Getting better every week

One of Myrtle Beach's best kept secret. I have played this course several times over the last 2 months & it just keeps better each. Tee Boxes, Fairways are in excellent shape. This staff is extremely friendly from the Bag, Drop, Starters area right the Pro Shop & Grill. Good bang for your buck!!!!

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.

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.

Great course

We have played this course before and will not hesitate to come back. Great course for the value. Greens are a little tricky, but this time of year we found the cups cut into the green could have been better cut as we had a lot of puts that lipped out due to elevated edges. Will definitely return as while it is challenging, it's also a very friendly course to play. Staff is also amazing!! A++
