Windham Golf Course is tucked away in Connecticut's northeast corner, enjoying a classic New England setting. Formerly known as Willimantic C.C. and The University Club of Connecticut, the original nine holes opened in 1922 and the championship golf course that exists now was completed in the 1960s. Like many of the golf courses built during that time, The Windham Golf Course's greens are smaller than on modern golf courses and they are subtly contoured. The traditional layout also features narrow fairways lined with mature oak trees and there are three that are bordered by natural spring ponds. Bunkers are strategically placed on 15 holes. The front nine provides some scoring opportunities, which you'll need before facing the tougher back nine.

it is nice to see money being put back in to the course. I have played this course since I was a kid and the last few years it went downhill. the conditions have improved this year and it is once again worth the money! the staff was friendly and beverage carts were out on the course. very positive moves in the right direction.

Commuters all around

This course was in general a nice and challenging course. However, there are some things that someone going for their first time here should know.

1. The course is set up so that much of it is run through by pretty fast moving automobile traffic. Much of the round that I played was done while surrounded by loud car noise. Also, there are a couple spots where you will need to tee off through adjacent roads that have cars passing through.

2. The course is under new management. This new management has changed the order of the holes. Unfortunately, those of us using a gps app like golflogix will be unable to get the most out of it since the app has not been updated with the new hole order setup.

3. As previously stated, the course is under new management and is also undergoing some construction. There was quite a bit of noise generated by this (which is understandable), but more important was that the place seemed kind of unorganized and confusing. I had a hard time finding the pro shop or any other facilities you'd expect to see at a golf course. Hopefully these things are improved upon as the construction gets completed.

Not a terrible experience. Worth playing. Just some things that people should be aware of in advance.

new owner/facility

Course is under new ownership and therefore they have changed some of the holes around. This created a little confusion at times when looking for the bext hole. The facilities are being re-done and by june 5th they will have the grand opening. Price for 18 with a cart was great but otherwise didnt enjoy the layout.

An ok course in ok condition

Played the U Club this morning for the first time ever. It was quite cold this morning, so the course was empty and I flew through 18 holes in just over 2 hours. The routing of the course is decent: there are a few very interesting holes - #9, 10, 12, 15, 16, and 17 leap to mind immediately. There are, however, quite a few ordinary and forgettable holes on the front 9.

The conditioning of the course was ok, but not particularly good. The biggest problem is that it doesn't look like anyone has cleared leaves in weeks. A couple of holes (I'm looking at you #9) even had heavy leaf cover in the fairways, making it nearly impossible to find even a well-struck drive. The greens were inconsistent - some shaggy, others pressed and hard as rocks - and so were the bunkers - some had adequate sand, others looked as though they hadn't been raked in months. All in all, I would say that the U. Club is a perfectly adequate course. It could, with proper conditioning, be quite enjoyable; but the course design is ordinary enough that the course could never become a truly excellent course.

For the average golfer

This course had surprisingly good greens, the fairways were average. I am saying this in the context of a public course. The staff was fine, the course was not crowded, there were leaves but no debris in the roughs. I would say it is a good course with some unusual tees but the average golfer will enjoy it

Good for the $

First time playing this course. It was a little fuzzy but overall a nice track to play. Some variety in holes. Greens had been aerated, so they were just a bit bumpy but still very playable. Look forward to playing here again

Great deal on GolfNow at about 75% off

Course has been maintained. Greens just had work done but are in good condition. Fairways and rest of course are being maintained very well given there seems to be a good amount of play on the course. I will be playing here again and watching for more specials on Golf Now.

The Price on Golfnow is a plus

If it weren't for the cheap price on Golfnow, I would have passed. I arrived to find nobody around. 2 cars in the lot. I thought the course was closed. However I had the place to myself. The front nine was being aerated so I had to play the back twice. No staff to be seen on the course. Skeleton crew must be the only ones maintaining this once former Willimantic CC. Sad to see a great course go to the wayside.

We found the course to be in good shape. As with many courses at this time of year, it could use a little attention. Greens were in good shape.

Good value for the price, but....

Was a good value at just over $1 per hole with a cart, maybe not so much at regular price. I have played at far worse places in the area. Small greens in decent condition. Otherwise they could use some maintenance. Grass growing in the bunkers, tall fronds of grass not cut in the fairways, which were a little thin in spots. Good place for beginners or for a quick round. Staff was very nice and helpful. I would play here again if I was looking for a last minute quick round to get some practice if I could get the same deal.

Poorly maintained course, but pretty cheap to play.

Broken ball washers everywhere, few yardage markers, overgrown brush, poor fairway conditions on this course. Needs a lot of maintenance. No one working on Sunday in grill, couldn't even buy a drink. Not a bad layout for practicing the game though, if you can get online bookings cheap.
