History
Whispering Pines Golf Club in Trinity, Texas, designed by Chet Williams and opened in 2000 in the East Texas Piney Woods, is consistently ranked as the finest private course in Texas and among the top 50 in America. Williams created a course of astonishing precision and beauty amid the tall East Texas pines, with bold green complexes, imaginative bunker strategies, and a design philosophy that rewards skilled shot-making. The par-70 layout's demanding two-shot holes and testing par-3s require complete mastery of the game. Its exclusivity adds greatly to its mystique.
