This traditional course, which is part of Williams College, was built on flat terrain. The layout features wide fairways and large greens. Water hazards come into play on two holes. The course is exquisitely well groomed and has many mature trees lining its fairways. This course is considered a golfing jewel.

A Must Play, Jul 15, 2004

reviewer: J. Gates from Scituate, MA

The Ross like design makes it challenging, the mature tree lined fairways makes it spectacular, the semi-private atmosphere makes it regal, and the Western New England feel makes it charming. What more could you ask for? The only thing that could make it better would be to play it during the foliage season. I can only imagine it looking like a real life Van Gogh water color! Well worth the trip.

Whispering Pines Golf Club
"Childhood Hole in One"
I got my hole-one-on the par-3 7th. Its the kind of hole that it could happen any day to any of us. And hey, thats gotta be worth something!!! The green is two tiered and the top tier is hard to stay on, the ball likes to role down to the bottom, always where the pin is. You tee off from above, the hole is about 120 yrds I think. So, get it on the green, watch it role and you've got yourself a chance my friend! Overall, the course is a 9 holer and its fun. Golf period...is fun, come on right.

"Good Course Layout - Challenging but fair."
Hybrid Bermuda 419 grass is like having your ball on a tee! Bent grass greens are some of the best for a course located in a southern state.
