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.

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.

Good value. Fun and forgiving.

Course was in great shape. First time I played it - will definitely go back. Great views with some rolling hills and nice changes in elevation. Nice size greens - average speed.

Great service and only course open on Jan. 11!!

This was one of the few courses open on Jan 11. The guy there was super helpful and friendly, he seemed really glad that we came to play. For the weather the course was in great shape and was a fun course to play, well laid out and varied. greens were in great shape.

Nice layout and scenic area on the south side

The course offered a challenge with a mix of holes...long, short, tight, and open. Some of the greens were inconsistent which made it a little tough to putt. One green is deadly! My buddy had his putt stop right at the hole, pause, and then trickled and rolled 45 feet to finish off the front of the green. Wicked. I really enjoyed some of the holes along the woods and out around the barn. The pace of play was a little slow but can't complain too much for it being a Saturday afternoon. For the right price, it's an average course and worth playing once.

Great Course to play

Well maintained but tricky course. Lots of uphill and downhill shots. Strategically placed trees to mess with your mind. Beautiful views when on the upper holes. Lots of fun.

mike

i liked the course itself. the problem i had was that it was very slow and there were no rangers out to help the pace. On the 18th hole there were 4groups on the course one on the green 2 in the fairway and us on the tee. they needed a ranger out there to help the pace of play. so it was a good course but you need all day to play it!
