Whispering Lakes Golf Course originally opened in 1960 on Riverside Drive between Vineyard and Archibald Avenues. Over the years the old girl had lost a little of her luster. But as reported in the Daily Bulletin -- she’s back!
The course never shut down while staff members worked from a temporary trailer overseeing $1 million in improvements -- including a new clubhouse, golf carts, renovated landscape and new equipment – were finished. The results? The old girl is new and improved and awaiting your approval!
“The course is in good shape, with a nice definition between fairway and rough,” reports PGA Pro Gary Nichols. “The course layout is very traditional – wide-open layout with small greens by today’s course standards.” The course plays consistently throughout the year.
Now it’s a brand-new, old fashioned course!
You’ll love the layout tree-lined fairways on just about every hole. No homes bordering the holes. And its flat terrain makes for an easy walk if that’s your preference.
Medium-sized greens give you a fairly simple, straight-forward putting strategy, with no big breaks. This is the kind of course a lot of us grew up on before all the modern courses were built.
The 18-hole course features 6,706 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72. The course rating is 71.4, and it has a slope rating of 122. Watch out for the many doglegs on this course. Shot accuracy pays off big time!
