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.

Great Stafff
Awesome greens. Staff is awesome. Great layout. Bunkers are horrendous
Pathetic
This conditions at this course were among the worse I have ever played. The Tees and fairways were awful. The greens were acceptable. Such a shame - In its day, this was probably a great course but there is no maintenance.
Beautifull back nine
Amazing lay out.
Greens were great, but no grass on the fairways.
Too early to golf
We went a little too early in the season. Course was muddy and brown. But that’s to be expected. What we didn’t expect was a groundskeeper following us on EVERY. SINGLE. HOLE for the entire round. Sitting right there behind us for every single shot. Kinda ruined for me.
Simply unplayable
I get it, it's the middle of winter. Conditions are not going to be prime. However, this course is unplayable and should be closed for repairs. There are no fairways, just mud puddles. It was impossible to play with any consistency given the conditions. The greens are surprisingly nice, but it's impossible to get there with the conditions. Avoid until spring.
Best layout in Soda City
Just a great 18 holes of golf, great and challenging layout. Enjoyable from the first tee to the last green.
Improvements in progress
Been a long time since I had played this course. Good to see they are doing bunker work. Typical course conditions in the winter, but have always liked the layout and really enjoy playing.
Incredibly fun layout
This course needs some love in terms of the upkeep….BUT it is such a great layout, especially the back 9. Literally every hole is unique. I live in Charlotte and play courses everywhere within and hour and a half radius and the back 9 of this course is probably the most fun layout around…maybe my favorite anywhere. The front is fun too, the back is just a different level. If it was in perfect condition it would be a $125 round type of course. I’ll make the drive again just for the great design
Windermere Club
My first time playing this course. The condition was to be expected for winter. It’s a great layout that I would enjoy playing over and over. Greens rolled exceptionally smoothly for this time of year. They pace of play was excellent. I will definitely be back.
The greens were perfect; staff was very friendly. Cart paths are the worst I have experienced. They need a Marshall to increase pace of play.
Great course, greens were excellent
Have played this course many times and it did not disappoint this time. They replaced the greens some time ago and boy have they come in. Probably the best greens in the area. My opinion.
Great value
Course is one of Pete Dye’s lesser known courses. Course was in great condition amid the season. Greens rolled true and were in good condition. Fairways and tee boxes were also in good condition. Other than some minor construction on the first hole the course was great. Highly recommend playing the course.
Fall Conditions
I'm sure in prime season this course is excellent. At this time of the season ( grasses have gone dormant) the course was rough. I would love to play it in season.
Beautiful Residential Course
Played after a gap of 6 months. The Course is in excellent shape for the price. It is a beautiful and challenging course to play it if playing for the first 5 times.
Overall the course was in good shape. The greens were awesome, the best I have seen them over the past three years. Will definitely be coming back.
Love the course
Great layout and greens were in good shape. But …got stuck behind a captain’s choice tourney and last 5-6 holes took forever. Great course. One of my favs in midlands …
