Whispering Pines

History

The Village was founded in 1959 and was the first to be incorporated by an act of the N.C. General Assembly in 1969. After studying with Donald Ross, Ellis Maples set out to design some of the top rated golf courses in North Carolina. Two of his designs can be found today in Whispering Pines. Considered to be two of Maples’ finest works, the Pines Course (formerly the East Course) and the River Course (formerly the West Course) are located in the Village of Whispering Pines.
