Up North Vibe

Nice layout, cool "up north" look/feel.

Signage on course could be better. Try not to get lost finding 14 tee box!

Overall, well worth it.

Course has gone down hill! NO DIRECTIONALITY!!!

Having golfed this course a few times, I decided to take my sister for a fun day of golf using a decent rate from GOLFNOW. Let me tell you....this course was a mess! The fairways were horrendous, the women's tee boxes were in terrible condition, clover was everywhere and worst of all, the directionality of this course is the absolute worst I have ever seen. You have no idea on some holes which way to go. I've never experienced anything like it. At one point, we had to call the clubhouse because we had no idea where the green was on hole 5! Add to that, we actually got lost and ended up behind a foursome that had allowed us to play through two holes prior. They laughed and indicated that they, too, had gotten lost and said that it was the worst. We passed (yet) another guy who had gotten lost. Beyond the conditions of the course, they could at least add a few arrows or signs (with the hole numbers) indicating which way to go. Unfortunately I have purchased a few more passes for this course and will likely let them expire.

Needs help

We've been playing here for years. It is one of my favorites. I was so sad today to see how bad the course looked. Tee boxes dried out and undeveloped. Greens slow, fairways dry and dead. First few holes really bad. Then it got a little better. Please someone help this course.

Terrible conditions

I have played at Whispering since they originally opened. I usually enjoy the course and like the layout. On the whole, It is in the worst shape I have ever seen. Greens are ok, but slow. Understandable with the heat and dry conditions. Some fairways are fried, weeds all over the tee boxes and rough, and people driving off cart paths have created massive dirt patches around greens, tees and other areas. $40 is about $35 too much. Sad to say I won’t be back.

Nice layout terrible shape!

Course was in terrible shape. Tees not level. Fairways were spotted grass not cut. Greens were not cut and slow. Don't understand how this a featured course. Feel like I was ripped off paying $64 for this course. Deserve some type of refund or credit for playing this course,

Nice staff

This course was a bit tight for my play, but wasn't too bad. What was bad was the lack of grooming. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a toro s mast cutting a golf course, always special mowers built for golf courses. The rough was super high. The greens were over grown or covered with debris. Too many rocks in the sand traps. It took a while to get a trash can or bathroom. Both carts we had sounded pretty rough, mechanically. But the price made up for it I suppose

The staff was exceptional!

Challenging

Seemed to be mowing every hole and maintenance on sprinklers maybe? Keep in fairways and its great veer into rough and you will pay for it. Personally this course kicks my butt....... But i love it and will be back. Little bit of everything and at $25 normal or hot deal for $12 i feel its worth it. Cart paths are sketchy in spots but im not there to drive around so who cares.

Needs ALOT of attention

Where to start. Golfed here last year with hopes the pandemic would be over and they would be able to spend some money getting what could be a nice facility and course in a beautiful subdivision up to par.

Clubhouse: needs alot of updating from simple exterior peeling paint to landscaping to inside. Pro shop lacks selection and e-payment system seemed to be malfunctioning (according to employee). Grill was only serving hot dogs (apparently the chef starts at 4pm only before June).

Course: cart paths are a disaster throughout the entire course, need to be tore up and redone. Hole marking is lacking and confusing (especially 13 to 14). Be prepared to walk ALOT if you do not get a cart. Course is lacking maintenence and was overgrown from roughs to greens.

Carts: outdated and in need of maintenence.

A shame they have let it go. Could be a nice course as it is challenging in its design for the average to above average golfer.
