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.

Improving and Challenging

The owners are obviously putting some dollars and effort to improve the course. It's still a work in progress, but it is a stern test of golf. I was a member here years ago and I really enjoy the new layout. Keep up the good work. DR

vastly improved course

I have played this course several times over the years. It had deteriorated quite a bit over time. This year, the new owner has infused fresh money and vastly improved the course, changing holes, extending some, really well done

Single rider

Had a great day overall.

Showed up early, checked in, inquired about whether I would be paired up and received a you can do whatever you want response. Since I was visiting relatives nearby I decided to play as a single.

Made it to the 16th hole before being backed up by a foursome. Made great time and had a great afternoon with my niece and nephews later that day.

I must have offended someone along the way. Not sure who, but now the course is no longer offering single reservations. As a single golfer this bothers me. I've showed up early and the golfers had already teed off, and unless the staff has made it a point to pair up the foursome, I have usually played with whoever was immediately available or alone. I feel perhaps I should apologize to whoever I had offended. I had a great day but must have trampled upon someones shoes at some point along the way.

The course was nice. The greens were a little rough from their method of aeration. It looks like they use a raking method which leaves rows on the greens. Still very playable. The fairways were exceptional. I enjoy the holes and the new layout mixes up the back nine and makes the course quite enjoyable. A couple of new dogleg lefts were awkward. It's too easy to drive it straight through the fairway. The new 17th par 5 will be quite a challenge now that I know the layout. No slope or course rating yet.

New owners have put money into the course and it shows. New tee boxes on some holes..They've extended 11 and 17...Personally, 17 needs more seasoning and should have waited opening it till' spring. But it will be a challenging par 5...Still work to do, but course headed in the right direction.

Windham of change

Called Tom at Pro shop BEFORE I booked on GolfNow and he said the new course changes were updated on GPS devices...SADLY that was NOT the case. As a 20 HDCP who trying to improve this was an issue. I have a bushnell watch and my buddy has a Garmin....NEITHER were 100%...I would say after hole 3 they were all off. I still shot an 89 with 6 pars.

The new layoff is promising. Still a lot of ground under repair...I will wait until spring to play here again. $43 for 18 holes + cart was slightly more than what I would call a bargain, but not bad. Figuring out where the next hole was with the paper signs was also a challenge. I would give it time....I also said that after I played here in May.

Good Course - quick easy round

I grew up playing this course and always enjoy it. It's nice to see someone paying attention to it again.

The pace of play was quick, the cource is in decent condition. The level of difficulty is appropriate for most amateurs.

good value

arrived a little early, paired with a couple of others, cart guy sent us off the back nine- turned out to be a blessing. Played the back nine in less than 2 hours, played the front as a single in just over an hour. Course is under construction in a few places ( the 17th is now a par 5, although no one mentioned that before we played, the new green is out of sight, around a corner), but the greens were fine. Lots of trees, the routing is a bit confusing, but there are signs. The value was good, an enjoyable afternoon. Will be interesting to see how it develops.

It's getting there

I am a big fan of the course. I'm glad to see new owners and the work they are putting into the course. I used to play here all the time but not the past few years due to upkeep. This place has the potential to be great and it looks like the new owners are taking that step in the right direction. Can't wait to see the new changes once they are complete.

Windam Club

Got a good deal from GolfNow so the price was cheap enough to try this course which is under construction. Staff was much friendlier than last owners. Lots of work being done on course which I take as a good thing to improve it. Slow play due to an outing that was in front of us, along with a 3some of very senior citizens (which I can't complain about because it's nice to see them out and about but it was VERY slow following them). Greens were fine. Fairways still have a lot of work to bring them to decent shape. Too many dirt and dead spots but it will be interesting to see after the major construction is done. Overall a good deal for a $25-30 GolfNow fee. Would not play there for the full fee of $60+ though.

Lots of work underway

The new management of this club is putting in a lot of improvements and new course features. The 17th hole will play as a par 5 and from the looks of it might soon be their signature hole.

They let people start on #10

I play this course because it is conveniently close to my home. They are doing a lot of work to spruce it up but thee is a LOT of ground under repair. That's OK because I knowingly accepted that up front. Pace of play was great on the front nine. Arrived at #10 in 1 hr 50 mins only to find that they were letting people start on #10 so we had to wait for the group that cut in front of us. This is the second time I have experienced this at Windham and I find it unacceptable.

Avoid this course

they are trying to renovate the course so there are temp tee boxes the condition of the fairways are terrible from equipment running over them. If I knew it was in this condition I wouldn't have played there. The kicker is that they are asking full price. $55.00 to play 18 holes. That's crazy for the condition it's in.

Fun woodland course with local feel.

Played here en route to Foxwoods casino. Lucked out with some 50 degree weather in late Dec. The course was packed with regulars around 10am, I was able to tee off around 11:30. The course is doing loads of construction both on the grounds as well as to the men's locker room. It's a quirky, short course but offers loads of different looks and hole types. The 16th hole (downhill 200 yd par 3) felt kind of squeezed in and some holes came into contact with the nearby roadway but otherwise nothing to complain about. Greens were actually fantastic for this late in the year. Would definitely return here again on my next casino trip. Rate is a bit high at $50 to ride (especially in off season) but the course was a great value at $30 hot deal.
