Get there early and putt!
Nice course. Does have that "up north" feel that all Michigan golfers talk about. Tough first time out as there are some blind shots and tight ob with houses close. The greens were great but tough to get a read on. If you downhill and with the grain, just breathe on it, and its gone. Got there late, so didn't really putt before. All in all, nice track, not too deep from the tips. Would play again. Likely more fun the second time as you'd have an idea
Short, but Demanding Target Golf
While not very long on the scorecard, the difficulty of this course comes from the incredibly narrow holes and uneven lies. This course demands VERY straight, VERY accurate tee shots, otherwise you'll be deep in the woods and swamps all day. I've found the course is much more playable if I leave my driver in the trunk -- many holes require an iron off the tee. The course is pretty and well maintained, but it's extremely tight with no bailout areas. This could easily be an above-average course if they removed some trees and thinned the undergrowth. Bring bug spray.
Good value
Nicer and cheaper than other courses around. Nice mix of elevation change and scenery.
Beautiful setting and fun to play.
The course and greens are always in great condition. Rolling hills with a lot of beautiful pines. Very nice setting makes you feel like your are playing up north Michigan. Very good staff and allows me and my son to play only as a twosome.
Fun day golfing
Greens were challenging, fairways sloped a very beautiful day.
Blind tee shots, had to drive up to see if anyone was over the hills. First time to the course can't wait to try it again.

Had a good time
Was a wet,windy,cold day. Not to many people playing under those conditions. I thought the course was a very interesting play, and will go back on a nicer day.
This course has many challenging holes to enjoy
The course was in great shape and the greens were fantastic and true to the slope. Wonderful Time!!
Challenging, yet fun course
Course was well maintained for this early in the season. Lots of natural hazards to keep things interesting. Super friendly staff who are eager to please.
Worth It
Whispering Pines is a very nice course - just one or two gimmicky holes - otherwise, upscale and at the golfnow price I booked my round - it was an excellent value.
