Windy at Wildwinds

Overall course in good shape, greens very quick (however golfers need to fix their ball marks, fixed many on every hole) Fairways around greens very shaven so very tight lies, putting was definitely wise choice when into the grain. Front was slow waiting on every tee, opened up on back. Round was just under 4 hours. Definite challenge walking with all the ups and downs and distance between a few holes. The player I was teamed up with walked and it was his first time playing here and said would not walk it again

Amazing place which has great variety!

Always love this place. Been three times and always had a beautiful day. Not sure how they know! Staff is friendly and great conditions. Offers good variety.

It's true to its name and gets very windy!

I don't think it's the longest of courses. If you're advanced I'd play from their Black Tees. Blue and white are not that long overall. This place is great for those trying to break a 100. But again if you're advanced I think you'd like to play the blacks. The course does have some challenging greens and approaches if you've never been which I find great.

Overall good challenge and always love coming here.

Excellent Course for its cost

I have been playing Wildwinds for years. Just too mamy Canada Geese on the final hole and on the 29Aug2024, there were an extremely large flock of seagulls before the 17th. hole.

These birds make it difficult to locate your ball sometimes.

Tee Time

It was a great experience, the course is well kept and everyone was friendly. The only thing I would change is the kitchen closing at 6pm haha, all in all it was a good time and the cart was provided so I'm happy!

Scenic and enjoyable course!

Wildwinds is a well laid out course with lots of challenges. Course is well maintained and the staff are great from the first hole to the 19th looking out over the landscape with a beverage in hand you won’t be disappointed.
