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.

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.

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.

Play Windy Knoll

The course is in great shape. It is a challenging course - a lot of mogul-type mounds on either side of the fairways - so you need to be accurate off the tee box. During the pandemic one rider per cart - elevated cups. This is an awesome course.

Windy knoll always a great track

Dodged the cool spring temps and raindrops to have a perfect day ay WIndy Knoll today. The course is in great shape, traps are playable and greens running true and fast... we were a twosome following a foursome and were never held up. Introduced WK to my step Bro n law who absolutely loved the course....the staff were very good and hospitable, they always are... could not get over how good of shape the course is this early in the year... always a tear and well worth the almost hour drive to get here. Just like driving to Eaglesticks; I don’t mind the drive knowing the course is going to be a fantastic experience, as it was at WK today. Along with a very favorable Golfnow rate makes the drive a no-brained for me.....

Really good course

Excellent value - nice layout, decent conditioning, really nice new carts. I’ve had very good food service in the past, though it’s shut down for the moment. One suggestion, there needs to be some sort of yardage markers, in most holes you have no idea of the yardage.
