Great course and Great Value
Love this course. Very challenging!! The staff are very friendly.
Fun round, enjoyed my time
Played on a Sunday afternoon. Was a bit warm but otherwise pleasant. Pace of play moved along. Played 14 holes in 2 hours (was playing solo), then ran into a foursome who had no concept of ready golf. Played last 4 holes in a bit over an hour.
Course is in reasonable shape. Greens ran true and were consistent in speed. Fairways were in decent condition. A few soggy spots, but the area has had a lot of rain of late.
My only complaints. 1) Tee boxes on the par threes are just beat up. Not a lot of grass or flat space. 2) I think they invested in poison ivy :) It lines so much of the wooded areas.
Staff were pleasant, carts were clean and had no issues. Local knowledge of the course is helpful as there are several holes where target golf is a must. Will definitely continue to play here.
Slow play.
Very slow play. Layout is just kind of weird. Definitely tough to know what to do first time out. Seemed understaffed.
Not a fan
My take is that the course management really wants this to be a private club, but can’t make it happen. It’s a tough course made harder by fairways left long, some fast greens, some slow greens, etc….all to keep the high-handicap riffraff away. Some other players on the course amplified this sentiment.
Message received loud and clear…they won’t have to worry about me coming back.
Not my favorite course
Poor design. Blind shots on many holes makes it a danger to other golfers.
Great course
Fun track keeps you on your toes
Great staff (Aaron) great customer service .
Hidden gem
Course is in good shape. Course features some narrow fairways, elevation changes, blind shots, tough pin placements. Staff is very friendly. Cart paths and the carts can be a little rough but otherwise, really enjoyed playing here and highly recommend it.
Nice little hidden course
Nice course, friendly staff. For some reason Apple Maps took me to a nearby subdivision so be mindful of that. Course was in decent shape but some of the rough Haden been maintained. Many of the parent sidewalks were in bad shape and desperately need repair. But for 30$ on a hot deal I can’t complain.
Whispering Pines at first blush
I played the first time on Mother's day and the course was fairly empty of players, so I played the round alone. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The first thing I noticed is how hilly the course was. There is rarely a shot where you aren't hitting up or down or having to play the ball above or below your feet. It's not a long course from the white tees, so I thought it probably was going to be an easy practice round for me. Boy, was I wrong! Many tee shots are blind over hills and there are almost no flat lies anywhere which makes shot placement critical. Some of the fairways have such side slope that you must hit on the highest point or risk having the ball roll off the lower side into the rough. A few fairways get real tight tight where your drive comes down, so accuracy is a must. The greens were in great shape and like everything else, you'll find a lot of slope there too. It's a pretty course to play as well as being very reasonably priced. If you feel confident in your game you will have fun here.

Pro shop has a huge selection of balls, clothing, hats, and gloves. Not much for food. I believe they only had hot dogs, but a great adult drink selection. Course was in great shape. Greens were top notch
Not a cloud in the sky !
Was happy to see Y'all blew the leaves aside !
This course makes you shoot more tactically ! Lots of fun and not easy at all - I enjoy it more each time I play here - I’ll be back ~
Michigan Feb Golf :)
You are golfing outside in MI in FEB w a cart. So happy they opened ! Sun was shining and warm : ) for the time of Year the greens were awesome better than some courses in the summer. I would volunteer to blow the leaves BC you lose balls and you want to keep pace up so you keep rolling BUT You know you didn’t lose your ball - just buried under one leaf perfectly hidden. That’d be my only wish if I had to wish something - otherwise super nice people employ the place and it was a zero stress kinda day and fun for everyone there.
