Whisper Creek is about an hour west of Chicago off I-90 at Route 47, 20 minutes east of Rockford.

The course is in an Audubon Sanctuary within the Del Webb Sun City community over generally level terrain along fairways defined by scattered stands of trees. The broad fairways are bordered by tall fescue grasses, wetlands, ponds, waterfalls, the Kishwaukee River, rock outcroppings, and a generous amount of conventional and pot bunkers. From the Oak tees it plays to 7,103 yards, 73.7/133, course/slope ratings with three shorter tees, designed by Billy Casper and Greg Nash in 2000.
