Great value at $25

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.

This course is really fun to play and in great shape.Fairways and greens are in excellent condition

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.

Fun course, slower greens

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).

just a few more things

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)

Ok Weekender

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.

Rough

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.

Dandelions

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.

Great course but:..

I have to say I really was caught off guard by this course.. It has a nice look at the club house, the course is maintained enough. The only down side is some of the greens have patches of moss growing on them.. Other then that I'll be going back many more timrs

Tough in windy conditions. Back 9 greens are a real test for high handicap golfer. Overall a good course in very good condition.

challenging course.

The course was good condition. Greens and fairways were good. It was raining the day we played so it took away from the total enjoyment.
Over all it was a good course to play. I would definitely play it again.

Good value

Winding Ridge is always one of my favorite courses in Marion County to play. The course is in relatively good shape although some greens were torn up (fix your ball marks please!) pace of play can sometimes be a problem especially on the back 9 because there are some drivable par 4s. But overall the value is great staff is friendly and the course is challenging and fun.

Played on s Sunday, weather was perfect and the course was in pretty good shape. They left time around tee times so we were able to move pretty quick. Played 18 in just over 3 hours.

Winding Ridge

the course is in good shape, the guy at the counter always seems to be bothered by golf now tee times.
After finishing the front nine I found out that they had let a girls high school team (16 players) off the back. Not wanting to wait or play thru 4 groups I ended my round. I understand the team has to play but why on the back in front of groups making the turn? Very disappointed at the way those are managed and not communicated before the round.

HELP

played behind some travelling league they were very slow would not let people by them made for a long drawn out day that took all enjoyment out of our round I think management should have a course marshall to make sure pace of play is kept to a better standard the course was in great shape should have been an enjoyable day but it was far from enjoable

Winding ridge

Good golf course greens are medium speed with lots of undulations. Pretty well kept a few interesting holes. Only complaint would be how soft the greens were but we had rain and 70 degree weather for a week so I'm guessing that's why. Shot 73 and putted well but to make putts you need to be below most of these holes.

Par for the course!

Nice fairways, greens. Played in league about 8 years ago on Fridays, glad they got rid of the heather on the mounds in some fairways. Makes course more enjoyable to play. Shot +1 on front, -1 on back.......Great day!!! Will be back! Some tough pin placements, but that's why it's a challenge!!
