Bring mosquito repellent

Bad weather, quit after 13 holes. Course in very good condition. Lots of rain past week but still able to use cart. Well drained. Had to get a blood transfusion after playing due to mosquitos -- never seen them so bad!!

Winding River GC

I played WR on a mild 55 degree day the coarse was in great shape. I could see White River through the trees on hole 5 (PAR 5) in the back since the leaves had fallen, had a great round and a lot of fun. Nice coarse for the money; I'll play WR again next year.

Good course m

I always love winding river. It was a weird day weather wise so not a whole lot of people on the course. Greens are being aerated so greens were a little funky, course overall was in very good shape for being November..

Great Day

I always enjoy Winding River and for this time of year the course and weather were good. My only problem was with there being no ranger out, some people were not courteous. We were a twosome and had to wait every hole on a foursome who had no one in front of them. Thankfully at the turn we went ahead as they got something to drink.

Second time playing here this season

I had to come back to pay this course again because it beat me down last time that I was here. The darn greens are so difficult! A few holes into my round, the temperature dropped and the wind howled the rest of the time. I had a great time and will certainly return again.

Interesting country course

Not exactly easy to find. Nice country course with fairly wide fairways, and heavy rough in spots. Not very long, but very small greens. In addition, many of the greens have pretty severe slopes, so you have to be putting uphill or - watch out. Pretty hilly for central Indiana - a lot of up and down the same set of hills. The day we played the greens were very fast, so along with the slope, it made 2 putting a challenge. I will play it again. No GPS on the carts so bring your own.

Wonderful experience

Mu husband, daughter, and I really enjoyed playing this course. If was a beautiful course. The people in the proshop were fantastic. One of the carts started to run out of juice on the 7th hole, so we just called the proshop and they immediately came out with a new cart. We wish the course was closer to our home, but we will make the the drive out there again!

Decent for the money, but cart was a problem

I had never played this course. The staff directed me very vaguely to a cart. They gave me the key but all "ready carts" already had keys in them. The only one without a key is the one I picked which was in the general direction of where I was pointed but seemed to be one that needed to be turned in. Nevertheless, This was my cart. I noticed by the end of the first hole that this thing was out of juice. I essentially had to try and push the thing around. Not fun at all. Yes, I would have returned to the clubhouse but thought maybe it would be ok. It was really bad, had to try and find ways to get it to where it needed to be.

I felt like I was always under the gun trying to contend with this low-battery power cart. I ended up losing my lob wedge. Now, that is not the cart's fault or even the course but it added to my frustration as I felt like I needed to make up time due to the cart.

The course is nice with 3 tees very elevated from the Fairway which is pretty cool. Hardly any water or sand but it is fairly long at some 6300 yards from the whites. Many people don't fix their ball marks ion the greens but that is not a reflection of the course.

The cart paths are pretty busted up and the direction can be vague. I might try it again but was overall not real impressed.

Changes at Winding River

During the spring this course was the best that I played but during the sumer they must get so much play that the course conditions have declined somewhat. Some greens have rough spots. Fairways are in good shape. This is still a great course for seniors and the placing of the senior tees give a chance for a reasonable score.

Winding river

Course was in good playing condition except the rough was long and had some clumped grass from waiting to long to cut. Greens were soft and very receptive yet rolled at a good pace. These conditions can be attributed to the fact that they have had a lot of rain the last couple weeks. Staff was very friendly and we had a enjoyable round of golf.
