Windham Golf Course

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.....

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.

Course was great !!! Really enjoyed the layout !!!! Busy day and still played in about 3 hours and 40 minutes. Cart girl was attentive. Pro shot staff excellent !!! A great day !!

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!

I would go back. Because of the value and for the design/layout. The course conditions were average. The back 9 has a few holes that are beautiful. A good mix of easy and difficult holes.

Loved everything Thankful they were open. Staff was above and beyond. Would got back in a heart beat

Super pumped that they were open. Only thing different from the booking site was the carts, my deal said w/CARTS and we were told to walk. Didn't mind, but I saw walking tee times cheaper and would have lightened my bag if I knew this upfront.

Because of covid-19, the course asked the players to call the proshop on arrival. We needed to pay. No one answered- we tried multiple times. No answer. We played our round and then tried to contact the pro-shop - got an answering machine. We ended up not paying but felt bad.

Played The Windham Club for the first time yesterday, really enjoyed and highly recommend it. Although located “in the sticks” it’s an easy, quick drive from a variety of state roads. As a public course, their rates are reasonable and many discount golf programs list this course. The course, built in 1922, with some holes redesigned within the past 5 years, has wide, mostly evergreen lined fairways, large greens and just enough bunkers and some ponds to make it challenging. The layout is split by an occasionally used public road that has to be driven on or crossed several times during a round. The road also has to be played over on several holes but only from the back tees.

For first-time players most of the holes are easy to see how-to-play but some need a look-see or local knowledge. It would be nice if the scorecard had individual hole layouts as there are some holes with hidden dangers. The course layout meanders all over the place so attention must be paid to directional signs to the next hole. Cart paths, where needed, are mostly gravel and on many holes the transition from cart path to fairway was quite bumpy.

As for the staff, they were friendly and professional. One met us at the bag drop area and loaded our bags onto carts just like private club do. The clubhouse has a decent golf shop, nice bar and very large banquet facility, which was in use the day we played.

Finally, I’d like to inform readers that some older reviews stated the fairways had boulders in them. The only boulders I noticed were in the rough. Also, my GPS worked fine on the course.

Have played this course since family membership in the 60's, ( 9 holes) then business membership in the 80's( new back nine) and now retired (new ownership with incredible challenges on 15, 16,17 and 18) and loving it. It's now the best. A 16 handicap like myself can easily double every one of those holes and end up at the bar, wishing I had a little more mental stamina.

Green are smooth and true. rough is thick, fairways are narrow but not too long. A good short game can really help. The layout is mixed because some holes are new and others are from the 20's. The course rating and slope has recently been changed to 70.4 slope 125 for Green Tees. That seems fair.

New pro staff (Bryan Mooney) is excellent. Good control and communication.

Looking forward to 2019.

Terrible Pace of Play. 5 hours 20 minutes to play mid-day on a Thursday. Starter told me they let out a few "extra" players who happened to show up in the morning and that the pace would be "a little slow". This place was mind numbing and there weren't any Player Assistants (Rangers) on the course to be found anywhere. I only paid $24 for this round and it wasn't even worth that...almost walked off after 14 holes. And, I did play really well, so this isn't sour grapes!

Did a Hot Deal today. Haven’t been here since last year and try to hit it a few times a year. We got soaked with storms but had a blast. The course was in fantastic shape. Best I’ve seen it! Rain help many things and golf course is one of them. Staff was friendly and helpful. No issues here. They are working on getting cart paths fixed etc. greens were nice. Little slow due to rain but ran true. Be back soon!

I love golf. I am sure somebody loves this course. No bashing here. Taking 15 minutes for input. period...

pace of play, poor. Has to do with a 4 hr round vs 5. Blind shots are ok.

The scorecards were incorrect.

GPS did not work here.

The layout needs serious restructuring. WHY? One of the holes I went to the right at a bunker that had multiple anthills of approx 4 inches high. OK. now what? I see another group on a course with 15-22 handicaps off a little to my right. Immediately left. U kidding, insurance liability big time. A moderate shank and I am beaned. Had that happen in Boston, ended up w a huge welt on my calf. Believe it was hole 1 or 2.

Conditions: rename this place Fred Flintstone Golf. Boulders in fairways. A complete disaster. On one of the holes, I hit pay dirt. Submerged rock under my ball. Playing partner heard it. I take excellent care of my clubs.

Carts were filthy. Plain and simple. What else, pray tell? After 6/7 holes, cart died. OK, staff responded and were nice. No moaning on my part. After couple minutes, the cart was riding sidesaddle. #60. Reported to clubhouse. $15 for this cart?

Value: What do u think?

Layout is blind shots all over the place. No GPS and a fibbing unreadable scorecard. Updates needed for those who want to throw their $$$ away.

Waited 15 minutes to order a lousy beer. Enuf...

Final thought: I love golf and mean no disrespect to owners, club pro and staff. Place needs serious clean-up. StAY on fairway with carts. Felt like wagon train. Cart 60 needs to be removed. I am a cart guy at a club. 75 carts are super clean. Get some pride. Enuf
