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.

Excellent course
Great layout, with an open from nine great for scoring and a challenging back nine with some wicked doglegs. Definitely going to play it again.
Great Day
With all the blistering sun we’ve had the course was phenomenal. Absolutely amazing pace of play was superb
Phenomenal
This was my first time playing Windy and it lived up to the ratings. Course staff was friendly and Marshall was doing his thing even saw him repairing green divots in between groups. The course layout was fairly open on the front and built for scoring but that back nine gets tighter and really tests your shot making ability. Overall I am playing here again and again and again.
Prepaid and left hanging!
These folks are just plain dishonest and don’t care about their customers! I’ve never enjoyed a course less than this course and these people.
Scammers, don’t pre-pay
I’d love to be able to write a thoroughly descriptive review, but instead here’s this;
I prepaid Saturday evening for a round Sunday AM, $45.00. Later that night she told me her Dad needed a hand moving a bench at her mothers house.
No big deal right? Call for a refund or just get a rain check like every other course has done for me countless times.
The young man at the front desk said to just “print my confirmation # and bring it in”, since I informed him I’d rather pay extra for a weekday than deal with GN customer service.
Today the different young man at the counter said that would not work, they don’t even receive money from GN, I wouldn’t be refunded or receive a round. Needless to say I told him keep the money and enjoy it, if that’s how you do business you will need it more than me.
Diamond in the Rough
First timer today and wow what a track. Not for the weak of heart but fair. Requires you to hit from point A to B. A bit tight in spots and the greens rolled beautifully. Had heard wonderful things over the years about Windy Knolls and now I know why. I’ll be back soon.
Nice Course!
Very Nice course and in a very nice area. (1st 9 holes were not too difficult) pace of play was a bit slow, mostly due to a couple slow players ahead of me.
I enjoyed the course, the staff was nice.
scenary was nice
neighbors on course were friendly
Will definitely play this course again when i am in Springfield.
Beautiful course
You will love this course and want to come back !!
Great Day on a great course
Course is in great shape. Greens are in great shape and undulating. Will definitely be back again.
Hidden Gem
Windy Knoll is a wonderful place to play. Mant different types of holes with fair hazards. This course rewards the "go for it" player with accepting greens, and soft fairways. However if you get into the deep cuts of rough, it can be a long day. Overall a great place to play for the price.
Good course friendly staff
Course is fun to play good condition and fast pace of play. Great course for any skill level. Only thing that could use improvement is the sand in the bunkers but find me a public course that has great sand here in Ohio.
Great Conditions for late Spring
The golf course was in great condition. All the tee boxes and fairways were cut close and the greens rolled true. The greens are challenging if you miss them in the wrong positions. Course is a fair test and had a friendly staff.
Just a great course
Have played Windy Knoll for years and it is just a great course to play. It is in great shape.
Fun Course
This was my first time here and the course is in good shape and was fun to play.
