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.

Allowed me to book and took my money but gave no notice they were closed prior.

Be sure to call ahead before booking at this course. They allowed me to schedule my tee time for 5:53PM and upon arrival today at 5:43, I was stopped by a giant gate not allowing me access because they had closed with no notice. I will not be coming back, nor recommending others to this course. This is something very unprofessional and needs to be addressed. There were other cars out here as well confused why no one received notice of the closing. Drove 20 miles to this course for this?

Pars, Birdies, and Sunburns

Played one of the hottest rounds of golf in the history of the game. I think I saw a chicken lay an omelet on the one par three. And as we were leaving, there was a dude on his back porch shucking popcorn. That being said, the course was in remarkable shape considering the heat wave that came in the week prior. Greens and tee boxes were well maintained and taken care of. Overall layout was incredible, but a little challenging for a first-timer, considering the number of blind shots. There were water stations scattered around the course, which was a lifesaver. Most courses wouldn't have taken the time to do that for the players. Will be back

Hidden gem

In town for a clinic, booked a $26 Hot Deal and had no idea. Pulling in you pass an old church and graveyard that has seen better days, but this is no indication of the course. Pulling in I first noticed the course was GREEN! The gentleman at the desk was beyond nice and offered several tips about the course, even gave us a free yardage book. We played the white tees at 5600 yards. It has a fairly open lay out, with a few tight tee shots. The greens were soft, plush, receptive, while still rolling at a decent (slower end) pace. We were overly pleased and surprised. Look forward to visiting again!

Excellent Course and Layout

Took my son to play this course today and we both really enjoyed it. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Called in our food order on #9 and it was ready at the turn. Excellent food and snacks. Good prices. Greens were amazing. Fairways and rough was well groomed. Overall, I'd give this course for the money, an A+. Have already called several friends and told them they need to give it a round. I will certainly be back.

Nice Course

Course was in great shape. Fairways were green and smooth. Greens rolled true but were a little slower than I am used to in South Carolina. I will always place here when I visit the grandson.

Nice Course

This course is a challenge due to the ups and downs. Was told it is built on an old landfill. Fairways and greens are in great shape. I liked the layout of the course. This is not a course I would ever consider walking.

Amazing. Will play again

I was on the way to Charlotte for the weekend and stopped here to play. Mostly for price but it had decent reviews. This course far exceeded expectation and is more than worth the money we spent to play here. Will recommend and play again on future trips. Fairways and greens are in great condition.

Great job staff!

Curse was in great shape. Fairways were green and smooth. just a side note, this course is very hilly. Greens were awesome and the ball rolled smooth and true. a lot of uphill shots.

I would like to play this course again.

Pace was Awful

I fully anticipate slower pace on a day when the course is wet and it is cart path only. However, when you have to sit nearly 10 minutes between each shot on the back 9 because pace has slowed so drastically. My playing partner and I quit after 16 because we had been out there for nearly 5 hours and were tired of waiting.

There needs to be a ranger consistently going around, as well as a starter at 1. People just pull up and start playing whenever regardless of tee time.

I have loved this course since I first discovered it at the beginning of Covid. I've enjoyed watching it grow over the last 4 years and continue to succeed, but as with all things some apparent growing pains need to be addressed.
