The Windermere Club

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.

The course has a wonderful layout with some visually pleasing holes as well as some challenging ones as well.
However, the course could use some maintenance. The grass was thin at times, with some "hardpan" on most holes. If the grass was not as sparse, the course would be, and could be, a really great course!

The course was terrible. The fairways were brown and did not provide any playable surface. The tee blocks were in very poor condition. We expressed our disappointment with the staff who wer dismissive and have obviously received similar comments recently. The Maters week is clearly a cash grab to in order to prepare the club for its members.

I liked the layout here-plenty of variety but the course was in poor condition (except for the greens). And since it was Masters week, we paid a premium to play here. Fairways and bunkers need significant attention to bring course to quality level.

I'm not sure when the other reviews were written for this course but the course was in bad shape overall and for the money it was not a good value at all.

Since it's still early April the fairways at this course have not turned fully green as of 4/07/13 Still lots of brown spots and so,so... conditions.However the greens were in really nice shape already,green and fast. In a matter of a few weeks,maybe days of some warmer weather this course will be great. Golf now saved our group about $20 per man,would go back there again.

Course was in great shape for this time of year. Greens were in excellent shape, very fast and undulating.
Would love to play the course in the summer when everything is grown in.

We played the Sunday before The Masters so it was busy, but we never really had to wait to play on any hole other than No. 1 and No. 10. Nice layout, challenging but fair. Would definitely play it again when in the area.

Best course in Columbia, SC, cannot wait to play it again!

Fun course, need to play the correct tee box or you will lose some balls. Several great holes, challenging and scenic!

The course was well maintained and it offered several challenging holes. This course has several blind and deep bunkers throughout the course. The greens offered very quick but challenging putts. The rolling hillsides around the greens require some very tricky lofted shots to make par. I would rate this course more for the mid to low handicapper for a more enjoyable round. Windermere does offer some great views around the course.

This is one of the best courses in town. Requires demanding approach shots because of speedy greens. Tees are set from 6000-7000 yards providing a challenge for all skill levels. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were in excellent shape. This is a must play course.

We decided to play this course while visiting Columbia SC on November 8, 2012. Found it on web for a great fee. Not very crowded that day and play moved smoothly in spite of not knowing the course. There are a few tee shots that you can't see the landing area. There is lateral water, lots of mature trees, and the sand bunkers are in the spots to make you think about them. This is a fun course as it called for strategy and course management. There is a 260 yard par four dog leg right on the back nine that I want to play again. The 150 yard barber pole on this hole is actually 100 yards to the hole and up hill to the green. However, there is no indication of that until you get to the pole. We played it thinking the pole was 150 yards from the green not 100 so the fairway traps came in to play. We liked the place and the staff was helpful. It was in late Fall condition with some greens damage and the fairways were thin. There is a very nice club house building with a bar and dining area for a casual lunch. We'll play it when we get the chance traveling through the state.

Hilly fairways and many sand traps,water and other hazzards. Well maintained and large and fast greens.
