The dining room at Whispering Pines Country Club is now being managed by the Ironwood Cafe and it's owner, Vince Continenza.  The restaurant is now called Woody's and they are doing a great job.  The menu is similar to Ironwood, except for the fact that there is a lot more "comfort food" available at Woody's - and it's excellent.  We ate there tonight and the service was just as good as the food.  They had a pretty good sized crowd.  Whispering Pines finally has a fine dining restaurant after all these years.  I highly recommend the trip out to WPCC to have dinner at Woody's.  Call 910-949-3000 for reservations and to make sure they are open.  I am not sure about their hours, although I know that they are open on Friday and Saturday nights in addition to some other nights of the week.  Ironwood is also handling lunch, which I am sure is equally impressive.  If you go over the holidays, and go by way of Ray's Bridge Rd so you can enter Whispering Pines along the Pine Lake dam.  Lakefront homes have their Christmas Trees lighted on their docks and that alone is worth the trip - it looks great.  If you need directions, don't hesitate to give us a call or visit our website: http://www.mcdevitttownandcountry.com.  We can be reached at 800.788.8814 toll free or 910.693.7901 locally.
