The Windermere Club

The course looked beautiful online and in person. I booked a tee time online for 2 golfers there was no option to add a rider. I did not want to lie and say I had 3 golfers. So we arrived today after traveling 1 hour and 5 minutes. The associate was already being rude to a course regular as we entered the clubhouse. When I advised I had booked a tee time, the associate confirmed 2 golfers and I said yes sir and a rider. The associate immediately responded with an attitude that we couldnt have a rider today as he needed to save carts for actual golfers. My 2nd golfer advised the associate he couldn't believe the guy was going to turn us away and lose out on 120 plus a rider fee. The associates attitude struck once more and he advised as we walked out that we should have called ahead and advised of a rider. I made the tee time online and there was no rider option. I have never played at a course in my 25 history of playing golf where you couldn't have a rider and an associate in the customer service industry was that rude. So, needless to say we will not be giving this course a second chance and any of our golfing friends who ask for course recommendations will be advised to play here. In fact, we will strongly recommend not to play there. The Woodland Country Club 7 miles away from Windemere was able to host us and did so with care and compassion. So if you are in the area and looking at Windemere play The Woodland Country Club instead. 😊

Play was fast and no waiting. Tee boxes were a little beat up. Greens were good.

Overall it was good day. Would recommend playing there.

Had great time course fair. Would have helped to know course better. Next time will know hazards

Will be coming back

This coarse looked awesome. The layout is great. There were glimpses of Windamere in what was its previous glory. It is set up to be a really awesome coarse. I hope the owner and staff can restore it to what it likely was at one time. The layout was challenging and fun. The greens were small, difficult to hit in regulation, and challenging. The cart paths were in extremely poor condition. It had rained a lot recently, so fairways were holding water. Bunkers were full of water and not draining. Weeds were all over in what looked like formerly pristine fairways and rough. There were maintenance crews on a lot of holes working hard to get the course looking better. I hope they succeed, because the course could be great.

Play here for the first time the other day. Interesting layout of a course. Hag a group of 4 in front of us( 2 golfers) they where in no hurry and never offered for us to play through. Greens where really quick on the front and quite the opposite on the back. Had a few areas that the ground was extremely marshy. The staff was very friendly and helpful fr9m the pro shop to the bar area. Will go again when I can.

I hadn’t played here before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Driving range was closed so that made the start a bit rough. Fairways were in good shape as well as the greens on the front 9. Tee boxes were better on the front as well. Loved the layout and the distances, I played from the blue tees. A lot of water hazards which really makes you focus. Despite light rain the day before the course was pretty wet. Cart paths are terrible. But overall a good day and I will be back.

Nice layout, but the fairways lacked grass. One of our 2 carts almost didn’t make it to the end. Had to push it up a couple of hills.

The course layout takes you over hills. valleys and around lakes. verry pretty. It was spring conditions when we played, so the fairways were not very lush. The green were good and the views were terrific.

What looks like once was an excellent club has fallen on hard times. Maintenance is an issue, one of many. I wish them better days.
