    This would have been nice to know prior to going out there as one member in our group has limited mobility. I love the layout of this course, greens were in very nice shape, tee boxes superb, but the fairways are in lousy shape, so why cart path only? It's not worth $100.00

    Nice course! Played today and the course conditions were superb, greens were true and fast. One of the best conditioned courses I have played this year. I haven't played this course much (hard to get tee times) but I enjoy the layout and the course is in fantastic shape. The only negative is they are building houses on some of the holes so hopefully they don't encroach on the course and ruin this gem!

    One of my favorites in the area.
    Greens are in great shape, fairways & tee boxes are in good shape. Played in terrible conditions (wind & cold) but still enjoyed this outing, tough fair test of golf. My only gripe, the clubhouse sandwich is not very good and they didn't have any balls out to hit prior to our round.

    Having been a member at Whispering Pines now for four years I have a pretty good idea how this course plays and what kind of condition it is in.

    Although this course has a really great layout the playing conditions of Whispering Pines are somewhat questionable. The fairways need to be redisigned completely, new turf needs to be installed.

    The owners of this course should have a serious look at the tee boxes as well, since most of them need to be redone. There is not enough watering on this course which can make it play like an airport runway. Don't expect any extra value here as well. Although there are yardage markers from the fairways (not always accurate) overall this course is not marked very well at all. That could be caused by the constant construction that goes on. My gut feeling is that the owners care much more about their land development currently going than improving their golf course. Too bad they haven't realized that a championship golf course that is maintained well (see Sundre Golf Club or Wolf Creek GC) will attract recreation property buyers.

    If there was one positive thing about Whispering Pines is that most of the greens are very playable, I'd say even comparable to some semi-private courses around the area. Combine that with a $1 per hole cost from Monday to Thursday will make Whispering Pines a fairly enjoyable outing for juniors and families. The weekend cost though, in my opinion is too high compared to courses of this calibre.

    Overall, I'd rate this course as a 4 out of 10. I've seen another rating system that said this was a 2.5 and "play only as a last resort". I'd say that's a bit harsh and will stick with a 4 / 10, especially since I'm a member and need to justify my costs somehow.

    Way over priced. Course is okay but not for the price. Management is out of touch with customers which shows in treatment of golfers, price, course readiness, service, etc.

    first time on this course and won't be the last.

    only thing is price. With tough times these types of courses better drop their price. simple marketing says it is better to have more people on the course at a cheaper rate than only us 4 out there at full fair.

    not kidding, maybe only 3-4 foursomes on the whole course.

    great clubhouse. good food. tough links course but not if you hit the fairway ;)

    Greens 3.5/5
    fairways 4/5
    sand 4/5
    price 3.5/5

    Played on 2008-10-06 @ SPRING CREEK GOLF COURSE located in Bon Accord, AB, Canada

    Great course to hone your skills. Challenging 18 holes, lots of hills, small greens. Awesome burgers, great prices.

    Played on 2008-08-13 @ PINE RIDGE GOLF COURSE located in Seba Beach, AB, Canada

    Course was in good shape, very lush for the dry spell in weather. Friendly clubhouse person. Greens are a little small, but it made it more challenging. Great burger in the clubhouse.

    Played on 2008-04-06 @ SPITZEE/HERITAGE COURSE AT HIGHWOOD GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB located in High river, AB, Canada

    Challenging run, but not a killer for the everyday golfer. Greens are true, and quick enough to keep you on your toes. Highwood River and several water hazards keep you honest on the Heritage Course. Staff is attentive and helpful. Enjoyable visit and worth the drive.
