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

A good deal for a good course.

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!!

Nice course, clueless staff

Reserved (and paid for) round using iPhone app. On arrival, was told that I needed a printed voucher to prove I had paid. Had to eventually get manager involved. If they're going to use online apps to reserve rounds, they need to figure it out.

Also, took 10 minutes to get a hotdog and bottled water, then was asked if I wanted to add a tip. Really?!?

Good midweek course for singles

Played on a Wednesday at 1:30p. Saw no one else within three holes of me all day. Finished 18 in just over 2 1/2 hours. This is a well maintained course that is priced well. The first hole could be groomed more to "show" better, but the aesthetics of the course improve greatly from there.

Winding Ridge

Course was in Great Shape. The wind was strong and made the course play long. Pace of play was under 4 hours for a two some. Staff was friendly and let us go off early. The lady at Concession was the best, Great service with a smile. Ice Tea really Good.

Not my favorite course

I've played this course a handful of times. I usually can shoot pretty well her and since it's not too far out on the east side of the city and if there's a deal for around $30 it's worth the trip. At first the course doesn't appear very challenging but you quickly realize that if you're off of the fairway and on the mounds that line the fairway it can be difficult to recover. Many holes though are straight forward and offer plenty of fairway. Perhaps my biggest complaint with this course is that the surrounding area is just still being developed. The course winds through a community of newer generic homes and there are few if any trees to provide some separation from these homes and the fairway. The back nine goes into another part of the community where homes are still being built. It basically amounts to a construction site. Hopefully as the course matures this becomes less and less of an issue.

Great value and well kept course

First time playing at Winding Ridge. The course was kept in very good shape. Not crowded at all on a Sunday early afternoon. Some narrow fairways made it a good challenge.

We were impressed with the greens. It had rained 3 days straight before we played and the greens rolled so good. Of course it was wet in spots, but the course is in great shape. Staff was very friendly.

Challenging Course.

Played a quick round on Sunday morning. This course had some quirky holes on it. #7 borders on the side of comical. Cut that tree out and it would be a great hole. Overall a great experience.
