Winchester Golf Club

My tee-off time was booked for 3 at 9:15am. We checked-in, and the starter/cashier told us it was being moved to 9:22am and that he only saw 2 people checked in...after resolving that issue, paying and getting our cart ready, it became how busy the course was already. 9:50am rolled around and we still hadn't teed off yet. Realizing this was going to be a 5+ hour round and the fact that I had to be somewhere by 3pm, I had no choice but to get our money back and leave. The marshall had appeared at the first tee for a brief period, but I had no idea what he was doing there. There was no way we were going to enjoy that round, and the cashier/starter even tried to give me a rain check instead of my money back, like I was going to come back.

As much as I understand it was a Sunday morning and it was a gorgeous day out, you can't just jam people on the course like that and I'm glad we made the decision not to start. At 9:15am you shouldn't be 45 minutes behind already, there's no excuse for that.

The attached photo was how it looked 15 minutes after my scheduled tee-off time. Rest assured I won't be going back, and I hope this helps you.

Half the tee-boxes were in garbage shape, 1 of them had you teeing off from artificial turf on a couple of skids side by side with the art.turf on it the greens were lousy at best lacking grass on them spots of dirt ,chunks out of them. overall I will never play this course again, for the money the value was not there.

Nice compact layout...good country course for seniors, beginners and higher handicap golfers. Started to rain after 9...but we had lunch, the weather cleared and we were easily fitted in for the back 9.Tee box condition and hole signage could be improved but greens and fairways were well maintained.
All enjoyed the day and this course's challenge.

Played 18 holes with my wife. She enjoyed the course because she found at least a dozen golf balls. I believe she thinks that's how you keep score.

If that was the case I was sorely whipped.

This course isn't too long, but there is enough variety to make it interesting and fun. A couple of the greens and one fake tee need attention, but overall the value is good and we love it.

This short and easy course could really benefit from some attention to the tee blocks. Several were short on grass and on one we had to hit from a mat! The few ball washers there were had no water or towels. Due to poor signage we got lost between holes a couple of times. The upside was that we played midweek and virtually had the course to ourselves.

a great course for the average weekend golfer as yardage length per hole is realistic to make a par on.

Waayyy too many people booked for this course - 20 min wait times to tee off are not acceptable - pace of play is impossibly slow. This course is very narrow on most holes and NOT for beginners. Crossing fairways to get to your next tee block is totally ridiculous. It's way too dangerous - safety is not a top priority with these folks - its all about jamming more people in and getting a hold of their money. Proof, if its too good to be true......

We arrived before our scheduled time and were told we may go earlier than scheduled. Very friendly pro shop attendant.

decent greens. Layout a bit dangerous i.e. tee blocks proximity to greens & overlapping fairways. Good value but should be played in 3 1/2 hrs or less.

but several greens were in need of work. Too many holes with dog legs without enough options. Tough to know where to hit it on the first time playing

It's in the worst condition in years, Tee boxes are very uneven and in bad shape, bunkers very hard, less then 1/4 '' of sand (need to be tilled) , some greens need grass in spots and the pace of play for a course less then 5000yds from the back tees was atrocious .

Needs some work in Tee off areas, uneven grassless areas

I try to play this course at least twice a year as it is a somewhat challenging course, as I shot 18 over par, my brother, who is a decent player , shot 4 over par.

short course from whites. we played the gold tees and found it quite challenging. The tee boxes need work and they had an employee seeding while we were there.

Whinchester is an enjoyable smaller course. Played with a good friend and our wives and it was a lot of fun. The course is short enough to be very playable for the women. A mix of challenging holes with several easy par 4's that are reachable. $90 per couple with carts included on the weekends is an acceptable deal but in my opinion due to the shortness of the course and its average condition its worth $70-80 per couple at the most.

A great value for money round. The proshop staff was warm and friendly. Paired with a nice couples. Fully enjoyed the round under beautiful weather condition.

Though we played most of the game in the rain, the greens were very fast. The fairways do require some maintenance but since the end of the season approaches I'm hoping things will improve in the spring. The course is moderately challenging and requires some imagination on certain holes.

Great value for this course. Would be nice if they had a net setup so you can warm up with irons

no marshall, tees are not good, some hokey holes, carts are dirty
