good value for money spent
Maintenance had allowed the rough to overgrow resulting in a lot of clumped grass in the rough. Placed me in the middle of a morning league outing that prevented any fluid movement on the course. Greens well maintained and only concern was allowing the rough to get too heavy before mowing and leaving way too much excess grass off of the fairways.
winding river, .
Nic and would play the course again.e local public course with moderate challenges. Weather was good, greens could be rolled, some rough was higher than normal but overall course played well. Staff was very good
Great Course and Great Value
got it as a hot deal, course is fun to play and has some challenges for intermediate golfers. for late April course is in great shape, greens solid speed. Love the course and will most definitely play again
Fine Time
For this time of year--with the rough winter and recent rain and wind---the course was in good shape with barely any debris on greens.
Winding river
Very open and forgiving course. Still early (March) in the year but was in pretty good shape. Greens were fast. I shot an 84 which is low for me, normally shoot high 80's low 90's. No starter, just got in line but still started at designated time. Very busy that day, I would go back.
good value, wide array of skill array, confusing layout but scenic
My friend and I rode 18 on a Sunday. Pace was steady, but not crowded. No water, a few sand traps, and a good amount of trees along the fairways. A couple of the greens were chewed up as well as some of the tee boxes. Otherwise, the course was in pretty good shape for a city course. One of the relatively newer and nicer city courses in Indy. Nice scenery, a lot of rolling hills. Good value overall.
This course was fun to play.
The course was fun to play. Tee boxes were being aerated which made it a little muddy, but overall experience was good. I will be coming back.
Diverse features
The fairways were well maintained, the rough could have been a little lower cut, greens& tees were average, and bunkers were in reasonable condition. It is well worth the money, challenging, and a fun place to play.
Do Not Golf Here!!!!!!
Management does not conduct themselves in a professional manner. Course had weeds and looks as if it has been neglected. This will be the last time I will hold at Winding River.
Nice course. Very nice staff. Carts need maintained.
Course is in nice shape. The greens are in good condition, not great condition, good condition. Very nice staff. Good overall experience. Some money needs to be spent to maintain the old golf carts.
Simple Improvements woudl make a big difference.
Slow play was due to a group of four allowed 3 carts and still played slow. The greens had a lot of bare sports full of sand making putting hard. The rough had a lot of dead grass clumps making it difficult to find a ball.
Dissed
Showed up as a single to play 18 ; was paired up with 3 guys who made it clear they didn't want an outsider to play with. Two of the three weren't following the "collared shirt" rule. Two other guys did volunteer to let me play along with them; failed to tell me they were only playing 9. They left, and this would put me behind my earlier "pals" who dissed me. Left with a bad taste in my mouth.
Beautiful Rolling Hills Old Style Country Club Golf Course
A beautiful rolling course with a lot of old growth trees and flowing fairways which are extremely well kept. Traps were very playable but the greens are just intolerably slow. The keepers are currently dressing and aerating the greens so they should play much better in the near future. The course management is aware of the problem and told us what to expect before we paid to play which is always an appreciated gesture. It is an absolutely beautiful course to enjoy. We'll play the course again I hope. I wouldn't want to walk it, but riding it is enjoyable even though the cart paths could use some work. But hey it's Indiana and this golf course is a great place to play if you like older style courses with mature trees. I recommend it to anyone that is looking for an enjoyable golfing experience.
This course is challenging and in the best shape I've ever seen it
Pace of play was consistently paced even though the course was busy. Greens were in good shape and fairways were in best shape I have seen at this course.
A course that incorporates the lay of the land
The course was in great shape. The greens were well maintained and challenging. The grass off off the fairways was cut low, so that shots were not difficult to hit. This is a well laid out course that incorporates the lay of the land with several challenging holes. A good drive rewards you with a second shot that is free from worrying about trees on most holes.
excellent course
the course was in excellent shape, the greens were in the best shape of any golf course i have played this year
Dangerous and Hard to Navigate...
Overall the course was in decent shape. Good Hot Deal on GNow made it acceptable. But I can only rate it a 1 of 5 stars. Where Winding River GC loses its appeal is in its poor design layout and set up. This was my first time playing, so it would be better a 2nd time, however that will not be happening as it was almost impossible to know where to go or where the next hole was, the cart paths had no markings and led you away from the next hole at times. Several times the path would cross right in front of the next tee box (Someone could get killed!!) and several other holes had blind tee or approach shots. On courses where alot of HH or beginners play, having these type of holes and possible situations only leads to SLOW PLAY and is NOT SAFE! Better deals are available on GNow....look elsewhere.
Old Gentleman at front desk was super friendly and extremely helpful!

Great elevation changes for the flatlands of IN
This is one of the true courses in the city area that has great elevation changes. The value you get when buying online via golfnow is great. I played today with two people from Muncie and they loved the course as well.
Needs work
I think they have there priorities mixed up. The course needed mowing and they had 2 people mowing and 3 people cutting up a tree that was no where close to being in play. The course was covered in grass clumps that needed to be knocked down. All they had to do was drag a chain between 2 carts or drag a piece of chain link fence attached to a 2x4 behind a golf cart to knock down the clumps. It just seems like whoever is in charge of the grounds crew needs to start taking there job seriously. I will not go back these year at any price.
