Whisper Rock - Upper or Lower?
« on: March 05, 2013, 05:12:27 PM »
Just spent a couple of days at the highly impressive Whisper Rock, very comfortable, relaxed club with a great ethos. If you've played it which course rocks your boat the most the Fazio or Mickleson?

I like the lower.  Fazio mucked up the upper and has had to make a number of changes.  It's basically no different then Fazio's other courses in the area, Estancia, Mirabel or Greyhawk.  Landscape desert architecture, acres of green grass, smooth fairways, pretty lakes and white bunkers.

Bill Coore who lives across the street thought it was the best site he had ever seen in the desert for a minimalist course. Gregg felt he owed Fazio because of another project he did.  It has a world class membership, world class practice facilities and staff.   

Golf Digest rates the courses 3rd and 6th best in the state and 123rd and 167th in the US.

Only played the Upper, but had a great time. Also enjoyed chatting with Miller Barber on the range - I can still recall watching golf on tv with my Dad when Mr. X was one of the big names on the Tour. Very cool watching as Geoff Ogilvy came over to say hi to Miller as he was eating lunch in the clubhouse.

Mickleson is a +8 but Paul Casey a +4 I cannot imagine Casey getting 4 shots too often!!

Lower is slightly better. Both good and best in the area.
