No longer caters to the members

Always enjoyed golfing here over the last 12 years however the management has gone from Good to Bad to Worst. The course remains good but I'm not impressed with the golf experience as they no longer offer the meals and specials that our group has always enjoyed. Always out of our favourite beverages. Lost their chef last year so there are no real meals offered. If you plan on a good lunch or dinner, find a local place. The new management lack social, lack smiles and make the golf experience cold, even on the hottest day.

Great course worth the drive

Started on time, finished in 4 hours, not being pushed or not pushing either. Good variety of holes, generous fairways but the greens are the challenge here. Can be some nasty pins on this course. Great value, would highly recommend.

NIce variety of holes

Each hole has its own challenges and the variety makes it worthy of playing many times. The day we played it was not windy at all, but we have played when there was quite a bit of wind which adds another factor that makes the course interesting and challenging.

It's called Wildwinds for a reason

Fun Course. Staff was great. Not a long track but the relentless wind and ticklish greens sure make up for it.

It's a giggler.

Great value in a country course

Wild Winds is off the beaten track but worth the drive. A walkable course with challenging holes. Some elevation changes. Great value for the money. Fairways and greens were in very good shape. Exceeded expectations.

challenging at the tips

Play this course from the black tees as some Par 4s are short but overall I would love to play it again. It's early spring so expect wet spots on the fairways and trees are not in play yet. It you love link style golf then you should try playing WildWinds. Got a great deal with cart as well.

Nice day in the Country

With a little bit more upgrading this course would be a 5.
The vistas are great, rolling terrain very very nice.
Maybe they do not have access to more water, as the fairways could be plusher and the greens softer. No way you could stick a green, reminds me of dry South Carolina days, had to bump up on every green.
However, the greens ran true, very true, making long puts was very possible. The greens have a great deal of elevation change but once you saw the break the break was true.
If the time and money was spent to add more bunkers the difficult would go up and so would the slope.
I played blue but when I go back I will play Black.
My wife played White and had no trouble getting to the greens in and around regulation.
Back nine slowed down as we caught up to walkers, not good as there are no marshalls.

Short and challenging

Short but challenging because of fairly narrow fairways and punishing cabbage patch and fescue rough. Hit it into the rough and you'd he hard pressed to find your ball! Greens had been aerated so were rather slow. Pitching from the wrong side of the greens if you're on the wrong side would be difficult if the greens were faster. Review ratings gave a 4.7 but overall course conditions does not warrant this high of a rating in my opinion. Maybe a 4.0? Wanted to showere after the round but no clubhouse facilities.

Buck Bang!!!

I play most of my golf between Milton and Parry Sound through the season and it's always a treat to play Wildwinds!! 6000 yds feels like 6400.........6600 when the wind is up!!! Even after rain for most of the day Friday, course was immaculate and well drained........greens true as ever. Thank you!!

Pleasurable experience

It was an extremely hot day (37 humidex) when we played, so I was glad we rode. In any event, this would not be an easy course to walk. Driving up the course showed off its pristine conditions and lushes greenery. I was not impressed with the parking area.

Although I have a 17 index, I played horribly on my second round of the year. Making matters worse, the greens were aerated, which led me to shoot a 106 after shooting a 92 at Lionhead Legends a couple of weeks earlier.

This time around the greens were immaculate with a true roll and surprisingly fast; I still shot an 86. I'm sure this course would play a great deal harder with gusty winds. Don't be fooled by this relatively short course. You will be punished should you shoot too many wayward shots, as the bushes and fescew are quite thick and gnarly. Pack a couple extra sleeves of balls, if you happen to spray your shots.

I wished however that players can appreciate the great work the greens-keeper and crew had done in keeping the course in such excellent shape and took better care of the course, by fixing their divots on the fairways and ball marks on the greens. Sadly I fixed 5-6 ball marks each hole, on average; the greens still looked incredible.

For some reason, I felt that most of the shots into the green were uphill, so it worked out well that I used an extra club on most occasions. I highly recommend this course for any level player.
