Great Course!

And not just for the value! Full 18 holes, links style with some water in just the right places. Challenging enough for novice players, but not so much you can’t enjoy it. And a few holes with perfect placement of bunkers and water to make you question, “Should I go for it?” Definitely coming back...

Windy but fun.

Played eighteen holes by Terry Schill.

The wind was howling!!!!

Listed as 23 mph but gusting to at least 40. A dollar bill flew past me on number 12 so fast I couldn't catch it.

Terry Schill drove the short par four number sixteen ant three putted!!

This course is very fun. Bring your friends and expect to have a good time. Be careful playing the white tees at 6,054 yards they play longer. Fair warning.

Good!

It's all around a great course! It was super wet grounds out today but the ball still had some bounce and the greens were nice! It's a bit of a challenging course for a beginner but definitley one I'll go back to very soon!

Challenge your best.

What a great opportunity to play golf in Indiana in December. Normally I am in Florida or Hawaii this time of year but decided to stay close for the holidays and family. Nabbed a tee time on golf now and tried Winding Ridge. I was paired with a local gentleman named Terry Schill. We played the ball down and despite cart path only rules we finished in under four hours. The course is definitely a challenge with beautiful rolling hills and lots of water to keep you aware of where you want to bit the ball. Well placed sand traps and visually perfect sightlines es. Highly recommend this value priced course.

Great place for an affordable rate

I play here twice a week when I can. The course is challenging but manageable for most skill levels. Nice fairways and greens, some of which are pretty curvy. Many opportunities for your ball to end up wet - water can be found on 15 of the 18 holes. Staff is friendly and helpful. Look forward to getting back there.

I have played this many since it open. Many improvements to the course have been made. This year seems to be the best since I have been playing, as far as improvements go. Keep up the great work look forward to another round.

Great place to play!!

Enjoyed playing there as always!! Pleasant staff. Only thing missing was the carts that have the map course and computerized tracker from hole to hole. Love playing when the carts have them. I will still continue to play. I like the length of this course as it gives you lots of par 4 and 5’s.

Disappointing

I hadn't played this course in years and thought I would give it a try. Big mistake! I had secured a tee time through GolfNow and checked in early. The staff person couldn't find my tee time until I showed it to him on my cell phone. He said, "Oh yeah, you're with the ____group and they don't tee off for another 40 minutes." I told him I knew I was early but was hoping I could get off since there wasn't anyone around (it had just finished raining). He said I couldn't do that because I had to share a cart. I asked him why and he said since I used GolfNow, I had only purchased one seat in a cart. I acknowledged that a cart does indeed have one seat. He said, "yeah, but you only purchased half of that seat". I told him that I use GoldfNow exclusively and I had NEVER been denied a cart. He then said, "that isn't true." I asked him if he was calling me a liar, at which time he chose to shut up. I went on with the round only because it was too late to cancel, but I will NEVER go back there. Oh yeah, it was 86% humidity that day and no water to drink on the course.

Lovely Day

Course in great shape if you stay straight.

Second cut and mounds pretty dry if you have a tendency to stray off the fairways or greens.

Lovely day on a nice course!

Great course especially for the price.

The weather was great and the course was in above to excellent shape. A couple of fairways were wet and spongey but it really didn’t affect our play. It had rained in days so not sure why it was wet in those areas. There were several holes that were very well laid out. Our favorite was an elevated fairway with a blind shot to the green from most likely over 150 yards out. The course wasn’t too difficult overall which helped end in a decent score.

Our only complaint was the food service. The lady there was prepping food with bare hands while taking money from customers without washing. I ordered a hot dog that was re-heated in the micro until it split open. Yuk. The chicken salad sandwich was huge and really had too much filling. There was no way you could expect to take this sandwich to go and eat while hading out to play the back. I took two bites from my daughters since the hot dog was a struggle to get down. I had to go wash my hands after trying to hold the sandwich together as it was so heavy and wet from too much chicken salad. So, all in all, I probably would have gave it a higher ranking if the hygiene was up to standard. If we were very hungry I probably would have passed up on the food.

Still a great local track

I worked at this course 15 years ago when it opened it was run by RN Thompson and his team and maintained by superintendent Michael Jordan. John, David and Karen Scott where the management team and they're still there today maintaining what is really the best value in golf around the Indianapolis metro area.
