Winston Trails Golf Club

Today I played golf at Winston Trails golf club. I play there almost every Monday at 12:00 pm and book on golf now. It is usually a good experience a nice course and good pace of play in the middle of the summer day in the Florida heat. Usually when I play, I buy a small bucket of range balls to warm up. At Winston Trails they only have a medium bucket for $16.00. Most golf course charges 5,7, or 10 for a bucket depending on size. Because I am a senior and on a fixed income I usually just chip and putt only when I play at this course.

When I got to the warm up area, the range had no players on it and a half of bucket of balls that someone left. I took that half bucket and placed it in my cart. I sat in my cart putting suntan lotion on, placing my sky caddie in place. I then took the half bucket and started hitting range balls. The shop manager, Josh Davis came out and started yelling at me, he took the balls from me and accused me of stealing them from the large supply box that holds all the range balls. He says I am banned from ever coming back and playing Winston Trails again. I tried to explain to him that they were on the range just sitting there but he would not listen. Josh Davis said play your round and you are banned from this course. I then went over to the chipping area and started chipping balls that were left on the chipping area. Josh Davis sent a guy to pick up all the balls taking them right out of hitting area.

This manager, Josh Davis, is the most unprofessional golf manager I have ever met. Nasty unwilling to listen and would not come out of his little office when I tried to talk with him the second time. I have never stolen anything in my life. I think Winston Trails should change Josh Davis job to replacing divots. He has no tack and no business dealing with customers. I also like to know if he can ban me from playing the course. I play there a lot and cause no trouble.

Literally the Walmart version of the Florida Club.

Snobby starter had us wait 1 hour with no one ahead of us to start.

Proshop merchandise was done by a child it seems.

The logo could use work.

Hot dogs 11$. Condiments were 1$ extra.

Patchy greens.

Pay the 45 and just go to Champions at Summerfield or Florida club this time of year.

Course needed tlc.

First time playing here, all around great course, no hidden dangers everything right there in front of you,, proper length as well, ready to go back now with a little course knowledge

the coarse was in good shape . very nice layout. But they sanded the greens 30 minutes before we played . Made for a terrible day . No warning when I booked. The greens were so bad on some holes you could not get to the cup in 2 puts. What made it even worse was the reviews were so good I couldn't wait to play.

Be careful. Staff will lie to you to get you to come here and then you’ll find out the course has been sanded. They say it’s still able to put on it but have u tried putting on the beach. That’s what it’s like. Called in advance to make sure it wasn’t like this and they said nothings been done. I get here and it’s beach season. I was just here last week practicing everyday and not once did they put too dressing (sand) on it like they said they do weekly. Awful staff!

Great course, excellent condition, greens were great, really enjoyed it. It was a very windy day, so it made the course more challenging than it should have been.

Would have been 5 stars except for the sanded greens. Other than that great round.

Winston Trails is a very nice layout. I find it very challenging. In the middle of a hot day it was a nice round. The sale of range balls are $16.00 a medium bucket. I only wanted a small bucket to warm up and will not sell one.Also there is water at the start of whole 1 with ice. and water buckets at hole 9 but there is no drinkable water any where else on the course, very tough when it is 95 degrees in the summer. I still like the course and will play again.

The course is in good condition with numerous amenities but the 10th isn’t actually marked and you end up driving your cart through the parking lot yet at the same time they don’t allow carts in the parking lot even if you finished and unloading your back etc. and happen to be handicapped

Enjoyed playing Winston Field, course was in great shape, fairways were manicured nicely with a little bit of a second cut and greens were pristine and true…some bunkers play more like fairway sand trap, lite sand it some but not all

Staff was professional and accommodating, will definitely be playing there again
