SLOOooowww play

The course does tee times in 7 and 8 minute intervals so there are golfers everywhere and a wait on Every Single Shot resulting in a 5 hr round. It’s excruciating!!

Also…the 14th green is tilted so much from back to front to make it almost impossible to putt. It’s so bad the course workers have a pat answer for complaints…”use the 2-putt rules”.

nice local course

Nothing about Winding River is going to blow you away, but its a nice value course around Indy. You can still play 18 with a cart for under $50. I liked the layout and its fairly easy to walk. Nice staff. A little off the beaten path.

Excellent Value

The course is in great shape for this time of year and it offers a good challenge with lots of narrow fairways and plenty of trees. The course has some great hils and valleys with some greens sloping more than you realize at first. Always a delight to play!

Wet course made for a slow day

Because they got 3" of rain the night before, it was cart-path-only. Unfortunately the foursome ahead of us consisted of two couples that were fairly new golfers and we were stacked up behind their slow play for the first 13 holes, until they finally let us play through and then they miraculously sped up and pushed us for a few holes before we pulled away.

They have lots of staff around the clubhouse area, but no Marshal or anyone monitoring play on the course.

Otherwise it was an okay round, although I probably won't rush back to play there again this season.

Good condition

Course was in good shape. They changed some greens to get the slope back into a playable condition. Overbooked tee times. Had to wait on carts and waited at every tee box. It took over 5 hours to play 18.

Nice little course in good shape, good price

Fairways in those condition, greens had a lot of slope. If you are not a good putter, could be a long day for you. We were a twosome behind a threesome and for some man it was a long final 13 holes. Would like to have seen arrange her out there to move play along. Other than that Was a good experience, although off the beaten path.

Slow paired players

Great round and love the course, bu the pair of players we were paired with were the slowest pair my brother in law and I have ever played with. 5.5 hours is far too long for an 18 hole round.

Incredible Value!

The fairways and greens were in great shape. Pace of play was perfect — 18 in 3 hours. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend playing Winding River.

4hrs and 50min

It took 4 hours and 50 minutes to play 18!! With a pace of play that slow nothing else about the course matters. This place has the tee times set up for every 7 and 8 minutes so it’s on purpose that the pace of play is glacial!! The check in guy at the front desk was rude and abrupt as well. There is no starter either so it’s just a jumble to figure out when it’s your turn. Also…with the tee time set up NO ONE tees off on time. Your going to tee off at least 10 minute late and then take almost 5 hours to play. Who does that? Not me…never again.

First visit in a long time

The trees have grown. Yes it has been that long. Greens were in good shape. Pretty cool layout. A couple of the greens are bordering on unfair. The slope of these greens make them virtually unplayable. Good driving range right next to the clubhouse. A fun afternoon with my youngster who played the senior tees.
