About Whispering Pines Golf Club
Whispering Pines Golf Club is a private 18-hole, par 72 course at Trinity, Texas. Chet Williams of Nicklaus Design created the championship course, which opened in 2000. The site is piney woods with creeks and lakes, and the club sits near Lake Livingston. Pine forest frames the holes, and creeks and lakes bound the course and give it shoreline views. Trinity lies about 88 miles north of Houston, and the property is home to abundant wildlife.
- The Dallas Morning News has rated Whispering Pines the top course in Texas.
- The Spirit International Amateur Golf Championship, a biennial event, is hosted here.
- A three-hole par-3 course on site is used by the First Tee program.
- Natural dunes sit among the piney woods on the property, alongside the creeks and lakes.
