Terrible
This place is terrible, it over sold the course. Showed up for tee time they put us on the back because they had a “team play” going off at 10.
That’s not my problem that’s the courses inability to manage tee times.
Started off the back in the middle of groups, ranger comes and tells us they had a complaint we were slow.
Stay away from this place.
On-course Marshall is a MUST!
I enjoy this course. I will play this course multiple times this summer.. The condition of the course was great for taking on an inch plus rain the previous night. The issue with the course is player management.. Every green had a player caused divot. This course must look into on course marshals as there is zero excuse for vandalism and slow play. I understand I am playing weekend golf and by the nature of that beast a 3 hr round is not expected. However that being said watching the group in front of us hit a 25 ft drive off the first tee then drive off leaving the ball behind was an omen of the days pace of play.. on the par five the twosome waited for the green to clear 250 yards on the fly in a 20 mph headwind.. they carded a solid 20 on that hole.. We followed the twosome for a 2.5 hour front nine.. We hurried to the tenth tee before they left the tee we witnessed each of them hit 3 drives each until they had one in play.. The back nine took 3 hrs solid and they had zero foursomes in front of them for four holes of the back nine. Neither player broke 100 for nine holes.. I truly hope that some sort of management sees this because a couple more rounds like it and I and my foursome will enjoy golf elsewhere. And if you read this and you are a golfer allow faster groups through. On course management/ marshals are a must when you overbook tee times at a ten minute spread.
Slow slow slow
Took 3 hrs to play 9 holes . Pace of play was horrible and seems to always be . Course was in ok conditions, greens were in good shape and rolled consistently. Unfortunately couldn’t finish because of how slow it was .
Slow play due to course latout
I liked each individual hole design, what I did not enjoy was course layout. Example on some holes when playing from the blues you are in a line of people hitting their approach shot over/into you, cart path design of stopping play due to people entering you line of sight. Pace of play I feels suffers from layout. Phillip in the pro shop was great, had to move my tee time due to traveling from Raleigh and moved us no problem
Slow!
Great course, great day. Too great. 3 hours to play 9 holes. Had to quit. Couldn't take it anymore.
Good for money
Course well maintain and green fees are very reasonable
Best course around for the money
My only issue with the course was that whoever did the pin placements had no clue what they were doing. The greens were quite fast and when putting to some of those pins the ball wouldn't stop unless it went in the hole. I had several putts that came all the way back to where I putted from originally.
Great day for play.
Course is very underrated. Greens are good. Grass is in all areas for play. The bunkers appear to be re done recently. This course is so fun to play. The grill is great when it is open. The staff is helpful. The layout of.the first three holes creates a log jam for play on the weekends. Pace of play once off the first three holes was typical. I will return soon.
Reasonable early morning tee time
Got to play single as a dew sweeper. Played 18 in u under three hours.
Lots of blind shots
If you’ve never played here before be prepared for lots of blind shots. However, it makes it really challenging. Even if you have, still always a challenging course. I like it!!
First time playing Winding Creek
As the title states, this my first time here and I was bit uncertain how the experience would be given some of the reviews. I found the staff very friendly, the starter even gave me a free yardage book when I told him it was my first time. I went out as a single at 9 am as the others in my tee time went earlier, even though I was behind numerous 3 and 4 somes the pace was good for a Sunday morning. Course was in great condition for a muni and offers some challenging holes especially from the back tees. A lot of elevation changes make the course play longer than the yardage states. Greens ran true and smooth! Overall course offers a great value for the cost.
Challenging But Fun
Beginner golfer, first time playing the course. I only played the front nine, so my experience is limited to that. Several of the holes were very challenging due to the terrain (hills, etc) and blind spots. The course was in very nice shape, though, as well as the greens. Very good pricing, friendly staff, and players on the course seemed cool.
Fix your divot marks folks
Love playing here. If people would fix their divots on the green they would actually be playable.
