Winding Ridge Golf Club

Just a very nice public course at a very reasonable cost. Plenty of hazards but not terribly difficult. Course is well sintained except sand traps are marginal. New carts are well maintained.

The course is in decent shape for the rough winter, though as a previous review suggested, it has the hallmarks of limited care that the ownership group is known for - I.E. muddy bunkers, spotty fairways, patchy greens in spots. It's early in the year to be fair, but those sorts of problems are found in season at others owned by this group that I have played (Gray Eagle, Southern Dunes, Ironwood).

I did enjoy the layout though. It has its share of character. There are houses but they are far enough off that it would take a bad hook/slice to hit one. The number of ponds that were there and were in play surprised me, honestly. More than usually found on public courses in this area. Lots of knobs in the rough lining the fairway and greens. I enjoyed the 6-8 stretch of the course the most. 6 was a par 5 with 3 ponds in play on the left, 7 was lay-up tee shot and blind second par 4, and 8 was a neat little uphill par 3 in the trees. The course does do something I do not like by closing with a 260 par 4 (from the whites), 300 par 4, and risk/reward par 5 ~450ish from 16-18. I can foresee this being very backed up when it's busy.

But if you can find a deal for the course it's well worth a go. It ranks up with the others in the price range, like Gray Eagle or Fox Prairie or Pebble Brook. Say hi to the friendly dog that greets you at the clubhouse too!

My home course. Fairways and greens are well maintained. Sand is typical public course type. Good layout providing average challenging ponds and mounds to contend with. Easy to navigate. Staff is friendly. Generally easy to get a tee time. New carts 2017. Well worth the fee.

course was a good challenge but the greens were in bad shape

Courses run by this group across the city are similar, thin fairways with not much grass and beat up, slow greens. The layout here is long and challenging, just the conditions of the course were not as nice as other options in the city. When you can get a good deal through Golf Now, I don't mind playing, but this course is never my first choice.

Took 3 1/2hrs to play 11 holes. Terrible pace of play. Too many tee times. Great course for the money.

Good course layout, all around a good course, hills on the edges of the fairways makes for tough shots if your not in the fairway. Not sure if the AC was broke in the clubhouse or they were saving money. Good value. 25.00 hot deal

This course has continued to grow up, we enjoy playing here and the water hazards pose just enough hazard to maintain your attention throughout the round. Even though it rained the day before the course held up to our travels on the golf cart. Check it out and I'm sure you'll enjoy the track as we do.

The staff always has an attitude problem . It seems that they don't take to kindly to golfers using the hot deals.

Really nice course in great condition, friendly staff.

This is a solid course. Nothing too fancy, but the fairways and greens were in very good condition. Probably the best value course I have played this year.

I'm from Arizona and my son suggested the course. I loved it. The fairways and greens are in fabulous shape. It's simply a fun course to play. Nice clubhouse with a friendly staff and a small cozy bar. Tables outside to sit while sipping and enjoy the view. I'll look forward to coming back. Made my res through Golf Now and the rate was very very reasonable.

This was my first time out on this course. It has a fun, playable layout that can be challenging. It's worth driving up the hole to see what's ahead of you on a shot if you aren't sure what lies ahead. There are plenty of hazards that are in play and taking a look ahead will help give you a safe target.

The greens were the only thing I had issue with. They were slow and a little shaggy which, for me, is always a little disappointing. The green complexes themselves were undulating and presented a good challenge. I can imagine that quicker green speeds would limit where holes can be set but I still prefer faster greens than we saw.

Overall, the value for what we paid was worth it and we'd probably play again for the same price($26 for 8AM on a Sunday).

this is a pretty decent course, nice layout, moderately well cared for, but it is lacking in just a few areas.
first there is no driving range so come warmed up. the greens were inconsistent but were not horrible. they just bounced between fast and slow from hole to hole. not an overly penal course although there are some really blind danger areas (down the left on #2 and #8 is cray cray- you have to play through a chute of trees to the green)

I like to play Winding Ridge with my adult daughter who is picking up the game. 5 or 6 tees (tee boxes could really be better cared for). Low tree count, wide fairways, some water but only a couple where you have to carry the hazard. This course gives me a chance to work on some things, while it is not overly frustrating to a newer golfer. Last two times I have played there, the golf cart has given out on the back nine requiring a phone call to the clubhouse and a cart switch.

This course could be great. Unfortunately it is poorly cared for. The greens are terrible. Slowest greens I have ever played on and 10 is just stupid. The fairways are mowed, that's pretty much the best I can say about them. The ranger gave us Gerig because we parked the carts too close to the green. We were at least 20 yards away from the green.

The course was in pretty good shape. It was quick moving with no one in front or behind us.

Third time playing this track. Its a great layout, and probably one of my favorites in Indy, however I will have trouble taking a foursome back there again. Every tee box was filled with dandelions, the first cut was so thick that it swallowed up golf balls, and most of the greens had a condition that made them spotty and bumpy. Play at your own risk.

Had a good time, course was in good condition, pace of play was not too slow for a weekend.

Very nice course. Challenging but fun. Very good value for the money. You need to try it.
