Horrible booking.

I schedule a 8:50am tee time as a single. I get to the course and there is an outing getting ready to start, 17 teams of 4. Now normally when a place books an outing they close it down to the public for a certain amount of time, not these money hungry people. Then to top it off I get forced to join a group of 3 that spoke very little english and we couldn't communicate. It was the worst round of gold I have ever played, almost 3 hours to finish 9 holes. I didnt even bother with the other 9. Would not recommend this course to anyone.

Nice to play the course again

The course was in good condition, even after some rain. The pace of play was very slow as there were some groups playing extremely slow. Overall it was a good golf day just slow going

So so

This course definitely has potential, but is in desperate need for some upgrades. Traps are like concrete, and cart paths are almost gravel. Definitely a $25 course.

Not Great but not bad either

First time playing this course, it is a 55 min drive for us. We were not thrilled that we drove so far to play this course.Its a good community course, so if you live in the area will be good to play on a weekday evening or some low key weekend. The course has bunkers but they are mostly not it play or even maintained very well as they probably don't see much action. No water in play either just straight up holes layed next to each other except 1 hole. Greens are well maintained, grass overall is well maintained.

Worth the $

The course was in good condition specifically the greens. The fairways and parts of the rough could you some water. The staff is friendly and the golf carts are in great condition. The cart paths on the course are in disrepair. I played during a outing and its slow the pace significantly. Definitely worth the money.

First time at Winding River

Can’t think of a single complaint. The greens are in good condition and provide a fun but challenging putting experience. The hilly landscape of the course provides many opportunities for scenic views that we often found ourselves pausing to take in. The pictures on here do not do the course justice in my opinion. I’m on a journey to play all of the courses in Indy, and this course is one I’m looking forward to coming back to.

Great change of pace

Loved the rolling hills and elevations of this course. Many of the courses in town are flat and narrow, but this had plenty trees, doglegs, and hidden fairway areas to make it fun. Will definitely play here again.

Great course for value staff, not so much.

Winding River Golf Course is a great course and lay out, besides a couple of not so great fairways and bunkers the course was in great condition and the greens rolled true. However, as we made the turn And got to the 12th tee we were waiting on the group in front of us when we heard a loud whistle and we didn’t pay any attention to it. Then we heard it again and we turned around and two golfers were finishing up on 11 green and were whistling at us and motioning to speed up play. Well, we couldn’t because the group in front of us and then the two drove up to us and it turned out that both of them worked at the course. All three of us in the group found it very unprofessional that the staff whistled at us. Then he told us there was a “tournament” right behind us and we needed to hurry up, but we were playing pace of play and couldn’t help that the group in front was taking slightly longer than usually to find their balls. That was a lot to type, but we just thought it was very rude to pushed by two staff at the course when they can play any other time I’m sure.

Great Rate For a Pretty Good Course

Found a real good rate on Golfnow. When we got there we figured the rate was good because we were going out behind the women’s league (sorry girls, no I’ll intent meant). However, the women didn’t slow us up one bit. They stayed up with the group in front of them and we tried to stay with them.

Will make this my "Home" course!

This course is such a quality course for only $30 for 18 holes w/ a cart. The course is well taken care of, it is always near capacity, yet the pace of play isn't bad. After golfing around other nearby courses, I think I've found my "home" course where I'll golf most of my rounds. Keep it up, Winding River.

Good Value for your Money

Based on paying $30.00 to ride 18 holes, I would definitely recommend this course. The layout is well-planned with several holes that give you a chance to be aggressive at a risk or lay it up for the one-putt par. Greens were well maintained and relatively challenging, but fair.

Tee boxes could use some work in places, and some of the bunkers could use more and better sand. However, my biggest complaint (and the reason it doesn't get five stars, is the crazy amount of mosquitos on the front side (near the ponds). They really need to treat this water and/or put in some swallow bird houses. There were about four holes that we were literally just going up and hitting our ball quickly because of this.

Otherwise, great course and I would expect to be returning with my buddy again.

6 hour rounds

horrible scheduling. 15 foursomes teeing off between 11am and 12pm. Course looked nice, but wasn’t willing to tee off 45 minutes late and play a 6 hour round...
