Windham Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Fourteen, par-4, 251. About as short as a par-4 gets, but attempts to drive the green are dangerous. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/22/2024

Hot Deal on GolfNow gone bad
Hot Deal was $34 under the assumption cart was included; but once at course I had to pay an additional $18 for cart, thus not making it a hot deal. Be careful with this course because their rates don't include a cart and for the condition, etc. not worth the money.
Bfly
Course is in the worst shape I’ve seen it in 3 years. Greens are ok, but tee boxes, paths, fairways- still under major reno. And they need to open those new holes.
Not very good
The course has been going through renovations for more than a year now. The front is only par 33, there’s a temporary hole with a spray-painted circle in the fairway. You’re supposed to play too as the green. The fairways and greens are ok, but the tees are pretty bad. And for the price you could play a dozen better courses near by.
Painfully Slow
Quit after 14 holes which too over 4 hours. Course is not in good condition
Very poor conditions
The course is under construction with many holes with a temporary greens or mis-marked hole numbers. This made yardage check difficult. Many leaves in the fairway. Should have been blown off first thing in the morning. Fairways were in ok but in worse condition than others that I have played recently. Directions to the next hole was negligible. So you were left wandering around searching for the next hole. First and last time I will be playing this course!
Windham Club
The course is under construction to add 2 or 3 new holes. The course layout has been modified during construction and 3 temporary holes are poor substitutes at best.
This course used to be in great condition- in the 70's and 80's it was the best in the area. The fairways and greens were ok for the most part but most of the rough on many holes was nothing but crab grass.
I hope the new holes are better and fit with the design of the original course.
Improvements are ongoing
Improvements are coming a long Improvements are ongoing Nice day at this golf course. Staff are friendly and the condition of the course is good. Fairways and greens are in good condition just might want to add some side to a few bunkers. Pace of play was good.
This is a good place to improve your short game as driver is not required on the majority of holes.Not a bad place to walk but they might think about putting some more water coolers out for the customers
The course is under construction. Unfortunately, online GPS information is not updated. It needs better signage for golfers and new golfers to navigate the course. The existing holes are in good shape, except the 3rd green. I look forward to seeing and playing the "new" course.
Room to grow
Course is still under going major changes. Got held up a lot by the club championship. Greens were inconsistent. Ground under repair areas were plenty.
Will never play here again. Majority of the course is under construction. Bunkers are gravel pits. Looks like they used a beaver to cut the grass. Complete waste of $63. Can play much nicer courses in the areas for the same price or cheaper. Stay away from this course
Work in progress
Paid $50 for 18 & cart. Course is in the early stages of re-design. Thought the timing on this was poor, and the course didn’t put out any info at time of booking. Looks like they are doing a major re work and adding several new holes and a range. Many temp tees and greens.
