About
Located just outside of Columbia, The Windermere Club sits along the banks of the lake that it takes its name from. Pete Dye designed the golf course, crafting a number of memorable holes. It's his only design in the Midlands. No two holes are alike on this challenging layout, so expect to use every club in your bag. The golf course offers a variety of risk-reward opportunities that will appeal to both low and high handicappers. There are also five, and sometimes six, tee boxes on every hole, making the golf course even more appealing for any skill level. The fairways are generous but lined with mature hardwoods and there are strategically placed bunkers to contend with. Golfers at The Windemere Club will also encounter subtle but tricky elevation changes and several lakes and ponds.

Who canceled my tee time ?
Who cancelled my tee time for June 27 at 10:10, I didn’t
Not disappointed
This was the second time playing the course. I took a friend with me who was playing the course for the first time.
The course was in beautiful condition. The fairways were lush and produced very good lies. The greens were smooth and true, but a little slower than expected. A few of the tee boxes were getting bare.
I have the same complaint as from my first round here. There are no hole descriptions on the scorecard or on the tee boxes. You have to get a yardage book from the pro shop or use a golf app on your phone The most annoying , and frankly the easiest fix, is that all the flags on the green are white. NO WAY TO TELL IF PIN IS FRONT, BACK, OR MIDDLE! .
A course should provide a player wi Rh all the information need to play iit without the need for a book or laser.
Good Times
This course is amazing. I really enjoy the layout and design for the course. It can be challenging, but it makes you think about shot placements.
Love this place
Course is in good shape. Some of the greens have a few dead spots but doesn't affect much unless you have to put over it. The spots are on the edges of greens that have them. Bunkers aren't good, several filled with water and other just need sand. Other than those few things the course is great. Fun layout.
They have a sign asking you to ride 2 per person per cart, hopefully they relax this a bit since Covid cases in SC are rising rapidly.
This course is challenging and fun at play!!! It is a very beautiful course! I will definitely be back!
Course has potential but needs work
The layout and design was great, with hidden bunkers and well placed water hazards. Unfortunately the course looks like it could use some work, it wasn't in terrible condition but with some better greenskeeping it could be a great course. I also had a problem with some neighborhood kids playing on the course, one ran out and stole my ball off of the green during play. They need to get a ranger out there to keep the kids off the course during the middle of the day.
Back again
Played first time in about 18 months. Must say a big improvement, but still have a long way to go. Way too many bare spots on greens. Mostly around edges and most likely caused by the mower doing clean up cuts too often. One thing I noticed that really shocked me was that had done aerification recently and someone had taken the old plugs and spread out over the bare spots. Surly they no better than that. Overall green were coming in, but were very bumpy right now.
members are dickheads
i was behind 4 members in there own carts,wet and windy and i waited every hole!!!!!!! it happens everytime i play there but it will not happen again!!!!!! when i talked to them on the 25th they told me that the whole course was open , when i got there they told me that the back nine was closed, just a rip off!
Great Experience
Course layout is beautiful and entertaining. Course was in great shape, especially given the insane amount of rain we’ve had! Staff was super friendly. They are really working hard to get this course back to it’s prime condition. Sand traps still a bit hard and the cart paths can be a little rough. Tee boxes all in great shape. Fairways true. Greens beautiful. You really can’t beat the value at current prices! I absolutely love playing here.
Not bad
Coulda been a little less crowded. Coulda been manicured a little better on the course.
Love the layout, food overpriced and slow
Great course, great layout and great value. Pretty ridiculous to pay 7.99 for a hot dog though and that was the only food item that we could get quickly at the turn.
Course too crowded
Beautiful and challenging course but tee times are stacked on top of each other so every shot is rushed.
Nice, with a twist.
So I received an invite from a buddy to play this course. When I got there, the tee time was changed and the green fees were $10 more than GolfNow had advertised. Tom in the pro shop could use an attitude adjustment, but other than that everyone else was SUPER nice. If you go, you have to eat some food. I had a burger and it was probably the best burger in the Columbia area. The course is a nice course. Green fairways and up kept greens.
Fun round
Enjoyed our round although pace of play slow on front nine. Picked up on back.
Tee boxes, fairways, & greens in pretty good shape for this time of year. Courteous staff.
I will be back!
