About
Winchester Golf Club is a short and sweet 5,200 yards from the tips. Those looking for length will have to go elsewhere, but if you want a quick round, this course can be played in less than four hours. The course is situated among Brooklin's gently rolling hills, which are covered by forests that are part of the Oak Ridges Moraine. The player-friendly layout is ideal for beginners. It is also a great place for kids to learn how to play. The golf course is not difficult by any means but it provides good practice. There are a few challenges spread throughout, including a fair number of bunkers bordering the greensides. Its forgiving nature and risk-reward opportunities make it a great place for golf tournaments as well.

Nicely maintained....but played thirsty
The course is open but for many holes it was challenging. We played in a twosome from the Gold tees. If you didn't hit it straight on this narrow holes you lost your ball. The course was very well maintained however. ice Greens throughout, except one which has a dead patch but you could see it was under repair. It was a struggle at times finding the next hole as the signs were not everywhere. That part was frustrating. We did finish in 2 hours and 45 min. Not many were on the course for a Sunday, but we tees off at noon and with the threat for rain and the World cup final on at 3, I bet most stayed away. It ended up with a sunny day with no rain....bonus.
I recommend this course for sure.
Hot Day in June
Played course for the first time with friends and we enjoyed the day. Smooth pace of play and good course conditions. It was a tough walk because of the heat that day. There was a couple of confusing green to tee excursions. It will be easier to negotiate around the course the second time. A perfect course for the average player. You can play all your golf clubs or be conservative.
this course is a chalange for weekend golfwers
course in very good condition, not exactly for beginners. narrow fairways with lots of trees, back 9 a little dangerous could be hit by other golfers who don't yell 4 when their balls are hit and going the wrong direction, Overall very challenging course, would play again.

trying to find a patch of grass on a few of the tee boxes is a challenge, but not as challenging as some of the narrowest tee shots ive ever looked down.. its a par 70, and the course is in very good shape (overall)
the greens are small targets, and be sure to check your putting line 3 times or more - espically at the few inches nearest the hole!
good staff and and a good, challenging round overall - will deffo return to teach those greens a lesson!
First time at Winchester.
First time at Winchester. Greens were very good as were the topographical changes. First nine was slow. The slow foursome only played nine. I could tell we could be in trouble when they were wearing sleeveless shirts. Back nine was much quicker. Still it was 4 hours. I would go back.
Fun Course, yet slow and confusing
I had a foursome out on this course, and we had booked a tee-time for 12:15. We didn't get on the course until close to 1pm as it was very busy (kind of defeats the purpose of the booking...). The tee boxes need some work, but overall the fairways and greens were nicely taken care of.
The course was very busy, and we were constantly waiting at least 15 minutes for each hole.
The course was also very confusing to get around. Hole 10 especially ... had no idea where to go to get to our balls!
We still had a great time, but only golf this course if you have at least 5 hours to spare.
Not bad
Nice little course, plenty of drivable par 4s but no particularly easy holes even though short, risk meets reward or disaster! Greens in nice shape, tee boxes need attention but other than that a very pretty and fun little course!
A pretty course popular with locals
A very nice and easy day out. Hilly terrain gives character to this pretty course. Although a somewhat short course, it has a number of challenging holes. Tee boxes were rough, hard to find grass on some of them. Many greens were still recovering from aeration but I have seen much worse this year. A good course if you have a mix of new and intermediate golfers in the group. Will play Winchester again.
Dangerous Tee and Green locations
This course even though is very affordable to what other courses charge, is extremely dangerous for most golfer due to the close proximity of tees and greens. Several times throughout our round we experienced balls flying in our direction, without even the courtesy of a "four". The majority of the tees were in terrible condition, teeing off from dirt instead of grass.
Don't even think about it
There is nothing good to say about this place
Four and half hours to play the executive course
Many of the tee's had no grass at all Some had backyard grass that wasn't even cut, which was more like un kept Rough
There was no golf course grade grass on the golf course. The ground underneath the grass was just like a backyard hitting down through mud making shots near impossible.
Poor value for any dollar
The only good thing I can say about this game was that I played with a very nice gentleman who made a very long day enjoyable
Good way to get your golf Jones out
Winchester is a popular local course. Its fairly inexpensive and not overly challenging. Its the kinda of place where you brag about your lowest score of the year. If you play regularly you will want to shoot from the golds though. they are equivalent to whites on most other courses.
This course is hilly that gives it a lot of character.
For April, this course was in very good shape except for the greens. They were very bumpy because of the aeration that was done last fall, but they will get better with a little time. The course is quite hilly but this makes it more interesting to play. The staff are very friendly and the course has a laid back atmosphere.
Course can be challenging, very unique layout
Ground was very hard, tee off went miles. Greens not in great condition or maintained, some tee off spots the same. Would not pay regular price for a round
No one is moving the play along
The staff in the pro shop are fantastic. The only problem being is that they overbook so the play is very slow. It should have taken 3 to 4 hours to play but most holes were backed up 2 to 3 deep. The golfers behind us were impatient so they continually hit into us. The one marshal that was out there would point you to the wrong ball just to try to get people to move faster; It turned out that there was a group of 6 hackers playing 4 holes ahead of us that held up play. Will not play here again unless its free and then maybe not!!!!
Fun course but busy day
I went to this course on a Sunday after it rained all day Saturday, which may have contributed to the large turnout of golfers. Staff was friendly and we showed up a few mins late for our tee time, which they accommodated without any issues. The course conditions were good, with the exception of a few tee off areas that were not maintained and were more dirt than grass.
The course was very backed up, due to large number of golfers, at times we had to wait for at least two groups to tee off before we could proceed. Course could also use more signage to indicate where the next hole is, as some holes were difficult to locate.
All holes are located very close to one another with, so there were some balls that crossed onto other courses, but wasn't a big issue.
It was a great course for the price and on a less busy day, I would definitely go back.
Good Course for Fun
This is a short course that is very playable. It is a par 70 that has many par 4s that are very short, but too long to be a par 3. It is fairly open, the kind of course that you can hit a few errant tee shots and still not lose your ball. It's fun and is good for what it is, but don't go there expecting it to be a real test.
Nice Course
Golfed here 3 times this year, nice mix of long and short holes, nice layout. Well maintained. Always friendly.
Great course for the thinking golfer.
This course is not a very long course but a very challenging course as it requires one to use all the clubs in your bag. It is a very tight course so course management is very important. Some holes are between 200 and 300 yards so taking out the driver and just blasting it can cost you some strokes if your not hitting straight or your hit it too far. Lots of different elevations so you really had to think your way around the course. I found the course really made me think each shot and was a great change from a lot of the bigger courses I have played. All in all a fun game of golf.
Course was ok, slow pace of play
Course conditions was good. Slow 4 some in front and did not have courtesy to let faster people pass. all bunched up after them. Marshal came by at 16th hole, but did not do anything as it was almost finished.
