Country Club of Whispering Pines - River Course

This was the first time I had played whispering pines. We played the pines course and the layout and course conditions were fantastic. Greens were really smooth but soft and slow. I would definitely recommend!!!

The River Course at C.C. of Whispering Pines is tighter and requires more precise shotmaking than the Pines course. It was in good condition, and has several very scenic holes.

Golf course was nice but staff personnel very short and not accommodating. Would pick other golf courses before returning back here.

I played the Pines Course because the River course was very soggy, with standing water.
I enjoyed the Pines - a pretty course, not overly challenging as the fairways are generously wide. A couple of the par 5s are very challenging.
The only criticism I have is with the greens: they were slow and bumpy (perhaps due to the rain), and did not do the rest of the course justice.

Very easy to get settled in , David in the pro shop was top notch !!! David was the most inviting pro shop person I've ever met !!!

Had to change the day I was supposed to play and thought I would have to "eat" the green fee. Called Paula in the pro shop and she gladly changed my time to the following day and when I arrived early, she let me start 1:15 minutes prior to my scheduled time. Now, that's service!!! The course in in great shape and challenging, yet fair, even for a 15 handicapper. What a peaceful setting for an afternoon of golf.

Be sure to stop in the bar/restaurant & ask Lacy to show you some bar tricks.

Highly recommend this course for friendly service, playabililty and value for $$$ spent.

We really enjoyed the course. We got a great deal, plus the course was in excellent shape. We will continue to use golfnow.com and go back to W. Pines.

As the proprietor of a B&B, I often send my guests to CCWP because of the good course conditions. The fact that there are two courses allows golfers to pay a small fare for a replay on the other course.

Played the west(river) course this time. Its March and been very cold butthey over seed during the winter so the ffairways are green and taken care of. Greens were lightening but rolled very true. The river course has water on about every hole on the back nine so be prepared. This is challending but not super long (blues about 6500) but its great because you can see whats in front of you and no blind shots. Will be back every year.

The west-rivef course has a lot of water but very fun and challenging to play. Great place and with the golf now prices you won't play a better valued course in the area. Will be back every year.

The River Course (formerly the West) will remind you of the courses in the foothills of North Carolina. Though it plays much shorter 6521 from the back tees to 4653 to the senior ladies tees, the River Course demands more accuracy than distance. "Shot making" skills are necessary to navigate the terrain. With the elevation changes, towering oak trees that line the fairways and trees overhanging the small greens and less playable rough make tee shots a premium. Tranquil lakes and streams meander through most of the back nine. The legendary Ellis Maples, a Donald Ross prodigy, designed both courses with the ability and talent to create multiple themes on one property.
