The Windermere Club

After seeing the reviews and course rating, selected to play this course on Golfnow for an office outing. Boy, were we disappointed. Checking in, young man behind the counter was friendly and courteous. After my group all showed we hit the course and was amazed by the condition the course was in. Many areas needed mowing, to include some tee boxes, fairways were ok, but the greens were the biggest fail. It seemed no one repaired divots, there were literally holes in the greens from the flag stick. Several greens had brown, patch spots, and several could have used a cut. The pace we played was ok until a group of younger men, to include the young man that checked us in came onto the course at #11 while we were teeing off on #10. This caused the pace to slow drastically. They were very slow and inconsiderate. I've played many public courses in the area that were in much better condition for far less price. Will not play again!

Good for the price. The replay cost was low. Played alone, only passed one group and played 32 holes in 5.5 hrs. Beautiful hole layouts. Tee boxes need work and some patchy spots on a few greens. Great clubhouse. I will play again.

I played this course on a Friday morning and finished my round in 3 hrs. It was fairly empty, fast pace of play and a very nice course layout. The greens were in good condition with a few dead spots here and there. Overall, a great experience and I'll definitely go back and play again.

This club has it all. Challanging course, friendly staff and reasonable greens fees. Will definately be back there soon!

The greens were in great shape. The course is challenging and adventurous. Great course to play on for golfers of any level!

Course was extremely dry when I played due to lack of rain, but it was an enjoyable experience. Since fairways were dry, the ball rolled and rolled...that's not a complaint.

Water comes into play on several holes and as with many Dye courses, the layout is pretty challenging on some holes.

Would play again.

The architecture of the course is great, however the maintenance and overall up keep leaves a lot to be desired. Even on the driving range, we had to wait for additional range balls (and there were not that many out on the range).

Very good course, fun and challenging at every turn. I would definitely recommend this course if you live in the area or just visiting. ASM- Md

Challenging holes----visually pretty course...hooks around the lake on 17 and 18. pLAY IT.

Great staff, really nice facility, course is well maintained-best greens have played all year!, and challenging but fair.
Truly a country club attitude without the pretense, treated us like members!
Great value as well.
Really nice weekend of golf in Columbia,
I would recommend to any golfer at any level.

Beautiful and interesting course with challenges off the tee, and around the green depending on the hole. The staff is extremely service oriented and friendly. The range and practice facilities are great, and the course is maintained in awesome condition. When we play in the evening the course has always been wide open.

I play this course several times a year and it was in very good shape. A couple of fairways and a few greens need some attention but overall I'd give it a solid 7.5/10 with 10 being Augusta National.
Greens were a tad slow but rolled very true with the bent-grass greens. I love bent-grass vs bermuda. Bermuda grass is for the golf course super, not for the golfers. Bent grass requires more attention and water but puts so much truer than Bermuda ever will.
Windermere is a great venue with a super clubhouse and friendly staff. Give it a play and you'll be glad you did.

I am not a very good golfer, but those who are, this course is still challenging. The distance is about that of the Pros. The course twist and turns. A lot of hazard. I think this course is a good judgement to see how you prepare your mental game. It was very challenging and a great course. The greens were aeroated, but still look a lot better then most course. In all this was excellent course with the friendly stafff as well.

I love this course. The greens is like walking on carpet. Very well kept. This is one of the best courses I have experience. Grade A+++

I really enjoyed Windermere. Course was in great shape. Will difinitely be going back in the near future.

Excellent course. Excellent conditions. Excellent staff. We thoroughly enjoyed playing here.

Great location and great value.
Oceanfront which is nice, especially on a good day. Greens are well maintained. Only thing I would suggest is maybe trimming the rough, it gets a bit hairy!!

Greens were in excellent shape.
We played just after a rather heavy downpour
and the course seem to drain well.
I would definitely go back and play again.
One of the best courses in the Columbia SC area.

Excellent greens, not overly difficult. Good mix of challenging and forgiving holes. Everyone was exceptionally friendly.

Staff was very friendly and gave a lot of info about the course. The course layout is very scenic with lots of water views. Greens are a deal breaker for me and these were top notch and well maintained. Totally would recommend this course and will be going back soon when the opportunity presents itself.
