Winnapaug Country Club

The greens were beautiful ! That is the best feature of this golf course. But The tee boxes were not very good thin grass. The fairways were decent

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.

Friendly staff ,good course, average fairways ,nice greens ,clubhouse was not open , no water on the course you need to bring your own still very enjoyable playing near the shore ,golf scooters if available are a blast !

This course has a nice lay out. Challenging par 3’s and tough pin placements made the day fun. However, fairways and tee boxes were in tough shape and a greenskeeper was watering one of the greens with a hose when we were putting. Staff was very nice. I would entertain going back here again but would hope the course would be in better shape next time.

I played here exactly 50 years ago for the first time as a 14-year-old. At that time it was magnificent. Came back 50 years later from Sacramento to visit my twin brother and get in a round of golf. The greens were pretty good and layout is as it always had been (challenging and varied). But the condition of the course was not the best. Most of the fairways, tee boxes and rough were awful. There were a few holes that were in good condition but some of the holes looked like they were not even maintained. We rented a brand new cart but the cart paths were either non-existent or bumpy asphalt or gravel. The pro shop was a small shack, the driving range was 3 or 4 beat up mats with hardly any range landing area and the restaurant and bar were closed. Went midday on a Monday but had to wait a lot for a couple of different twosomes that were total hackers. I hope they find a greenskeeper who can bring Winnipaug back to its glory days. It needs a lot of refurbishing. Overall rank 3 stars.

Condition of the course is better than previous years. Greens were in excellent condition. Sand was inconsistent in the traps. Fairways and tees weren’t bad but far from excellent. Clubhouse restaurant and bar were closed for lunch. Outdoor food cart was set up by the 18th green. Other courses in the area are in better condition with lower fees.

No driving range, Fairways are plenty wide but dry and ruff The greens and the staff are the one thing this place has going for itself. The course layout is fun. Although you can get lost driving the cart down the main streets getting to the next T-box.

Fun course with friendly staff. Greens are true and tee boxes need work.

Greens were great! Fairways 8 of 10 Rough poor Traps really poor

The new carts with the tablets are awesome, the gps was spot on, the carts were super comfortable. The condition of the course has come along way from when I first played. The electric bikes are a great option, the next time I play I will get one of those. I hope they stay on top of everything and keep making improvements.

Thanks

Very friendly staff, nice layout. Would recommend the course. Hope to play again.

A short but challenging Donald Ross course. Some areas were under repair, but the greens were fantastic and lived up to Don Ross standards fast and difficult.

Course is in Great Shape, the greens are Private Course fast with lots of breaks & false fronts.

I hadn't played here in 30 years, and now I can't wait to go back. Great Staff, friendly & helpful.

If you like Ross courses, Play Here!!!!!

New electric carts and cycles were nice. Course still needs work. Restuarant is still closed. Beverage cart is limited.

Winnapaug CC is a very nice and fun course. It is hilly on the front seven, gentle on the middle 7, and hilly again on the final four holes. Pace of play is okay at four and a half hours, but could improve if carts were allowed to get a bit closer to the greens. The course is well-maintained and the greens roll fast and true; the pin placements are challenging, especially on the third, sixth, sixteenth, and seventeenth greens. Hitting a green in regulation and three- or four-putting it gets the advanced player well roiled, and gives a duffer like me a chance to match those scores with a lucky chip and tap-in. The staff is great, very helpful and supportive. A phase-in of new electric carts has begun. They are equipped with ball and clubface washers. If you fancy a game at the shore, Winnapaug does not disappoint. The cost for play is very reasonable and there are discounts available through their website.
