Over thirty years ago, Ellis Maples, inspired by a picturesque, rolling track of land in the Pinehurst NC area, carved out another challenge for golfers in the Sandhills. His work, the Whispering Woods Golf Club, stands as a credit to him and a pleasure for many. Dan Maples, son of Ellis and renowned golf course architect in his own right, described Whispering Woods this way:
“It is a golf course designed with the average player in mind, but good players won’t find a pushover. The well-groomed condition of the course enhances the design and complements the roll of the land. Golfers experience left to right, short shots, long shots, uphill and downhill holes.”
Whispering Woods underwent a major renovation in 2013, with the installation of 18 brand new Champion Bermuda Ultradwarf greens. Come visit the Friendliest Course in the Sandhills today.
The back tees offer a rating of 70.8, a slope of 134, and stretches out to 6,324 yards in length. Take advantage of several different tee boxes offered for golfers of every type.
