Winding Ridge Golf Club

In the past, I’ve played this course around 10-15 times a year. This year, I won’t. The greens need a lot of work. I’ve bought the pass for the year, but I’ll just have to play the other courses until Winding Ridge gets ahold of their greens. There are several greens that are splotchy with dead grass. To me, the greens are what helps you score.. you can drive the ball great, and chip wonderful, but if don’t have a smooth green to putt on, it’s a ruined game.

Don’t waste your money! Course layout was great this course has potential but not until they get better at upkeep.

I don't know why guy gave bad review, wonderful course, well managed. Staff very friendly. New carts, course in great condition. Somebody must not have played well and it is not the course's fault or staff. I will play there again!!! You should play golf there too! See you on the links.

Had a great time and will be returning for sure!!!

My overall rating of this course if positive with some nuances.

Pros: good layout, diverse holes, plenty of “decision shots” of playing aggressive or laying up, challenging, very friendly staff, pace of play (minus the miserably slow two some in front of us but that’s not the courses fault).

Cons: bunkers were not great (not that any of us hit it there right?), crab grass and sod on a few greens, several tee boxes needed some work, maybe too challenging? (for the mid 90s golfers out there), and the DREADED “deep rough”.

A lot of holes and between fairway areas had a “deep rough” that was thick, unmowed grass. Even if your shot wasn’t terribly off the fairway line, it is likely to be lost or a 10 minute search if/when it lands there. This led to many lost balls that should have 100% been in play and understandably, more strokes for penalties.

Overall, it was a very visually appealing, diverse, and challenging course. Prepare to lose a few more balls than you’re accustomed to due to lots of water and the deep rough. Had to move a few putts to avoid dirt/ crab grass while kn greens. Staff couldn’t have been nicer though.

All kinds of shot making decisions are required, depends on how aggressive you want to be.

It has uphill,downhill,doglegs,ponds to avoid,short holes,long holes ,no flat greens and it has sand.

Price is always reasonable with course conditions very good most of the time.

The guys I play with do not like it ( all in the 70’s ) because it is too hard.

It is not ,they just need to play better.

I love it.

Thanks

Really interesting layout. Tons of water, some really tough, long holes. Few trees in play, but those that are make straight shots a premium. Played in mid-Dec., so not expecting pristine greens, but overall course was in good shape. Really fiun terrain, with huge distances in between holes.

Showed up for our tee time and the man at the counter was on the phone. Kept talking while we stood to check-in and wasn’t even talking to a customer by what I heard of the conversation. When he finally got off the phone, he offered no apology. It was amazing how rude he was.

We finally get on the course and it is in appalling condition. Greens that are torn up, fairways that would be rough anywhere else. Tee boxes that are torn to shreds and not even level. All in all it was abysmal.

The only nice thing are the carts, they offered a comfortable tour of this atrocity.

Interesting layout, has some challenges but also rather forgiving if you make a bad shot, greens were soft and fairways were in Very good condition. The majority of the homes had a pretty good distance from greens to the next tee box so walking would take a bit longer, recommend a cart. Would play again!

Used the hot deal to play 18 with a cart for $23 at 11:10AM. You really can’t beat that! I usually shoot around a 96. While this course had a handful of short, easy holes, most of them were pretty challenging for someone like me. I really enjoyed it! Sure, there’s some crab grass on the boxes and some dead spots on the green but for the money I paid I’d happily play here again.

Quite likely the worst-maintained course in Indianapolis.

Can’t expect a ton when you pay $28 for 18 with a card on a beautiful Friday afternoon in September. Course is showing a lot of wear after a long summer of play. Greens are completely baked or dead in some areas, tee boxes either looked like the driving range or needed to be mowed badly, and fairways were alright but in some areas it was tough to distinguish between rough and the short stuff. Overall not bad for the price, but not the best round I’ve played in the past few weeks by far.
