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.

Great
Love playing this course we play the sliver so it's long and a challenge
Great challenge!
Course is interesting to anyone who loves golf. It takes many types of yardage and turns into the long distance shots along water and the greens are not easy to read. You will improve your game or high score it.
Nice Layout and Course
Bunkers need attention. Beware course opens at 8, If you have an early tee, be prepared to not hit beforehand or schedule accordingly.
Definitely Play Here.
I've been wanting to play this course for years and finally made it happen. If I had known how good this course was, I would've played it multiple times a year. Don't be like me and wait 10 years to play here, just go do it. I will take the thank you's now.
Go to course
One the the best courses in the area, and the fair prices are just a bonus. I love the layout and the reversal of the two 9s. Windy Knoll also has on of the most underrated patios around.
The people are nice, the prices are competitive and the golf is great.
Great value
Hard to believe you can play this course for this price. Very friendly staff, great layout. Better bring your best short game and keep the ball below the hole.
Awesome
Love the hot deal, great course condition for early spring can't wait to play it again. Great service and experience at Windy Knoll
A stallion of a course
Always a pleasure to play there!!!
Excellent course, love it
Great course, love playing it when ever I am in town, great price for the value.
Very good course, possibly a slow day.
The course was in good shape with fast greens and tough pin placements. Weather was great. There was a twosome in front of us holding us up and wouldn't let us pass, so I definitely see pace of play as a potential issue as there was no ranger out. Overall though, a really nice course.
Fair test requiring your A- game
Choice of tees is essential here to match your skills appropriately for maximum enjoyment. If your index is over 18 don't try to be a hero and play from the tips as this course will swallow you. There's plenty of enjoyment from any set of tees.
A great day for golf
Windy Knoll is always in great shape. Both fairways, & greens are very nice. Greens was a little fast from what I remember. This course would be a good value at full price, but with the hot deal on golf now it is unbelievable. This is one of the best courses in Ohio.
One of the Best Values Around
Played on late Monday afternoon, was sent off the back 9 because of a college match on the front 9, and was able to get through the course before sundown. The layout is has some interesting elevation changes and mounding, which adds some variety and challenge to the course. 18 is an excellent finishing hole, a par 3 over water with the potential for some spectators on the restaurant's patio. Speaking of the restaurant, it is quite good with a variety of dine in food and beer options at reasonable prices. The only issue I have were that the fairways and some of the tee boxes were recently punched and there was no warning at check in, but I'm not going to hold that against them cause that's golfing life in Ohio at this point in the year. The greens, however, were lightning fast and very firm, making putting and chipping very tricky on these contoured greens. It's overall a very good choice for a round in the Dayton Area.
mistreatment by management makes us sad
A group of 4 women were dropped in the middle of a high school tournament this morning.. Had we been told upon booking (which we did via phone a few days ago) that there was a tournament going on we would have played another time. We knew instantly the boys would catch us so we skipped a couple of holes. We then found ourselves intertwined with spectators and parents the rest of our 9 holes. Not a very pleasant experience. No culpability on the part of the owner, or apology. His manager was equally as rude and condescending. When I told him I wouldn't be back, he told me that he didn't want us to come back. Very professional and customer service oriented..NOT. Too many golf courses in my area to see to go back to this one. Only redeeming factor was the restaurant and the friendly service there.
Worth the drive from Columbus
I wish this course was closer to me because I'd play it all the time. Very interesting layout with several interesting/challenging holes. I've played 8-10 times and have never payed more than $40 and have never played a round over 4.5 hours, even on weekends. The greens are very very firm but large. I'd say this is one of my favorite to play around Central Ohio area because of the value and character of course. Worth the drive.
Slow Play
After starting on the 10th the back nine was fine, good pace, but at the turn, going to 1 to finish 18 it went downhill. I'm thinking the people in front of us didn't start on 10 but on 1. They were the slowest golfers I've played behind this year. I guess the issue is where was the ranger to speed them up.. It just takes away from the game.
