Okay, here’s my blog post about playing Whispering Firs Golf Course, written in a casual, first-person style:
So, I finally got around to playing Whispering Firs Golf Course. I’d heard some good things, seen some pictures online, you know, the usual. Decided to check it out for myself.
First thing I did was, obviously, book a tee time. Used their online system, pretty straightforward. Picked a morning slot because, who wants to bake in the afternoon sun? Not this guy.
Got there a bit early, grabbed my clubs from the trunk, and headed to the pro shop to check in. The guy behind the counter was super chill, gave me the rundown, pointed me towards the first tee. All good so far.
The Course
Okay, the course itself. It’s…nice. Really nice, actually. Greens were in good shape, fairways were well-maintained, you could tell they put some effort into it. The layout was interesting, not just a boring back-and-forth kind of thing. Some challenging holes, some easier ones, a good mix.
- Hole 3: Par 4, dogleg left. Had to really think about club selection off the tee. Ended up slicing it into the rough. Oops.
- Hole 7: Long par 5. Took three solid shots to even get close to the green. Ended up with a bogey, but I felt okay about it.
- Hole 12: Par 3 over water. Always a bit nerve-wracking. Managed to stick the green, two-putted for par. Victory!
- Hole 18:Ended up at last hole.I finised it.
I walked the course, which was a good workout. They do have carts available, if you’re into that. Saw a few deer wandering around, which was pretty cool. Added to the whole “nature” vibe.
After the round, I stopped by the clubhouse for a drink and a sandwich. Nothing fancy, but it hit the spot. Sat outside, enjoyed the view, reflected on my mediocre-at-best performance.
Overall, I’d say Whispering Firs is definitely worth checking out. It’s a well-maintained course, a good challenge, and just a pleasant place to spend a few hours. I’ll probably be back, maybe try to improve that score a little. Maybe.
