Bad greens

Greens were not in good shape. Slow, I think they aerated several weeks ago. Many greens had alot of dead spots with no grass at all.

Little slow pace.

No rangers to keep pace of play going. Two some with us quit after 9 due to the pace being so slow.

Good value Poor greens

This is a nice layout. The fairways are always in great condition and the greens are usually good. We played July 4th and the fairways were great as usual but a lot of the greens had fungus issues and bare spots. For the price this place is a bargain but with the low quality greens, not so much. I hope they can fix this problem soon. I really like this course otherwise.

Okay course

The clubhouse is being remodeled, so we were unable to hang out before or after our round at the bar/restaurant. Many of the greens and tee boxes had dead spots. The dead spots are probably due to lack of watering.

The weather was in the mid 90's, but we only saw the cart girl on hole 1 and 16.

Avoid...

Avoid...just avoid. The greens are plugged...your approach shots will turn from birdie to bogey on the greens. Today we had seven teenagers with four carts each hitting two balls ahead of us. We called the proshop a few times and people ahead and behind us were leaving... Nothing was done even when we spoke to the shop in person. I shot an 79 and the round took 5 hours...it was really unacceptable. Just avoid find a tee time elsewhere for cheaper and enjoy your 4 hours.

Terrible Greens

Dont even bother trying to putt. Greens are in the worst shape I have ever seen. I dont even know if you can consider them greens... I will not be going back here until I hear of major improvements. I like this course too...

Harsh Reviews, A Lot Better Than Expected

Played Fri at 11am. Almost didn't 'cause of reviews. Not as bad as I thought it would be, not bad at all. Greens punched week or so ago, coming back in. One or two greens not that great, but overall, please.... Go ahead, stay away, I can get in another 3 hour 18

Course conditions are poor.

The course would be a good deal if it were in good shape. The fairways are in good condition but the greens and tees are very poor. On one green the grass is missing in a spot and it has become a mini-bunker on the green.

There are too many courses in good condition in the region to waste your time and money here.

Blow it up and start over

Pro shop said course is good shape cause they have not punched the greens yet, planning on doing that in a week they said. Unless they plan on punching the greens with a BULLDOZER then they are not going to do any good. NO GRASS would be an understatement. HORRIBLE and no excuse for not being told before hand/paying.

reworked

This course is not a difficult as it was years ago. They have removed bunkers, and hazards. That said its still one of my favorites. The conditions this year does not meet years past standards. greens were spotty. Still fast, fairways and tee boxes not up to the old standard. The price reflected the conditions. what was 55 is now 25. Play this course..

Good Course to Play

Great layout, challenging holes, and friendly staff. However, the tee boxes and some of the greens need attention. Recommend this course but remember, it gets a lot of play so course needs constant attention.

Fabulous afternoon

The greens are in good shape; the course had a few soggy spots from the rain the night before. The fairways are greening up nicely from the winter brown. The narrow fairways and water hazards make this an interesting course anytime.

It was a gorgeous afternoon. I was a single and went around at a very leisurely pace in 3 1/4 hours. Great staff, very friendly.

Great lay out

The golf course is chalanging but fair

The fairways are relative narrow and like most Florida golf course water is frequent along the fairways

The greens were true and well maintain

First time player at Windsor Parke

I was pleasantly surprised with the course conditions, quite good, especially the greens and bunkers. Some areas of hard pack grounds, but then we haven't had much rain of recent. All in all, have to say I enjoyed the conditions and the day. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the layout and design of the course as well. The only negative, no ranger to move along "two" drunkards in front of our foursome. Oh yeah... golf course maintenance staff needs to attend to the restrooms... !!! At least there are plenty of trees... :)

Great Layout

This course commands your attention, but gives you plenty of room to play. It has a challenging finishing 3 holes where accuracy is the measure of success.

Well worth the reasonable fee. I will go back
