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.

Played it many times
No matter have many times I play Windy I always enjoy it! Pace of play was excellent 4 hr round. Greens were in great shape. Bunkers had a lot to be desired…at least the two I was in. They were absent of most sand. But overall excellent course great clubhouse!
Windy Knoll
Great course for price point. Carts and clubhouse was nice, course conditions were great, well maintained greens & tee boxes.
Golfer beware
The course fairways have developed some sort of disease, fungus, ????, that is killing the grass. Splotchy patches are everywhere and increasing. Hopefully there is a solution so that the golf season isn’t affected. Traps are pretty rough also. Not much sand and what is there is packed. Not sure what was going on on this particular day but every pin placement was on the very front of each green.
Blazing hot
The course was in great condition. Love playing it! Pace of play was perfect. Finished in 3.5 hrs…and thankfully because it was hot!
Better maintenance in 2025
Tee boxes fairways and greens are in better shape than last year and being well maintained throughout the summer heat.
Perfect day
Very good condition. Greens running smooth and for a Friday the pace of play was excellent! Beer was pricey compared to other courses. Overall excellent!
Excellent condition
Was surprised with the excellent course conditions as this area has been very hot and humid at the time of play. Nice layout, no parallel fairways,etc. very enjoyable course to play
Fun course
Not a bad course but fairways could use some work . Please invest in a credit card reader for the cart person , to only accept cash is ridiculous!
First time
Good layout and some challenging holes. Traps need help and greens were pretty good
