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.

Pin placement challenge

Had a great cheeseburger on the patio before we played. Nice views of the 18th hole par 3. They started us on #10.not sure why. But it was ok. Course was in great shape for this time of year. Pin placement here can lead to some tricky putts. Greens are pretty fast. Challenging course with some water in play. I will play here again.

Not Bad at All

Nice course. The front nine had the bent grass fairways the back nine seemed to be mostly bluegrass and some areas not in good shape. The greens were pretty smooth and rolled at a good speed. I didn’t notice too many ball marks as some had reviewed. The grass on the greens looked maybe a little thin and seemed to have very little sand for drainage. That being said they still played very nicely as did the entire course. Not a criticism but they did not have the black tees as listed on the card. The gray tees seemed to be a hybrid of black and gray tees. Such as gray positions on par 4’s and black boxes on par 3’s. All in all a nice public course.

Back to front

Course was in great shape for mid August. They have been watering regularly. This course is a challenge but fair. Greens pretty nice except for golfers not real repairing ball marks.

Very Nice Golf Course

Very nice golf course with a great layout and well manicured and maintained while being challenging. It’s worth the drive to Springfield to play. No beverage cart while there today and not sure if that’s normal but it was hot and it’s Saturday... to nice of course not to have a beverage cart. Still a nice very good nice course

Challenging but fair

Greens were a little rough, but otherwise course was in good shape. Sprinklers were a problem on two greens. They finally stopped on a par 3 we were playing but on a par 5 we couldn’t chip or putt due to heavy sprinkling going on. They did not stop. On hole number 1 which we played as #10 guy on tractor mowing would not get out of our way until we were putting. Huge distraction trying to hit onto the green.

Great Course

I have played this course a lot. First time back in years though. I remember there being yardage sticks though so you could get an idea how far from the green you were and now they are gone. That is the only complaint I have. The course is in great condition. Still love the course.
