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.

In Great Shape
Drove up from Cincinnati, played on a Sunday at 12:30pm. Pace of play was quick, greens and fairways in very good shape. Saw staff sanding divots on tee boxes, when we came up he was very nice and waited for us to hit our tee shots.
Columbus golfers
Windy Knoll is a little more than an hour's drive from my home in north Columbus. It's worth the trip. The closet comparison a Columbus course is the front nine of Player"s Club at Foxfire. I enjoy this course much better, The greens are very large with much undulation.If you can get a deal on Golfnow I would highly recommend this track
Nice track
Great condition, great price. Course is playable but has plenty of trouble if you don't keep it straight. Greens are challenging with lots of undulations. Definitely worth the drive from Dayton
Great Course
Course is in great shape from tee to green..
Only issue is the pace of play.
They over book the course. Had to wait at every hit!
Too many people on the course.
Great
Course is in awesome shape, greens run true beautiful fairways.
VERY NICE PUBLIC COURSE
Way better then expected for the price. Beautiful course. Has some challenging holes.
Course maintenance is comparable to country club
The course is very well maintained. Having been a member of a country club I typically don't like playing public courses but Windy Knoll has the Cc feeling, pace of play went well, staff was friendly and courteous, course is beautiful.
The best condition I have seen it in the last 10 years!
Fun to play...and challenging! We had 8 guys in our group, scores were 68 to 94. All enjoyed it, weather was perfect for esrly July in Ohio.
Great Father's Day outing.
Even after a month of rain the course was in excellent condition. The course closed that we used to hit every Father's Day and we tried this course, glad we did. I will play again if I can find it at a good price.
Great day for Father day
Got to play on a very nice course that is close by on Fathers Day.
Best play around the Dayton area
Was a little unsure driving to Springfield to play but the reviews were good so we took a chance. Wise choice as this course was a beautiful links course that just played great. The greens were fast and I wasn't used to that but they are the way they should be. The staff is really friendly and helpful. We got out a few minutes early and was never pushed the whole morning. I would definitely play here again if ever in the area!
Great Course
Course has a great layout and conditions are really good! We had a problem with our cart and the staff was right on it and brought us a different one within one hole! Would definitely play here again!
Windy Knoll
Good course. Friendly staff. Great shape. Great place to play between Dayton and Columbus. Would recommend it highly!
Great day in the links !!!
Windy Knoll is a beautiful links style course. The course is in great condition for this early in the year. The sand traps were all raked and in good condition ( unfortunately I was in them more than I wanted to be). The staff was very friendly and pleasant. The rate of play was very good. It has a nice facility if you care for a beverage or food after your game.
76 and Sunny
It was a beautiful day for golf. Staff was really helpful and friendly. Greens have been aerated so they were inconsistent and bumpy. Fairways had little patches of different types of grass. Overall it was a good day. I would give it four stars. Windy Knoll has spent a lot of money upgrading their facilities in the last few years. And they continue to do so.
Balls flying everywhere
The course was good, however we teed off 30 minutes late and almost got hit on the 2nd by a group that didn't yell 4. And to finish the day, someone hit a ball into the parking lot trying as a joke.
The course was good, the golfers need a lesson on good etiquette
Improved
This course is continually improving. They have recently taken out some fencing and cut back some tall grass making it easier to find your ball thus speeding up play. Greens were in good shape for early in the season.
Course was in good shape for November in Ohio
The rough was just areated so you had to brush away the plugs. This should be great for the conditions next spring. Greens were top dressed also should help for the spring. Overall the round was enjoyable and we will be back. Again great for November in Ohio.
Nice greens
Would have been nice is they had an airation alert it was like putting on a beach!
