This course has made a remarkable comeback by hiring new superintendent, Jim Smith. The greens are the best they have been in the last 20 years. The natural grasses have been allowed to grow higher near the tree lines and new tee boxes hav3 been added If you haven't played Whispering Firs in awhile then come on out and see us!
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Better courses for less nearby, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing

Whispering Firs Golf Course on McChord AFB is a great secret to most civilians who do not have military friends. It is a private military course with an excellent and tough layout which by all accounts is tougher than Eagles Pride, its sister course at Ft. Lewis. Tight fairways, great bunkering and undulating greens are the norm here and it doesn't seem to get easier the more you play it. Great food at Habanero's Resturant with a great staff and adequate pro shop. If you are lucky enough to play this course you will want to come back!
