New Carts are the Bomb

The course was in excellent condition. Only played the back nine, but pace of play was very good. I normally walk, but the Hot Deal made riding the correct choice. The new carts are phenomenal! GPS with scoring application was very nice. Keep up the good work in improving the golfing experience!

First and only

You can see the history in the course. And it could be great. But it’ll need millions and it’s clear thats not what the plan is.

Great Course

Had an amazing time playing with my wife who is a new golfer. She enjoyed the back 9 as far as difficulty and loved the ocean view and updated carts. Unfortunately ran out of time so we couldn’t play 18 but we will definitely be back!

Great greens

The course is under new ownership and it appears they are making course improvements. The greens were spectacular. Very fast but rolled true. Typical Donald Ross with false fronts, back to front sloping greens and don’t be above the hole.

A Donald Ross Classic

Winnapaug was an absolute delight! The greens are lightning fast, and roll very true. Many of them are mounded, as you would expect from a Ross design, so club selection on approach shots is at a premium.

There are waste areas which give several holes a Pinehurst feel. There are also what appear to be old bunkers, which if they were originally designed by Ross to be there, should be restored.

The condition of the tee boxes wasn’t great, but not the worst that I’ve ever seen.

The staff was helpful and cheerful.

I look forward to returning, soon!

Poorly Managed

We were started off on the back nine. When we finished and were ready to start the front nine there were 3 foursomes waiting to start. Apparently two leagues had started on the front nine. Very friendly staff in the pro shop told us to skip past a few groups and cut in. We drove the entire front nine and it was packed solid with many complaints from players we talked to. Club house were refunding others but could not do us cause we paid on GolfNow.

Really no score cards!

I have been playing winnapaug cc for more than 10 years. It has been a yearly trip for my son and I. This last trip was a great disappointment! First there were no carts available, the restaurant was closed, and they “ran out of score cards”! The fairways were as usual hard and mostly brown but the greens were well taken care of. For $180 dollars I guess I expected a lot more! I’ll have to rethink playing there as an annual stop! So sad!!!

Beautiful course with a couple of areas to improve

Played Winnipaug for the first time yesterday.

Pros: great layout, beautiful hole design, new carts, great greens, friendly course staff, a Donald Ross gem, active course ranger kept play moving

Cons: the tee boxes need some rest. As someone who typically doesn’t tee up irons out of the box, it was tough to find a spot to set the ball. The course is also missing some signs—most tee boxes didn’t have the hole number and a couple of areas we were unsure if we were playing from a bunker or ground under repair.
