Course Information
Whispering Pines Golf Course is described as a distinctive combination of challenge & beauty - in 1998, Whispering Pines was designated a “Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary” by the Audubon International, becoming only the 3rd course in South Carolina to achieve this honor. The course is carved out of 200 acres of towering pines and mature hardwoods, with no backyards, by designers Finger, Dye, and Spahn. After starting the race on the spacious driving range, the tree lined fairways await all Junior Olympians for a scenic journey that will surely produce some fast times and fantastic finishes coming down the 18th fairway towards the clubhouse.
Note: Course maps will be included in the Official Championship program
