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.

Wonderful course

This is one of my favorite courses to play in the area. The grounds crew really takes care of this course well. Typically easy to get out any afternoon and get a round in under 3 hours as a single. Can’t beat the twilight price either.

Great value in the triad

Very friendly and relaxed staff. Great value for a somewhat challenging golf course. Definitely for the intermediate player that has some shot shaping ability. Rate of play isn't always a consistent issue, although at times there could be better tee time and gangsome management. Overall a great course that leaves you satisfied whether you play 9 or 18.

Great Value

For the price, this is an excellent course for a quick 18. Pace of play seems to be a bit slower on the weekends, so play early.

Cheap. Fun. Decent little course

Been playing here for years. Course overall is easy to moderate especially with the greens just being plugged. You can't beat the prices to twilight and golf now hot deals make it even more recommendable to others. Give it try I've never been disappointed

Links/Forest Hybrid Course

The course is a mix of a links style layout with lots of hills and a parkland course through the forest. So it's kinda weird because you'll get three links holes, three forest holes, and then another three links holes. There were also a ton of blind shots and elevated greens which make navigating the course tricky, especially if it's your first time playing here. Conditions were very wet as it had rained recently, and the greens were a bit chewed up. But the staff was very friendly and the facilities were okay. It's not a bad option, but maybe stay away after rain.

winding is an appropriate name.

Great day at Winding Creek. Lots of blind shots, and serious undulations. A good test of golf.

One of the best values in the area

I play Winding Creek pretty regularly -- almost every week. The course is consistently in very good shape, minus the unrepaired ball marks left behind by careless people. The fairways are lush and the rough is challenging, but reasonably playable. Blind approach shots are the biggest nuisance of the course. There are five holes where you can't see the green at all, unless you're a gigantic hitter.

Highlights of the course are consistent elevation changes. You will have every lie imaginable during your round. The course offers up a handful of pretty simple tee shots, paired with an equal number of extremely challenging ones. When the wind picks up, club selection is very tough. The course isn't very long overall, but has a couple of monster holes: an all-carry, 200+ yd par 3 over water, and an almost 600 yd, uphill, dogleg left par 5.

If you're going to play this course, bring your A game, and you'll be fine. Otherwise, bring a dozen balls, as this course will eat them up.

Rugged/Hills and Long Path(s)

The course was not horrible...it was just hill after hill, no joke, it seemed like it was uphill EVERY single stroke. And, the cart path was terrible, yet you HAD to stay on it and 3/4th of the time, your ball, if in the fairway, was up or down a hill, 20-30ft from the path. Made it difficult to navigate even if you DID shoot par.

A tough one

Course layout if pretty good if you have played this course before. Being my first time, it was hard to see the fairway and greens on a number of holes because of the undulating terrain of the course which is one of the reasons why it is a pretty course.

Pace was okay. Came in on my 1:30 tee time just as a tournament was concluding. It was slow slow slow, but I decided to play only 9 holes and cut to the back nine. I finished in 2 hours and left early, didn't play the front nine.
