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.

fun round

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.

Decent Course

I've played this course several times based on location and price. It can get pretty chewed up through out the year due to upkeep and play. Overall it has some fun holes and if you can play for $20-$25 it is well worth it. Just go in expecting that some of the greens and fairways will have some bad spots. Luckily I played early spring and it was probably best shape I've seen it.

Great deal for the price.

I like this course. It's never in the best condition but it's cheap and the holes are challenging. The white and black tees are spread out far enough so, as a senior, I'm not temped to try to keep up with the long hitters in my group. Players I've met have always been friendly. The staff is crothchety but in a good way. They treat everyone bad so you don't feel isolated.

This is a nice course on the east side.

I enjoy this course and there are some challenging holes. My only problem is the distance you have to park your cart from the greens. It really makes more sense to just walk the course.

Great Course for a beginner like myself.

The course itself is good and challenging for a beginner. It does get backed up and we were waiting at almost every tee.

The course has a good layout, but needs much work.

Course needs a lot of attention, when on the course there were three carts that i saw died out, on the 17th hole my friends cart died. Would I recommend this course no!

VERY Challenging greens!

This is a fun course to play, but be prepared to lose strokes on the greens. They have some ridges and contours that are nearly impossible and because the greens are so dry, the ball doesn't hold. They should water them down more. The marshalls are young kids and have no clue about customer service and some of the foursomes don't get golf etiquette. They don't play ready golf. Overall we enjoyed the course and will be back!

Great course, great value but no marshal to help with pace of play

We played this course on a Saturday mid day with possibly 25 cars in the parking lot...so not especially crowded. We found the course to be in great shape and a great value for the $30 weekend rate we were charged. We were a twosome followed by another twosome and then two foursomes. I only mention this because after three hours on the front nine, we stopped in the clubhouse and over heard the foursome playing in front of us mention to the staff that there was a problem with the slow playing foursome in front of them. I didn't here the reply. At the 13th hole, the slow playing foursome was just reaching the green. The foursome in front of us were in the fairway, we and the other two foursomes were waiting on the tee [ the twosome behind us had already given up on the 11th hole and went home]. We were at 5 hours at that point. We and one of the foursomes skipped to hole 14 and saw that there were 4 holes empty . SLOW PLAY with no marshal or member of the staff to take the time to see how their course was doing on a weekend. The 10 people i talked to will never come back to the course. Overall, the course was very good but we will never play there again either. What a shame.

course is not what it used to be

greens need mowed shorter/ slower than slow, sprinklers on in places that don't need to be watered. rough is like playing on the moon (rock hard). Sad that course has come to this state. Used to be very nice 2 or 3 years ago.

Could use a bit more water

It was a hot day... 95 degrees... and the course was moist in some areas... but on whole the course was baked... if you miss the fairway who knows where the ball will go... if it hits hardpan you might as well be playing on the parking lot.

And i'm thinking there must have been a tournament over the weekend because the pin placements were some of the toughest i've seen.

Course has gone downhill...

This used to be a course that was kept in good condition. The fairways are very spotty and the greens are filled with ball marks. The staff act like they would rather be somewhere else. There are too many courses around to play a course like this.
