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 Course, Great Value

This course was in awesome condition. The greens rolled true at a good pace. Not as fast as they could be but this IS a public course. Pace of play was good given that the course was pretty crowded. Have played in under 4 hours many times here. The layout is challenging and there are several sets of tees to fit just about any level of golfer. The fairways are well maintained as are the tee boxes. In my opinion, this is best public course in the Springfield area. The horse statues and other remnants from the horse farm days make for some interesting scenery as well.

In great shape!

The greens rolled true and were very receptive. The traps were perfect. I have played this course in the past, and it by far was in the best condition that i have ever played it.

Great layout and wonderfully conditioned course

It was always a good layout but they have cleaned up the course to make it more playable. It is in excellent condition and greens are spectacular.

Excellent and challenging course

Very friendly staff and the course was in very good shape. Last time I played here, there was a gravel parking lot.... they have since asphalted and really gave the place a facelift. From the pro-shop to the grill, everyone was very friendly and accomodating. Greens were fast and rolled true......... I'll be back.

Very Well Maintained

Went there to play with my buddy on the 4th of July. Not only were we able to find a great deal to ride 18 holes during the afternoon, but the course was in perfect shape. I've played there several times and this was the best condition I have ever seen it in, and I only see it going up from here. The new owner is definitely making a concerned effort to make this place a destination. The greens were immaculate, the bunkers were the nicest I have seen in the Miami Valley, and the everything was very well maintained. Staff was very accommodating. Definitely going back soon. Not a pushover either. I'm a 3 handicap and had difficulty breaking 80.

The layout is excellent.

There appeared to be a twosome allowed out between our group of four and the foursome in front of us. This made our pace of play somewhat slow for most of the round. Otherwise it was a good day.

Course was in good shape.

You could tell they normally take care of their bunkers which I see as a major problem on a lot of courses. It had rained hard the night before we played so we lifted then ball and raked and then replaced in the bunker. The course lay out is very nice with several different types of holes. Fairways,greens and tee boxes were all in good shape.

Top Notch Course

First time playing the course and must say I was impressed. Very nice all around. The round went a little slow but got stuck behind some ladies in a tournament so that's expected. Overall very good experience, will be returning soon.

Friendly staff, challenging course, nice condition

This was our first trip to Windy Knoll this season. The course is in good shape with the greens rolling true (although a little slower than years past) with occasional bumpiness. Fairways and tees were in decent shape as were most of the traps. Really nice work in cleaning up the area behind #3 green (although it's a very tough pitch from the newly grassed area to a back left pin location!). Always enjoy playing Windy Knoll. Will return soon.

Course has been improved under new management. Enjoyed it!

I was able to play 18 holes in a two-some in about 3 hours. Course was in great shape, even though the greens were recently top-dressed. Fun and challenging layout, and the price through GolfNow was great. New ownership has the course moving in a positive direction.
