Hot, but fun!

The day was hot and humid, but the course was in great shape and the challenge is always there. Greens were a bit slow, but it was a Monday. Overall, great value and fun course to play.

Very Nice!

My summer golf around the US has been a great success thus far. This was the third course so far and I have to say it was pretty good!

Greens always in great shape

One of the best courses for the $ around. Don’t be above the hole you can forget about it. Good mixture of tough and easier holes. Drivable Number 11 red barn hole is my favorite. Great for all levels. Cart paths suck.

Wow the greens

Slanted greens. Almost Augusta like. Very pretty park setting. Hilly as well. I'll play it again.

Decided to play here because course was in great condition 2 months ago. Not so great now after lousy weather in Indiana. Tees and fairways need work. Greens had been recently aerated so putts would not roll well at all. Glad I got it with a hot deal!.

Dry & slow

I've played at Winding River a number of times over the years. This year I've only played there a few times. But this year the course was very dry. Today, the tee boxes were so dry I could hardly get my tee in the ground. The greens were decent, but the fairways were really dry. The pace of play was also very slow today. We had to wait a long time on almost every hole.

Playing this course was good value. It was reasonably priced. But, it felt like a bit of a case of "you get what you pay for" - The course conditions were inconsistent and poor at times. Not watered, some patchy greens, very hard and bouncy fairways and greens.

Enjoy it for the cost, maybe not the conditions.

Plan on a 5+ Hour Round at This Course

Tee times are stacked on top of each other and no martial to ensure a decent pace of play. Groups typically don’t know golf etiquette (or they don’t care). The course is in great condition but you may as well book a course where they care more about your overall experience than how many tee times they can book in a hour. That is unless you don’t mind waiting 10 minutes on every tee to hit your ball.

Course was in good condition but it is poorly managed. Tee times are stacked too closely and their is no supervision of pace of play. Five-somes are common and most players are high handicappers or don’t know / care about how many groups are backed up behind them. I’ve experienced this twice in the last 2 times I’ve played and I won’t be coming back. It’s no fun waiting 10 minutes on every tee to hit.

Very nice course

Well taken care of course. It's fairly easy. No water hazards, few bunkers, fairways are mostly open and not too crowded with trees. Fairways and greens in very good condition.
