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.

Wear A Helmet
Greens in good shape. Fairways and tee boxes are good for this time of year. That being said, you start right off with a blind tee shot that thanks to a ranger, keeps you from being killed. This course has many blind shots, not just off the tee but from fairways. Club selection very hard as every green on top a hill into the wind. Placement golf on steroids. The slow pace of play comes from the difficulty and the group in front of you. I actually saw a guy in front of me hit a driver backwards! He would swing 3 times and only be 100 yards off tee. None of the 4 broke 100. For God's sake take a double or triple max and pick it up. The course conditions, price all good. The design horrible and pace of play unbearable.
Fun golf course. Have played it many times over the years. Pace of play can still be a "challenge", as we weren't affected because we went out early, but we did see a 6 some that was holding a bunch of groups up
Fun course but...
Fun course to play but pace of play on weekends is soul crushing. Ranger was trying though.
slowwwwwww...
Very short course (about 5,000 yards from senior tees). SLOW as molasses! Didn't see a ranger until 18th hole. I was part of a twosome, having to wait behind a foursome for the ENTIRE back nine! Out there for almost 5 hours! Debating whether to go back there again in near future.
Overbooked
The course is in much better shape but the waiting time for a Thursday was alot. I thought it would be better on the back 9 but it was even more backed up. There were two foursomes and a twosome waiting at #10 . I left and feel I should get a 9 hole raincheck.
Improvements
Winding Creek is a favorite local course, and they have made a couple of changes since I last played, they have all new carts and have recently added new sand to the bunkers.
While it can be congested on weekends, it is my favorite course for a quick paced mid-week round.
Slow greens
Greens are typically really slow and this round was worse plus we were not told they just aerated. They were extremely bouncy, slow and rolled terrible. This course is inexpensive and therefore a lot of new players so the pace of play is slow. Just be prepared to spend 5 1/2 hours on the weekend
Great Value
Great price for a great course.
Staff is as friendly as they need to be.
Carts could be upgraded, but the cart path was rough as well in some spots.
Give this course a try, you’ll find yourself “satisfied” with your day.
Really enjoyable course
Challenging but very enjoyable course. Plenty of well laid out holes and the course is in good condition. The staff and the players are very friendly. I’ve been back a number of times since and enjoyed it every time.
Excruciating slow play.
Challenging fun course but soul crushing slow play especially on Sundays ruin any chance of enjoyment.
Great shape
The course is in great shape. Greens were a little slow but likely due to all the rain.
