Whispering Pines Golf Club

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.

This golf course has improved tremendiously under new ownership.. The grass is green and well fertlized and well watered. The sand bunkers are much improved and actually have sand in them. Best of all the cart paths have crushed granite in lieu of clay and are smooth. The new owner has done a great job. Staff also is very friendly. Grounds crew does a nice job. Great course for the price paid.
