A great course with an up north feel.

We had an excellent round. The course was laid out nicely and was in great shape. The changes in elevation and tightness of the tree lined fairways gave us an up north fell to our round. The pace of play was great, no waiting for groups ahead of us, and no one pushing us from behind. The staff was friendly and helpful. we will definitely play there again.

Great layout fast greens

Had a great round today at Whispering Pines the greens were super smooth and the fairways were tight and narrow. Maintenance of the course was amazing for being a small lower budget course. Definitely worth the money if you’ve never played. Really scenic views and a great price.

Could be a nice course

Cart paths are in terrible shape. Tee boxes are mostly divets and weeds. Some greens were covered in goose crap. Biting flies everywhere. It's almost as if there is no course/grounds maintenance except grass cutting on the fairways and greens.

Again I find myself wondering how you rate this course so high. I this case you get what you pay for and cheap golf is more important to some the real quality. Maybe this rating is based on your comparison to other tracks that are worse but hard to imagine there is worse out there.

Fairways are great and the greens are super fast

Fairways look great and the greens are super fast . If your looking for a tough place to golf for a reasonable price this is the place to be . My score is always higher here but today I had a drink and a dog at the turn . Had a fantastic day and walked away extremely humble. Nice place to golf if your up for the challenge.

Whispering Pines

I live in Monroe and my golf partner lives in Canton, but we drive out to Pinckney because Whispering Pines has the best value.

Greens-They were cut and rolled with the perfect amount of speed. The slope on a few holes can be tricky, but it’s NOT carnival putt putt, it’s just challenging.

Fairways- Also cut tight so you get a reasonable run out on your drives, unlike half the courses in Michigan where you hit a drive and find your pitch mark in the fairway because the fairway grass is longer than intermediate rough.

Rough- The rough was only long in some areas around the green, but the length was consistent.

Bunkers- I can’t truly comment on the bunkers because I haven’t been in them yet.

My only two constructive criticisms I have are with the cart paths and tee boxes.

Cart Paths- on a scale of 1-10....... ( 2 )

Between the carts being gas powered and poorly maintained and the asphalt being bumpy, uneven, with roots coming out of every path, it makes for a very uneasy ride. I like to treat the course with integrity and respect, therefore I don’t ride within 50 yards of tee boxes and greens, but I will start to ride in the fairway just to avoid the path.

Tee Boxes- Scale 1-10...........( 3 )

The tee boxes honestly don’t need a lot of attention, but if they were maintained like the fairways and greens are, they would get two thumbs up. In my opinion, all the tee boxes need is to be leveled. Every box is sloping forward or slanted. The fairways here have enough undulation, the tee box is the one place that doesn’t need more slopes.

Overall a fun, well maintained course for the value. I will continue to come back because the greens, fairways and playability.

Great Value

Course is in good shape with a challenging layout.

Probably the best value around with a cart included.

Call the club house first before booking

I ended up over paying by choosing to book on golfnow instead of calling the club house. So cal the club house first bc it’ll save you money great course one of my favorite hidden gems.
