Whispering Oaks Golf Course
About Whispering Oaks Golf Course
Whispering Oaks is an 18-hole course laid out with Zoysia fairways and bentgrass greens. Every hole offers four sets of tees, giving players of varying abilities a choice of yardages.
The course was designed by Larry Flatt and opened in 1952 as a nine-hole layout, expanding to 18 holes in 1991. It took the Whispering Oaks name in February 2016.
Practice facilities include a driving range and a putting green near the clubhouse, where Anheuser-Busch products are sold; outside alcoholic beverages are not permitted on the property.
