WHGA Memberships offer individuals and corporations a unique way to combine charitable giving with membership benefits to a world class golf venue. All WHGA members enjoy exclusive membership privileges to Whispering Pines Golf Club, rated #1 in Texas by Dallas Morning News and 11th in the nation by Golf Digest. WHGA members represent a prestigious and influential group of philanthropic minded individuals and corporations. The WHGA offers four types of membership: National, Individual, Charitable and Corporate. Please take a moment to review the following membership descriptions. Should you have any questions, please contact Membership Director Bettiann Barnard at bbarnard@whga.org

All WHGA Members receive the following benefits:

-Privileges to Whispering Pines Golf Club for member and their invited guests for one year. Member must accompany guests on all visits.

-The tax deductible amount of the annual contribution will be based on the amount contributed less the fair market value of benefits received. An annual receipt will be generated stating the total amount of the member’s contribution, the total number of rounds played by the member and their guests and, based on this number, the deductible amount of the contribution.

-The value received by each member ($165 per round of golf) shall not exceed 50% of the amount contributed. Therefore, membership contributions are limited to the number of golf rounds provided. Upon reaching this limit, the member may pay for each round at $250 per round or increase the amount of the contribution.

-Members have the option of paying for golf rounds at a rate of $250 per person per round, which provides the member with a greater tax deduction. This information will be requested when making tee times. Whispering Pines Golf Club accepts cash, Visa, Mastercard and American Express.

-The $165/$250 per round includes your golf, range balls and cart or caddie. A forecaddie is required for parties of four or more. Food and beverage are additional.

-Members have reservation rights to rent cottages at The Village at Whispering Pines. The Village includes four cottages: each features four bedrooms (two beds each), four bathrooms and fully equipped kitchens.
