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.

17

1st time playing Windham Golf Club. Course layout is straight forward with generous tree lined fairways. Trees do a nice job framing the holes but don't come into play for well placed tee shots, so there isn't much trouble off the tee for straight hitters. Greens were moderate size. Fairways, rough, and greens were in good condition on most holes. Course maintenance needs to be improved to receive a higher rating, still many small tree branches scattered about in the rough 2 weeks after tropical storm Isaias, cart paths & tee boxes are in tough shape.

Hole 17 is a very poorly design hole IMO, a real head scratcher. A challenging hole but really poor design due to proximity to 16 green & 18 tee. A former par 4 made into a 5 starts with a tee box that is too close to the 16th green & has you hitting along the green & across a road to the fairway. The green is tucked behind the 18th tee box and not visible until your ~ 100 yards from it, a bunker in the layup area must be carried to have a clear line to the green for your 3rd, layups on the center/ right side of the fairway short of the trap will leave you with a choice to pitch forward ~ 40 yards or hit over the trees & 18th tee to reach the green.

Golfnow price was $16 for greens fees (walking) for a Wednesday morning tee time,

Not worth 38$

Walked 18 for 38$ .... even though it was advertised as 30 on the website and GolfNow.

Isaias just rolled through yesterday but they had not touched the course. Debris literally everywhere.

We played from the Blacks, and they alternate what Par a hole may be based on the tees you play from. ( just put them further away for gods sake )

Just not worth 38$ on a weekday afternoon. Greens were OK. Course not very well manicured outside of the debris either. Just disappointed probably won’t be back.

My new favorite course

I got a hot deal on a very hot afternoon. Because of the heat the course was pretty empty and I breezed through playing by myself. It has a good mix of scoring and challenging holes. It was a very good value.

The staff were real friendly as were the people I met out on the course.

I will definitely be playing here again.

Great value

I booked a hot deal on a very hot day (mid 90’s). The course was pretty empty because of the heat so I breezed through it. It has a cool layout, some challenging holes, I liked it. I definitely will be playing here again.

Good layout, well maintained for the amount of traffic

Played Saturday mid morning. A little chaotic getting off the first tee. I liked the layout and the accuracy required on many of the 2nd shots. Greens were in good shape. Good local course but I wouldn't travel too far to play this track

Nice layout

Had a nice time playing this course yesterday. The greens are a little small but in very good condition.. some of the pin placement we're a bit strange they were on a steep slope so if you were putting downhill it was very hard to stop the ball unless they went in the hole..The par 3 range in difference from pitching wedge to 3 iron as they are 110 to 210 yards. The closing holes are not easy and 17 requires 3 good accurate shots to make the green..If you stay out of the rough you should have a good round..Would recommend anyone to play here.Cart girl came around often. Pace of play was a bit slow but to be expected on the weekend.

Great course for the money

Reasonably priced and in good shape. Few difficult holes to keep it interesting including some long par 3s. I enjoyed the pace of the greens, they looked and felt great. Tee boxes were cut well and very well maintained. The ground was very level, I never felt uncomfortable at the tee, and never felt drowned in divots.

This is not the easiest course to walk. 18 holes is usually tough, but there are a few decent walks between holes to make it a bit tougher. It was difficult keeping up with the twosome with a cart , especially by the end.

All in all great round, glad i tried out the course.

Getting better all the time

Played here today on a drizzly Friday. Course was in great shape overall. Greens were running a bit slow but true.For some reason hole 17 was not updated by GPS but other than that a great round overall.

Quirky layout but great fun

Have played here multiple times this year. Walkable, although good exercise. Pace of play is always good. Pretty easy course to play well. Worth a trip or if close. Good value.

In nice shape

The course was in very good shape. Greens were a bit slow but in good condition and fairways trimmed well. Noticed bunkers were raked by staff and looked clean of debris. Its a nice track and we played a great pace. I play the black tees so the par adjustment makes it a challenge to hit par. Well worth the discounted price online.

Did not include cart as stated

Overall the course was good and well maintained but not sure if I’ll be back. I booked on golf now as a hot deal which stated cart included. The only reason I booked at that price was that it said the cart was included. When I get there the course charged me an extra $16 for the cart because it didn’t say it was included in the confirmation email. Definitely felt cheated out and surprised they didn’t give it for free when the same thing happened to the people before us.....

Great place. Glad I found on gn

Midweek afternoon was able to sneak out. Have played 2 other times but walked both. Little rough walking(with pull cart) but played great on a cart. Hooked up with 3 others and they were all over the place, but still a great afternoon. Did take longer, but pretty sure that was due to their refreshments getting in the way of speedy round. Nice course. Nice layout.

First time here

We went here during the Covid-19 crisis. Because Massachusetts courses were closed. The planning was easy did it all online through Golfnow paid in advance super convenient. We arrived at the course called into the clubhouse to check in and we were off. Played in four hours twenty five minutes mostly because of our own pace of play. Didn’t have to wait for the group in front and were not pushed by the group behind. Excellent experience!
