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.

Great Course

It had been a few years since I played it, and maybe because I had played it in the fall, but I could hardly recognize it. The clubhouse was closed but I’m pretty sure it had been renovated since, and the course was in great shape, especially from what I remember. Fun layout, tee boxes and fairways were in very good shape, a few bunkers needed work, and the greens were slightly aerated, but it’s early April. Especially when it was $15 on a Hot Deal time, you cant ask for much more. Great course!

Fun course

Bad condition right now due to aeration but normally very good condition. Greens are firm and fast. Lots of good holes...tight in places and lots of room in others. Overall, a fun course to play.

Love this Course

Windy Knoll is a very nice layout and somewhat challenging. It's not a long course but the holes are set up with doglegs, slopes with some hazards that make it a shot makers course. The staff is friendly and professional, the price is very reasonable and the course is always in great shape.

Windy day at Windy Knoll

Sun, rain, wind, doesn’t matter; I love this place. It’s the closest to playing a true links course you can get in central Ohio not to mention the Stable Bar & Restaurant is a great spot to hangout post-round and watch groups test their luck against the pond protecting 18 green.

Great fall day at the knoll

Spent a great fall day at windy knoll with a friend. The pace up to the 12th hole was fantastic. Then we ran into a brick wall. Not sure why. There were a number of two somes and one single in the procession. But, it seemed to just drag on, not sure why. Needless to say the scores reflected the slowdown and wait on each hole. This will not deter my affection for this marvelous course. The weather did not get out of the fifties even though low severities were predicted. A great price plus a reward made this deal very entertaining. Had a great day all things considered...

This place lives up to its name

The wind was horrible when I played and ruined the round. Had to be 30-40+ mph winds in my face constantly. On certain holes my 250 yard drives would go about 150 yards. The Marshall said it was typical weather for the course. Overall the fairways and greens were in good shape. The greens were very fast tho playing in the afternoon. I’m not a person who typically leaves reviews for anything so that should tell how bad the experience was.

Very nice course

Great course, greens were showing late season wear and tear. Mostly people not repairing their ball Mark's. Fast greens worth the drive.

Fun golf course

Didn’t like it the first time I played it about 10 years ago. But, the more I played Windy Knoll, the more I liked it. Always good shape and fun to play.

Worth the drive.

Played 9am prior to a charity tournament in 3 hrs. Staff had my cart ready for me when I got there. It's a 45 minute drive but my favorite course in the area on GOLFNOW. Great layout with lots of variety.

Windy was perfect

Played with a bud in re afternoon taking advantage of a great rate and an afternoon reward. A little bit of a drive to Springfield but we’ll worth it. Weather was ideal with little wind. The course was immaculate right down to the raked sand traps....pro shop staff was very friendly and had a note wanted everyone to attempt a four hour round. There were onsite rangers whom I called upon to deal with a 6 em. Although the 6 em has already invited our 2 some through and then were addressed by the ranger. The ranger asked if we were invited to play through, which we were.. We had a three hour round. The traps did come into play and were properly maintained. This course is well worth the travel and green fee paid. No disappointments....
