The Windermere Club

I have been playing this course for several years and the bent grass greens were okay in the winter but summer they would burn up. All 18 greens have been replaced with the same Bermuda grass as Quail Hollow in Charlotte and the greens are now rolling really good and will only get better next year.

This is a Pete Dye designed course and the only links style in the Columbia SC area so the layout is simply amazing!!

Can't wait to see more improvements coming in the near future!

Wonderful course slowly and steadily being maintained and coming back. Great layout. Challenging. Worth playing if people ride on the side of the fairways, avoid carts near the green and take 90 degree paths.

For the price, a great course with a great layout. If you don’t like the condition, pay $100 at the least to maintain the course. It’s a course with challenges and scenery. Play without loosing a single ball :)

There was two sets of geasers in front of me a single holding up the entire course. Playing split tees and not one offered to let me play through as a single and I saw the ranger once. Other than that tho it’s a nice course

It was raining all way through round so that didn't help but over all a good test .I was plesently surprised how good the greens were...bunkers in horrid conditions...course needs a little TLC

Just put in new greens and they came in nice. The front nine are well done and the back nine are mostly in. Not overly crowded so was able to get a nice 3 hour round of 18 in.

Half of the course is shut down for the rest of the year to get new greens put in supposedly. I find it awkward how a supposed bankrupt golf course can afford to replace the greens on half the course, but maybe I misunderstood them at the neighborhood hoa meeting. Obviously the back 9 is packed because people are playing it twice to get 18 holes. Long waits, burned out bent grass greens that are surprisingly wet and let your balls bury into them. The staff and layout is great though.

Course is in terrible shape. Front 9 is closed and no notice beforehand. Were supposed to play the back twice. Played a few holes and left. Waste of money and time.

We had a great time. After reading the reviews, I expected problems but did. Or find them. The course was in great shape from Tee to Green. We will be back again.

This course always goes up and down as far as condition goes. Right now it is down. Bunkers are horrible, liners exposed in most, others are more waste area than sand trap. Several greens have seen better days. For a country club it should not fluctuate this much in terms of condition.

Other than a few small spotty areas on some of the greens, the course was in good shape. Pace of play was good until we caught up to a couple of slow foursomes. I will start playing here more often and would recommend it to others.

First time playing here and will definitely go back!

Good course with one of the best layouts I’ve played. Plenty of bunkers and multiple holes that bring water into play. I recommend getting a yardage book even if you don’t normally as you HAVE to plan your way around this course. A few greens are a little patchy but can tell they’re on their way back to good shape, and are still in better condition than most courses in the area. Bunkers are pretty firm, but also played in a light drizzle, so that could be a big factor. Really a hidden gem with them just opening up to public not long ago. I’ll definitely be back!

As previous reviews state, The greens and course are receptive to issues throughout the year with the SC heat, but right now the course is in great shape (I’ve also seen some hard times out here). All 18 greens are playable and full, (yes,slow at times) but overall it’s a win.. understandably the bunkers are sometimes hard to maintain with midlands orange clay, but most tee boxes and fairways and greens are where they want them to be I would believe (even with this heat wave).. one of my favorite layouts in Columbia with best finishing hole in the area in my opinion.. Even if the course is not in tip top shape, it’s completely worth the course architecture and appreciation for golf to enjoy a round here.. thanks to the staff for continuing to try and improve the experience

I have played here over 25 rounds in the past year. Holes 10,15,18 are in terrible shape. Hole 15 should just be skipped all together since every time the ball lands in the fairway it gets buried in mud. There are more Cart tire tracks then there is fairway grass. The layout here is awesome though. Maybe they need to consider an angel investor to help get the course back up to okay shape. Course needs GREENS! Bent grass is not doing the trick! This course is literally worth 10-15 for 18 holes. The greens rarely bounce causing balls to stick to most greens. Disappointed, yet optimistic they can attempt to stop the bleeding..
