Nice course

This course surprised me. It was priced really good and was in excellent condition. The greens were a little long and slow, but all in great shape. Will go back soon.

Fun course

Haven't played here in years. Great grass, tough greens. Practice your approach and putting cuz its gonna matter. Beautiful course with some weird layouts occasionally but definitely worth a trip if you're in Indianapolis. I'll be back this summer for sure. Great course for you if you like your driver.

This course is enjoyable to play and is in great shape. I was pleasantly surprised with the green quality and the tee to green lushness. There are 2 holes that play a little quirky but dont really detract from the overall appeal. I find the back 9 to be a much more enjoyable layout. For the price this is a great option. Well worth the money.

Fun course

Winding River is a fun course to play. Challe ging enough but enough short holes to try and post a low score. I have played this course for years and have always enjoyed it. Pace of play depends on time of day. Avg round in peak time is 4.5 hrs. But off hours easy 3.5. Greens are fast in summer, and leaves are heavy in the fall. Bring bug spray cause it is near water and mosquitoes can be an issue. Overall enjoyable course, I only wish they would hold and amatuer stroke play event. That would he cool.

Winding River

Biggest issue I have is with green complexes and tee boxes. First the greens. Most of the greens are built into side of hills that have zero flat spots, keeping the ball below the hole is paramount. If you leave above the hole stopping your putt or chip is practically impossible, hole 2, 9 and 14 are great examples of this. You must know where to miss. Tee boxes, all par 3 tee boxes where indistinguishable from my own lawn which I mow at 3 inches, ok I did exaggerate but hitting flyers was the norm on par 3’s. Fairways where manageable as was the rough. Hope so his helps the next group.
