Windy Knoll Golf Club is known among locals as being one of Springfield's best public golf courses. The course was built in 2001, though you would not be able to tell from its traditional links design. It manages to be a classic links golf course while still being a challenge. The site was originally a horse farm and the design incorporates some of the features from the terrain's former use. Water hazards come into play frequently throughout the golf course and there are trees and rough lining the fairways. Golfers will find many risk-reward opportunities on the course, one good example being the par-4 eighth. This hole plays into the prevailing wind and if you miss your drive, you may find yourself in one of the eight bunkers surrounding the undulating green.

Fall golf

The course was in great shape considering it was October. You have to hit good shots or the course will make you pay. That's what I like about this course.

One of the best public courses in Central Ohio.

Little upset with tee times. Course is great though

We scheduled a tee time and were forced back 40+ mins due to a high school tournament on the course. We had to wait behind 6+ full groups all needing to go off the back nine.

Not the typical set up here... usually is fine and a good course.

Weekday Escape

Took a day off from teleworking to get some fresh air and sunshine. The greens and fairways were in great shape. Played 18-holes in just under 3 hours. Highly recommend.

Great afternoon at WK

Had a great afternoon with a close friend at WK. used a golfnow promo on top of a great rate. Pace was great especially having another twosome (one walking) inviting us rhru. Course is in great shape including the traps.... they are adhering to Covid 19 protocol and all is good here. It helped having rain earlier which may have scared off others. Love the course. It is about a 50 min drive but worth it...

Nice Coarse

This is a nice course and great prices on Golf Now. However it seems every time I play here the course is overbooked and there is no starter to control people teeing off on the correct times!! I understand people play at different paces but you should not have 4 groups waiting on every tee for almost the entire round.

Good day on a good course

The golf course was in really good condition considering the lack of rain Our area has received. The greens were a little slower but rolled extremely true. There were some burned-out spots in the rough in Fairway here in there. The largest distraction was the pace of play. Our group waited on every shot the entire round. Great course for the value

Warm day at Windy Knoll

Played solo today after getting a great rate along with a promo code on golfnow. The weather was typical August.... Hot, humid, sunny and dry... I laid out my tee boxes for a 5,700 yards between white and gold tees. I wanted an opportunity to score and not always hitting woods as a second shot. My strategic tee box choice worked out well for this 67 year old. It was a true pleasure to play when you could hit iron shots to the green as opposed to woods to the green. There was a foursome on the back nine who were gracious to allow me to play thru. The course was in great shape and traps, while I didn’t have the pleasure of landing in one, looked very playable. They have all the carts set up with a plastic separator so two can easily ride per cart in compliance with Covid 19. Enjoyed the quick play and ability to score on a challenging but playable track I laid out for myself....

First timer playing this really beautiful course.

Very nice challenging course with plenty of variety of holes. This course booklets needs to be updated with current water hazards. Staff was super friendly. Easily completed the round in less than four hours.

I made the one hour drive from Columbus and will definitely come back with my buddies.

Enjoy!
