The grand opening of the Nicklaus designed Whispering Oak course at Verandah Club coincides with the three-year anniversary of the opening of the Bob Cupp designed Old Orange course at Verandah.

Whispering Oak has shaped up as a challenging complement to the classic golf styling of Verandah’s first course. Nicklaus said it also harmonizes with the natural attributes of the community. “There are natural elements, such as a number of pockets of large oak trees, that we were able to keep intact and utilize in the look and strategy.”

Golfers will experience Whispering Oak’s true personality in its greens. “We did some very unique and creative things with the green complexes,” Nicklaus said. “One green has a bunker style inspired by the Road Hole at St. Andrews, and another, No. 15, is probably 6,000 square feet, yet only 3,000 of that is usable for pin placements. We took significant aprons off the tops of the greens, leaving only the perched areas as usable. There will be some fun challenges to the greens at Verandah.”

The Verandah course, maintains the Nicklaus Design emphasis on interesting greens. “A golf course without interesting greens is almost defenseless because of today’s technology,” he said. “The subtle changes in green elevations and creating small pin placements within the green allow us to put some teeth back in the golf course.”
