Whispering Pines Golf Club COURSE Review

The Whispering Pines golf course is a world class golf sanctuary and the leading light in the Lone Star state for over ten years, being situated on an ideal piece of property just north of Houston. The course is built basically inside a pine forest, which was transformed afterwards in a sanctuary golf club, featuring 7470 yards from its longest tees and its designed by golf architect Chet Williams under the close supervision of Corby Robertson, who actually created the layout. The Whispering Pines is built over four hundred acres of forest, with some trees cleared for strategic reasons, thus opening corridors which made for makeshift golf-holes.

Needless to say that the Whispering Pines is a top ranked golfing facility in Texas and currently it includes a shorter-9 hole course. Just like its big brother, the Needler(the smaller one) is lots of fun to play, yet it makes for a stern test for golfers of all abilities. Since its initial opening in the year 2000, the Whispering Pines was a true joy for the locals (golf aficionados), due to its exquisite location along the northern shores of Lake Livingston and its beautiful views over the piney woods of North Texas. The main course was very well received by golf experts and amateurs alike, not to mention prestigious golf magazines, the likes of Golf Digest, who ranked this baby as the 3rd Best New Private Course in America and eleventh in Americas 50 Greatest Golf Retreats. Together with Golf Digest, Links Magazine, Golf Magazine and Golfweek currently rank the Whispering Pines in their top 100 Golf Courses in the US.
