As a twosome, we had a wonderful round.
My partner and I had an exceptional day on the Whispering Oak course. After a few balls on the driving range, we were on the course. We were neither pushed from behind nor delayed from groups in front. We both would recommend this course to anyone.
huge, wide open fairways; greens in only "fair" condition
course was difficult to find, used temporary gate some 2+ miles from GPS gate; staff only marginally friendly; course itself was "okay" with wide open fairways, some water hazards, but greens were in only "fair" condition; a couple of really tough holes (400+ yard par 4s from whites), but manageable ... value at a deep discount, but I wouldn't pay their regular rate
Nice layout / Great Value
Overall, a great course to play in SWFL. Getting a great deal on Golfnow.com made it even better. Great practice facility as well (included in play).
Worth
Actually played old orange as whispering oaks was closed for maintenance The whole complex is really spread out. The course was cart path only because of super saturated conditions. We drove thru standing water between a couple of holes. Greens are large but putted true A fun experience. Do not believe the directions on golf now. We almost missed our tee time.
greens were good for this time of year
above average conditions for this part of southwest florida
good but difficult
Hard course especially the back nine. The greens are quick and undulating which makes the approach shot very important.good pace of play throughout.
Excellent condition
Excellent condition from the tee through the green. Very enjoyable course.
I was impressed
The Verandah complex has two 18 hole layouts and I played the Whispering Oak layout which had the Jack Nicklaus signature written all over, It has everything, water, waste bunkers and lots of sand traps. Although it was a difficult day to golf because of the strong wind, I still enjoyed it because the course was in great conditions.
I am planning to play it again before I head back to Toronto.

A very pleasant day
The course delivered what it promised. The fairways were forgiving and the greens were challenging. The staff explained what we needed to know although there was no staff (rangers of cart staff) on the course. An enjoyable experience.
This course is challenging and in great condition.
Played the forward tees. The fairways are wide and forgiving. It is the greens that create a challenge if not familiar with the course.
Whispering Oak - good but not great
Played Whispering Oak. No great hazards off tee. Greens slick but manageable. Would go back to play Old Orange but had a pleasant enough day out.
Great course, well maintained!
Very nice course, well maintained, moderately difficult, and friendly staff. I would play here again! P.s. the only reason I didn't give this course a 5 out of 5 is because the don't except cash anywhere on the premises.. Which I found odd.
Great course....fairly wide open but tough greens.
Would definitely play here again. Staff were great.
First visit and most likely last.
If you are a member of this club, the people in the pro shop including the course pro are very combative. Starter was good along with the cart guys. Could not leave quick enough after our round.
Great course but very difficult to navigate.
This course was a bear to navigate. There were no signs or directions to get from hole to hole and many times we had to turn around to get to the correct hole. Also at each hole there was no picture of the layout of the hole and it was not on the scorecards either. If you did not have a Garmin most shots were blind.
Nice course
Nice course, very well maintained. Challenging enough to keep it interesting. Would recommend.
Wide fairways with tough putting greens
One of the best courses in Southwest Fl. Whispering Oaks ranks right at the top.
great course
the course was in wonderful shape and I would play it again
Great course.
Great condition as usual, fun and challenging highly recommended.
