Windy Knoll Golf Club
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.

Windy Knoll is always enjoyable
Great weather, good pace of play. Only issue in course condition was the first hole fairway. A large swath of turf is currently being replaced and was roped off. Of course, my drive was right down the middle in the dead turf, LOL.
The greens were pretty quick but had quite a few un-repaired ball marks. (no fault of the course, just lazy golfers). I just booked another round for tomorrow. See ya there.
The course was miserable this date
It had rained most of the week before this and play was cart path only. There were many large areas roped off that you could not play in or ride your cart in. That made for lots of walking between ball location and cart path. Having to move your ball from the roped off parts of the fairway, over to the side, resulted in having to hit from a less advantageous position — resulting in a less optimal final score.
In Windy Knolls defense, I have played there many times in the past and the course has usually been in great shape. The wetness, overseeding and large roped off areas and cart path only combined to make it a very miserable experience. And the course wouldnt allow me to reschedule my paid Golf Now voucher. NOT HAPPY AT ALL!!
Grounds crew is doing a great job.
The greens have been maintained pretty great this summer considering the amount of play the course gets. They are even speeding up a little again. Keep up the good work!
Goose!!!
So why are there 100 geese on number 1 and 9? That is no exageration! They are destroying the grass around the pond and the rough/fairway on 9 and there are droppings everywhere on both holes. I cant decide if its more gross or sad... They also decided to aerate the greens, again... They were soooo slow it was ridiculous. I have played here before and I have never seen it in such poor shape. They put up signs that says to fix ball marks. There is a ranger that just drives around and looks for golf balls. Why wont he fix ball marks on the greens since he wont encourage the slow group ahead to keep pace! The fairways are so patchy, and only some of the bunkers had sand in them. This was not worth the $45. Get rid of the geese, mow the greens, fix the fairways. Save yourself $20 and go play Reid North!
Still awesome
Haven't been there for a few years but course is still great. We had to stay on cart path which is annoying however it keeps course nice. Greens held and putted great. Fairways good. Worth your time for sure.
Fun course, some concern about conditions
Windy knoll is always a fun course to play. The grass on the course has some strange fungus looks like; not sure what thats about, but just noticed this issue this year. Colors of the grass differ throughout the course and different types of grass throughout, almost looks like weeds or something. Value ok for the money compared to other courses in the area.
Pace of play was ok for a Sunday. Greens seemed to be slower than I remember than a few years ago. The clubhouse and snack bar are great, excellent job!
I'll be back in a month or so to see if the conditions improved.
Great Layout
Windy Knoll is one of my favorite golf courses in the Dayton/Springfield area. It has a great layout with a nice variety of holes. It has some really challenging par 3's, especially #13 the long downhiller. The course was in great shape when I played. Only negative was the goofy ranger who decided to walk up on the green and stand by the flag as I hit my approach shot into the 1st hole. Not sure why he thinks that's ok or needed...he should of been ahead of me trying to speed up a few slow groups. Still can't wait to come back and play again!
one of my top 5 in the Miami valley for under 30$
Through GolfNow or other specials you can normally golf for $30 or under 18 holes in a cart. full Disclosure I was able to get a hot deal off golf now for $14 a round after taxes and fees it ended up being 17.47 per person. It was hot and dry the day we golfed and the course played like it was glass. I was able to get 2250 Yards More roll out in the fairways and the greens were rejecting anything that had any paste to it whatsoever coming in. But I absolutely love this course it was 95 degrees but it was still Breezy enough that it felt cool or at least bearable. The food at the turn is really good they have a small menu for golfers that are needing to make a quick turn but they also have a full restaurant, club sandwich was good but a little pricey. If you want to work on you're putting on greens that have major brakes and are rolling what I assumed was 1 million on the stemp meter. This is your course. The rough was not too bad but once you got to the third and fourth cuts it was by by golf ball. I have played this course for over 10 years however a few years ago they switched the nines and now you end on a par 3 over water downhill not a fun shot especially when the prevailing wind is normally in your face. It used to end on a nice long par-5 that was a fun hole to play. I wish they would switch them back in his kind of dampened my excitement for this course
Windy knowl
Nice course
Well maintained for a public course
Greens very large
great course
Windy Knolls has the look and feel of a private course. Great layout and challenging links style course. enjoyed playing here and will play again.
nice course
everything fine except 2 carts cut in (not from behind us) with 2 golfer with no shoes and no clue as to what they were doing.
Great Course Worth the Drive
We have played this track several times and the staff couldn’t be nicer or more accommodating. We like the course and always have a good time. It is worth the drive from Columbus and we will definitely come back.
All around great course and friendly people.
Course was in great shape...good pace of play...and
very friendly people...as always... Had pizza after the round....Good Stuff! Thanks.
Great course
Great course and very well keep. Fast green but not too fast that they can’t make putts.
Globe Golfer
Course was in great shape considering it is early spring. Greens rolled well and in good shape. The pro checking in was not that friendly. I was 10 minutes late because I made wrong turn exiting highway 68.
