Windy Knoll Golf Club
About
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.

Consistently fun course from 1 to 18
Windy Knoll is a pretty nice course just an easy one hour drive from Columbus and one I’d definitely recommend for anyone in the area, especially if you get a nice hot rate on GolfNow! Bonus points for the par 3 third hole where I scored my first Ace.
Worth the drive!
We drove up from Cincinnati to play this course and would do it again. Interesting layout, challenging holes, and the course was in nice shape. Definitely recommend!
S L O O O O W play !! need a RANGER please
We play this course at least twice a year because it is conveniently located & is a decent distance for us shorter hitting seniors. Would play more often if the pace of play wasn’t soooo slow. We keep coming back hoping not to have the same frustrating experience as last time but haven’t lucked out yet.
Two suggested solutions to slow pace are:
1) Space tee times at least 10 minutes apart so fairways are not
3 groups deep per hole.
2) A RANGER !!!
great time
The course was in excellent shape. the pace of play was very good.
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.
