Overall, great shape
Greens are rolling so sweet and overall rest of course was in really good condition. Bunkers were a bit inconsistent, some were firm/crusty and others super soft.
3.5 Course
I would not give 4 stars for this course.
I played Pine course and it was somewhat fairly easy.
I give this course 3.5 stars but not more than 4.
Not too bad course.
Great time
Would recommend this course to anyone that's going to NC to play golf.
Expected more
On our first visit to the Pinehurst area, we played both courses on the same day. Our group of 10 golfers enjoyed the courses but it was not up to the standards we had in mine when we planned our trip to Pinehurst. There was nothing unique that made the courses stand out. Course conditions were fine, greens were in good shape. But nothing screamed "Pinehurst" and wow.
Whispering Pines visit
Greens were very good, rolled great, had a few elevation changes on holes with sloping greens. Fairways still dormant, as with some of the rough but all in all would come back and still need to play the river course, only played the pines.
Green tee boxes, fairways, and greens!!!
This was my first time playing in the Pinehurst area, and I was very impressed with this golf course. I played on 2/5/16 and it had just rained the previous 2 days, so I wasn't sure if any of the golf courses would be playable. I didn't run into any standing water in the fairways, just in 1 sand trap which wasn't a big deal.The tee boxes, fairways, and greens were in great shape and they do over seed this course in the winter time which not all courses do. There are 2 courses here and they had us all play the pines course that morning since the river course was just recently aerated. If you don't keep your ball in the fairway, you will pay! The one thing I didn't like about this course was after you finish the front 9 you are nowhere near the pro shop. There isn't much for snacks there anyway so make sure you bring your own food and drinks. Other than that, staff was friendly and overall a good experience.
Course in great shape even with all the rain
The course was in excellent shape as dry as could be considering all the rain that has fallen. Greens rolling good over seeded fairways and tee boxes in great shape.
etiquette
Over all the courses in good shape, The greens were real good the fairways were a little hairy. Got stuck behind a foursome of members on hole 13 and it took me longer to play the last five holes as it did the first 12. They wouldn't let a single player go through. The lady at the pro shop asked me how my round was and I explained to her what happened and it was like "oh well".
Dogleg City
This course is challenging if you can't play a fade.
While some holes are fairly straight, the majority have some type of dogleg to them. Shaping your flight is necessary! Otherwise, very good course.
Bob McLean
Great course on a beautiful day. Very helpful and friendly staff. Very enjoyable round of golf. You can challenge yourself if you play all the back. We will be back again and again.
Nice Course - Great Challenge
Played 7/14/15 and here it is:
Driving Range Turf Beat Up.
No snack bar, just coffee and drinks
Average Pro Shop
Staff was very nice
Course was nice
Greens Slow and Mushy due to heavy rain this time of year.
You'll use all clubs in your bag
Course from U.S 1 was off the beaten path
Great design
The course designer, Ellis Maples, is great. He makes you think you way around the course in a very enjoyable way. It was a joy to play.
nice place
Really liked this layout. Fun to play. Greens were punched a few days before so I can't comment on that. Tightened up some on the back. 10 and 11 played difficult for me so eat something and hydrate. All and all a very nice day.
Worth the drive
Going in knew the greens were recently aerated but....still better than playing the courses in the triad that are all affected by winter kill. I'd rather play great conditions throughout and aerated greens instead of horrible tee boxes and fairways and just decent greens that is the norm with courses in the triad.
Great day , on a wonderful course.
This is a very nice course , in great. shape. Greens were fast and smooth. Lots of grass on tee boxes and fairways. It is challenging, but not overwhelming. Overall, a good time. Will come back for sure.
Pleasantly Surprised
Played Whispering Pines late in the afternoon after playing Southern Pines for the first time earlier in the day. Much more impressed with Whispering Pines!
Conditions were excellent from tee to green. Course layout wasn't overly challenging but long enough and tight enough in spots to make you golf your ball. Greens were large and fairly flat, rolled very true probably about 10.
Gentleman in golf shop wasn't overly friendly or informative, oh well!!! For me it's more about the course then the service.
Overall loved the experience and can't wait to get back down and play the other course.
