Course was in good condition, great value

Whispering Pines is close to where we stay while in Myrtle Beach, so I decided to give the course a shot. It was HOT(over 90*) at 1:15 when I teed off and I only ran into one other group during my round. I got around in just over 2.5 hours. Despite the high temps, I found the course in good shape. The layout is not overly long, so the course challenges you with small greens. The greens were rolling quite fast. I loved the red, white, and blue pin placement system they use there. More courses should do something similar.

I didn't find the proximity to the airport to be an issue. If you're the type of golfer who is easily distracted by the helicopters buzzing by, maybe look elsewhere. There are no houses on the course, which is not typical for many Myrtle Beach courses.

I enjoyed my round at Whispering Pines and I would certainly play there again.

Whispering Pines not so friendly southern course.

Booked a round through golf now. Pro shop staff treats non South Carolinians with a negative attitude. Bag fro/starter was friendly. Course was in nice shape

slow play; clubhouse closed at rounds end

1:40 tee off, but delayed start.....finished around 7:00 pm with many groups still on the course, but clubhouse facilities including restrooms were closed at conclusion of round. Which was weird.

Good experience overall

Staff was very friendly. Slow pace of play throughout the round. Small greens with lots of water. Challenging course.

No one knows what’s going on

Start told us to wait he added a fourth then he said to hang on because they were going to add a fifth then he told us forget about it go ahead we got down to the first Fairway He came down and said you got a speed up because you’re holding up everybody Then he came back after the second hole and took the fourth out and paid them with somebody else which made us even later it’s not a bad course if you’re flying out there and go right to the airport other than that no thanks

Good value

I enjoyed playing this course. Nothing particularly spectacular but a good value for Myrtle Beach these days and the course was in good shape, other than the bunkers which were hard packed. Some very interesting holes to challenge your shotmaking ability.

Excellent course for the price

Thoroughly enjoy playing this course. Since we are from Canada, we only get to Myrtle Beach once a year and always book at least one round of golf at Whispering Pines. Staff are fantastic and course layout is great. Looking forward to our next round of golf at Whispering Pines.

Course was in good shape for time of year. Squirrels are a pain as they kept getting in the carts and stealing stuff. Airforce kept taking off and was exciting to watch. F16 or F22's not sure.
