Good military course

We four enjoyed our round at Whispering Firs, on McChord AFB, and will return. The course is a fair test. Two of our foursome are beginners, and they were quite satisfied. The greens are not first rate (4 stars), but we figured it out. The GN instructions for entering the base are vague. One needs to stop FIRST in the visitor center to get a pass. That requires either an enhanced DL, or a passport. You also need car registration and the insurance card. The GN form is useful. It takes some time, but once the pass is secured, drive to the sentry gate and show the pass. Follow the road around to the right to reach the golf course. It will be nicer when covid goes away and the restaurant opens.

It would be advantageous for you to call the Pro Shop first to find out about the logistics you would need to know about. Also, it may be cheaper for you to call the course to make a tee time. Call to inquire about the difference in costs.

PGA quality

This course hosted the Grand Slam of Golf for several years, and it is a lot of fun to walk the same fairways as Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Vijay Singh, Greg Norman, Jim Furyk, Mike Weir, and others. It's even more fun to go into the locker room and see their plaques. The course itself is not long, but most holes require some tactical thought to score well. Course maintenance is wonderful. The staff is overly friendly, and the golf shop is probably the best-stocked golf shop I have been in.

Scenic challenge

From the nearby roads, this course appears almost simple. But, the challenging & interesting holes are in the back country, and they require some thought. The scenery is gorgeous, with long views of the area around Lihue. The value for the money is well above average.
