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.
Golfing in Michigan in December
The staff esp. Rich or Rick ? Was great. My friend left his range finder and He helped Him retrieve it the following day. You can’t say anything about the conditions, we were golfing in December in Michigan :). It was the first time I tried to push my Tee through the morning frost ha but I loved every minute of it. There’s a few holes that are kinda Mickey Mouse but overall great people and experience in my opinion. Will be back in the spring I can’t wait to see that place all grown in the spring I bet it’s beautiful.
Impressed
Had played this course multiple times over the years and really enjoyed the layout. A few years ago, It seemed that lack of maintenance had taken a toll on the greens and tee boxes. Yesterday I was really impressed with how pure / clean the greens rolled , keep in mind it’s currently Dec. The staff has always been great !!! I would recommend this course for any skill level.
Good condition
This course was better than what I expected. The course was a little short but the condition was good. If you hesitate to go there, I recommend you to get it.
Difficult
Condition of the course wasnt the best. Tee boxes were tore up, didn't look like they have been rotated at all. Bunkers were also in rough shape, doesn't appear that anyone has taken after them all year. Fairways and greens we not too bad.
A lot of holes require a layup off the tee. A medium/long iron or 5 wood. Requires a straight shot off the tee box a lot of the time or you are OB.
Would golf it again, but it's about $10-15 over priced imo.
