Diamond in the Rough

Played this gem over the past few years, since going into new ownership, the improvements have been significant! Kudos to the Maintenance Supervisor! The course was not only fun to play, and in great condition, the staff was extremely friendly, and the rate was exceptional! If you have not played here lately, you will not be disappointed!

Worth a Visit

Enjoyed my first round at Whispering Woods. A beautiful course with challenging, yet playable holes it is one of the gems of the Pinehurst area. Only downside was that our foursome was constantly pushed by smaller groups that we let play through. Course maintenance was odd in some areas where sod was just laid on top of the existing turf though that did not impact play. A course worth putting on your to-play list in Central NC.

Hot Golf

Course was is really good shape! Best shape in the last year. I try to play here each time I visit. They continue to improve this course everytime we play. Staff is so friendly and let us tee off early since we arrived early. No waiting..there was a group a few holes ahead and behind us...this was great as it was so hot(95) and we kept moving. Finished 18 in j under 3 1/2 hours.

Awesome course

Played course 2 years ago and vast improvements were made since then. Every hole is an experience and you need to pay attention on when to use your driver. The greens are exceptionally fast which will cost you strokes. One hole on back nine had a green side bunker covered in weeds. Not certain why but it should be filled in or removed. We enjoyed the layout and we will be back again. Staff very friendly including those in the bar.
