Solid Golf Test, Jan 08, 2005

reviewer: Chris from Schenectady, NY

Whispering pines is an easy course with the exception of a couple holes where mid to long iron tee shots will come into play. About half of the holes play less than 120 yards, so it's a good course for a beginner golfer to learn on and an eexperienced golfer to fine tune their short game.

Even a challenge for an experienced golfer, Jun 21, 2004

reviewer: Bob from Schenectady NY USA

I have been golfing for 10 years. This course is a great change of pace from the harder courses in the region. It offers a great chance to work on your short game off the tee and around the greens.

Good Course, Apr 09, 2004

reviewer: MD from Niskayuna

Wispering pines offers challenging greens and great practice for beginners. The longer sixth hole will challenge the beginners driving skills, and if the right hander is a slicer, the ball may end up in the water. A nice family casual atmosphere without the pressure that may be found on more expert courses. All in all a fun and somewhat challenging time!

Challenging course for beginners., Mar 11, 2004

reviewer: Michael Minch from Sloansville, New York

I've been playing golf for about 2 years now. Whispering pines is a great course for beginners like myself. The greens are challenging enough to hone your putting skills and the fairways are great practice for your short game. The price is also great for beginners who don't want to spend a whole load of cash, but need to get their short game in control.

Indian Springs Golf Club
"Indian Springs - Hidden Jewel"
This course is in a rural setting, with many farms around. Getting to it is a challenge, but once there, some pleasurable hours will be had. The course was well maintained, with good fairways and well manicured greens. There is almost an "upper level" and "lower level" for play and the elevation changes pretty dramatically for middle Illinois. There are plenty of water hazards, woods and places to make shots, so the course may be tough for new players. For shotmakers, it is a great skill test. The signature hole offers a scenic tee, overlooking two water hazards, gazing out into a woods and just barely able to see the dogleg right hole. Anything too far out or left or right goes out of play, and bunkers guard the green on the approach. The clubhouse has the essentials for refreshments, the price is moderate and the staff are friendly. I would recommend this course to anyone for an enjoyable outing and challenge.

Chickasaw Pointe Golf Resort
"Best Public Course in the Southwest"
This golf course is quite different from any state course, or other public course I have ever played. The staff treats you like royalty right when you arrive. The cart attendants load and unload your clubs at the door. The club pros are very courteous. The course is located on the shores of Lake Texhoma, the biggest lake in Texas or Oklahoma. The layout is amazing, with the lake bordering 15 holes. It is very challenging, and very fun. This plot is some of the most beautiful, rolling terrain in all of Oklahoma. The greens are fast, with deceptive undulation, but they are still forgiving enough for the average hacker to enjoy the play along with the scenery. This was a GREAT day of golf. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys challenging golf or just a nice day in a beautiful country atmosphere.
