highly recommend playing this course

I have golf this course 2 to 3 times per year over the last 15 years. I can say it is in the best codition ever!

Fun course, fun layout, good rates so great value for the money.

I used to golf this course many years ago but the past owner let the course go. It is now under new ownership and I must say that they have brought this course back to its old condition. With the addition of the new cart paths, the greens I would up up against any course in the state. Had a chance to meet the new owner and was telling me his plans for the course and the new improvements coming.
