Winding Creek Golf Club
About
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.

Winding Creek Tee Time Canceled - Bad Form
Made a reservation on GolfNow, a hot deal for $11 for 18 holes for my wife and me. 2:30pm on Wednesday. Received a call and email at 10am on Wednesday notifying me that our tee time was canceled because the course had a tournament that day. I called the course to confirm this. Why were all of the GolfNow tee times listed then?
No contact from the course, no offer to honor the rate another time. Will update my review if I ever go to Winding Creek, but for now, having nothing good to say about it.
Winding Creek
Course and greens in great shape. Pace of play was extremely slow maybe due to great weather conditions. Good value for money will come back again .
Busy
After 3pm is a busy time due to the drop in rate. I felt a little rushed, since this was my first time I wanted a slower round. All in all though great value for the money.
Play nice and great value
I've played this course for a long time, but it has been about 5 yrs since the last I played it, they have done some things to put more of the course in play, but you still have to hit good golf shots. The greens was growing back in after air rating, but they were pretty decent and the ball sit up in the fairway, when I hit one which wasn't very many, my fault not the course, overall great value. The layout is challenging like links course, which I think Is a lot of fun.
AWEFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got a great rate on this course and it still wasn't worth it. There were about 9-12 holes in fair shape and the rest were not worth playing. No grass, plowed up, sod patches, and mud, mud and more mud. I wouldn't play here again if they paid ME.
Not a good course or value
I'm normally pretty easy-going when it comes to the quality of courses that I play, but I was very disappointed w/ Winding Creek. It is easily the worst quality course I've ever played. Many fairways had no grass, but only mud, and the fairways that weren't destroyed were thicker than the rough. I got a very cheap rate of $24 but can easily say that this course was not worth it. I'd say that there were maybe 4 holes that were of suitable condition on the entire course. I would advise playing elsewhere or staying at home if you have no other options.
Awful course conditions
Over watered and painted greens. Hit a decent tee shot and you're rewarded with a lie in the mud. Needs management that knows how to take care of a golf course. Until that happens stay away, absolutely not worth $19.
Great mid-range course
Significant winter kill and over watering producing tougher conditions
Greens excellent
Stuck with 3 groups that had 7 AM tee time
In summary, enjoyable but could be better
GOOD CONDITIONS
Considering most courses in our area are in rough shape due to a rough winter, Surprisingly Winding Creek was in better shape than most and that includes some of the nicer courses. Most courses in the area have rough fairways where as Winding Creeks fairways were in better than expected condition. Overall for the money you couldn't ask for a better deal. Was pleasantly surprised at the good condition of the course compared to the rough shape of some of the nicer more expensive courses in the area
Not for me
I arrived an hour early. In that hour not one person came off number 9. They had a tournament that started at 130. That was my tee time also. Double booking? Soon as tournament started no carts out for us. Then the lead staff member leaves. If this is your idea of playing golf and service then go enjoy. I personally think management is soon to change.
could have been worse
Nice play. Open fairways. Forgiving holes. Average green speed. Hilly so finding the next hole was a small challenge. Overall not bad for the money.
Call before you book 18
Was disappointed upon arrival I booked for 18 however I was informed that I had to play the front 9 twice due to the back 9 being used for a "captain's choice" had I knew of that beforehand I would of chosen to play elsewhere that day.
Good value
Greens were in good condition. Fairways and tees were ok, but this could change once the warm weather stays. Overall not bad for 13 bucks.
Long day
Course had seen a lot of rain, wetter than expected. Carts were path only, which generally isn't a problem but my playing partner for the day is 70 years old and doesn't get around well on a hilly course. The greens had been recently aerated and were still sanded and somewhat bumpy. We've played the course before and had an excellent time, may need to call before heading out to make sure there isn't standing water in the fairways and recently aerated greens.
Should have went with wife to Wal-Mart
Tee Times are irrelevant. Showed up 20 minutes prior to tee time and as usual, the first tee was backed up. There were 4 Foursomes waiting on #1. Not only do you spend your entire day dodging other golfers hooks and slices, but you do it all while imitating a mountain goat. Accept...you're not really on a mountain...but you're playing on top of a Land Fill that's been covered up with dirt. It's about as low as you can get. Still...it's better than playing at Lexington Municipal...dealing with JJ.
Winding Creek
Not a bad course and an interesting layout. Wide open, but some side hill fariways where you have to hit smart. But it was a 70F day in February and the place was packed. Waited 25 min past our tee time for a cart and it was a 2.5 hour 9-hole pace. We played 10 and 11 and had to leave. Plus they stopped serving hotdogs after 5:00. :(
Hard to understand why a course would book more golfers than carts, but I don't own a course and might do the same if I did.
Deceivingly open tempter
This course is a great layout with several tempting tee shots. Play it smart and you should score well. Yield to temptation and could log your best score ever, OR you could be buying lunch for the rest of your group. Fun course. Love the twists and turns and elevation changes. We'll definitely be back.
great time
Always have a great time and I have met alot of good people who enjoy playing as much as I do
Winter golf
Winter golf is what it is. Course was in the condition one would expect in late November = Dormant with a lot of leaves everywhere and the greens not in the best condition. With that said, the price is more than reasonable when you take that into consideration. During the Spring and Summer the course is in good condition and you would be hard pressed to find a better value in the area unless you are a country club type of golfer.
