Rating 71.0

Winding Creek Golf Club in Thomasville is an 18-hole municipal course that is one of the most affordable rounds in the area. It is a regulation-length layout that measures 6,367 yards from the tips. The design is a true target-golf test that is player friendly enough for beginners but will also challenge more advanced players. The golf course is perched atop one of the highest points in Davidson County. From elevated tees and greens you can enjoy dramatic views as well as some intimidating shots. It's a golf course that will most likely have you using every club in your bag. Though there is plenty of variety, the course isn't too formidable for high handicappers. In addition to the golf course, Winding Creek also has a putting green and driving range that you can use for warming up.

Greens were bad

Overall Wnding Creek is a challenging course. The only issue I had was the greens. They had been aerated, but no notice was posted on Golf Now and no word from the Pro. It would hsve been nice to have known ahead of time.

Just Average

Played Winding Creek on a whim today and it was spectacularly average. The area received a good amount of rain in the last few days so the course was soaked, not their fault. However, I was surprised it wasn't cart path only, I went off at 9:30 and already the fairways and soft spots were trashed with muddy cart tracks.

If you're an above average player I would choose somewhere else, the course tips out at like 6,400 yards. Short courses can still be fun but this one just didn't excite me.

The greens in my opinion were again just average, yes they were wet and soft so they probably couldn't be cut this morning.

Overall I think its a course your going to be headed to after work with a 12 pack and a 5 some. A solid 3 star course, staff was friendly but just not worth the drive down from Greensboro.

Great layout but numerous un-fixed ball marks on each green

Fair and enjoyable layout with a good mix of elevation changes. Played as a twosome and didn’t force us to pair up (I’m sure this is because of COVID), but played in 4 hours after teeing off mid-morning on the weekend. Pace seemed to pick up after ranger came out. Numerous un-fixed ball marks on every green. Friendly staff in golf shop and grill.

Friendly service on the condition that we were playing

Being a first time player on this course my wife and I had a good time the course was in good condention it was wide open grass was cut greens were good. Only thing that would help next time is to have better directions around the course. Got lost a few times. But over all we give it a 4.

Holiday Golf

Course was in great shape. Pace was good, not any long waits on any hole. Greens smooth, no burn or bumps. Not an issue but always like to state that a spotter on #2 would probably speed play since it is blind tee shot and sloped fairway.

Great day at Winding Creek Golf Course

The golf course is in great shape from tee to green. The greens ran around a 9 and rolled true. We had a threesome in front of us but when we came to number 10 a single jumped in front of us .We played the back nine waiting on him to hit every shot and the threesome that was in front of us was two holes ahead. This golfer played two balls every hole.I drove an hour to get to the course for a 8:02 tee time. I don't think I will be back because of the situation we put up with on the back nine.

Winding Creek Golf

The tee boxes are flat and have grass , fairways were very good and ball set up nicely for your shot and the greens rolled around a 8 and we're tricky in regards to break .This was the first time I have played this course and you need to know where to hit the ball as some tee shots are blind shots.

What A wonderful treat!

Ok so my disclaimer is I’m considered by my peers to be an avid golfer meaning I play at least 4 times a week, so Life is really good right now considering as well I live in a golf course for me to travel to play and pay has to be something pretty special and TODAY IT WAS! First the staff was friendly yes they was practicing social distancing only allow one person at a time in the pro shop, created and handed a first time yardage book which was very helpful! The range needs work , however the course was Awesome you better shape your tee shot because the bounces and wind is no joke great test of golf ! Not to mention the views plenty of chances to score par that is because birdies are require some very very accurate iron shots ! Yes some holes are wide open and you can well on driver and go from there, besides the golf take the time to listen to the birds and enjoy the pace of play my team time was 8:45 and I was able to play and enjoy myself! Please keep on in mind that I drive 2 hrs to get to this track and I will do it agin in a heart beat! Yes the cart path a little bumpy but what to expect in the mountains! All I can say is book the course and see for yourself already got a foursome for next week line up to play !!

Great Value & Fun Round

Have played the course 6 times in the last year. It’s mostly a wide open course and forgiving of the slice on many tee shots.

Super friendly staff and very accommodating of groups. It is in great shape especially considering how much play it gets.

Great value and will continue to play this course as part of our regular rotation.
