Whispering Pines Return
Hadn't played this course in two years. Found it in excellent condition, greens, fairways, bunkers, etc. Have always enjoyed playing this course & the pro shop attendant very courteous & helpful. He put us out on the back nine first in order to enable us to play unimpeded. Worked out great as our twosome played 18 holes in around 3 hrs.
This course was nice, long and hilly
Beautiful day, beautiful course and a whole lot of fun. We will definitely come back!
Nice Course Beaten Up a Bit
I like Whispering Pines and always look forward to playing the course. I like the variety of holes and they are all fair but challenging. I really like the different length par 3s ranging from about 135 to 185. Normally the course is in really good shape. Unfortunately it was not the case July 29th. I can live with tees being kind of sparse and beaten up but for the first time the greens were not in good shape. It was like there had been a couple of large outings on the course and nothing had been done to the greens since. There were a lot of ball marks, the area around the holes was really worn and scuffed and the edges of the holed were really chewed up. That said it will not deter me from playing W.P. again and often. I fully expect the course will be back to its normally good condition the next time we play there.
Great course
Course was challenging yet fair. Some short holes where you must play to a certain yardage on tee shots. Greens and fairways were in excellent condition.
Over 50 rate 20 bucks weekday
What a value if you’re over 50 this course is only $20 with a cart for 18 holes
Great pace of play
We played a three some great pace of play They had morning league but afternoon empty
Not easy course to play
Course is not fun to play. Layups require on drives. Difficult to keep ball in play. Not in best condition
Not the worst, Not the best
Driving up to the clubhouse visually speaking, I’m thinking I’m playing at a choice course here. As we got into our round we notice that the Tbox and fairways weren’t maintained as well as the greens, little disappointed with that. Before we started our round I purchased two dozen golf balls at the clubhouse and at the turn I decided I didn’t need them, the staff was very accommodating and refunded my money without any hesitation. The food could have been much better, hotdogs tasted like they were leftovers from last season. Overall I’d rate this course 3 stars out of 5 but the service was nothing but exceptional.
Great early golf conditions!
Course lloks good. Clean and welcoming clubhouse. General manager friendly and helpful.
nice course
Great greens, fast and tricky, fairways are nice, tees are in good shape. Tough course, very hilly with some tough lies, some blind shots.
Always Good
Always like playing Whispering Pines. Enjoy the variety of holes. Course is always in good condition. 9th hole is tough uphill par 3. Definitely add 1 and maybe 2 clubs. 12th hole has water completely across fairway about 110 yards from green. 16th hole tee shot is blind over hill. Stay a little right.
Bad day on a good course
As usual, the course was in great shape and the staff was friendly. Unfortunately, there was an outing ahead of us. The round took 5 3/4 hours. If that wasn't bad enough, the group in front of us had loud music playing in their cart. They had no consideration for those around them even when their carts were parked near our green. They knew we were putting but didn't care. Would have been nice if they had an assistant driving around the course to monitor things. Nice course but the day was spoiled by some inconsiderate golfers and a lack of management by Whispering Pines.
Great Value
Almost hate to write a review because more people might come out and play. The course was in great shape with an "up north " feel. Fairways and greens were well manicured and the overall property is a beauty. There are 4 sets of tees and two of us played from the tips which can be challenging. The red tees chop off much of the trouble but still a nice test. There are some tricky holes and blind approaches so take the cart and look ahead if you're out for the first time. It will definitely save some strokes. Also , stay on the fairway - not much forgiveness. Highly recommended for a fun round.
