The Woods

Great course with a lot of up hill down hill and some blind shots. There have been some improvements made over the last couple of years. Worth the time to check it out.

Played here many times

Through the years and I don't get tired of it. The rolling layout and hole shapes ensure no two holes play the same. Severe slopes on the first four greens test your pace control as do several other greens. Conditions were pretty good considering the recent heat wave although a few greens were showing signs of stress, but still very playable. For golf in this area this is a good value.

GN does not rate the courses, paying/playing guests give their opinion. Hope to see you soon.

Course is in better overall condition than normal but the greens were a bit slow, but still good. Several trees have been cut down since last time most notably the large pine on the right side of #5 which framed the tee shot perfectly with the smaller ones on the left.

Whispering Woods- Needs work

Tee boxes had not been mowed. Greens were in poor/fair shape.

Course layout was not bad and had some challenging holes, but for the area, they need to keep it in better shape.
