The
property that is The Country Club of
Whispering Pines has a unique
feature…diversity. The East course and its’
length combined with the subtle terrain
changes, gives “Golf Courses of The
Sandhills” another gem in their arsenal of
great designs. The East course will make you
hit every club in your bag, and if you wish
to try it from the back tees, its impressive
length has not been affected even by the new
equipment changes.
On the
other hand, the West Course will remind you
of a “northeastern country club” with the
elevation changes, towering oak tress that
line the fairways and overhanging greens.
Tranquil lakes and streams meander and frame
most of the back nine. The West is not as
demanding as the East, but requires some
“shot making” in order for a golfer to brag
upon completion. Smaller greens and less
playable rough make tee shots a premium. The
legendary Ellis Maples, a Donald Ross
prodigy, designed both courses but had the
ability and talent to create multiple themes
on one property. |
