Winding River Golf Club

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.

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.

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.

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.

Golf course is a great place to play had a good game also the course is in great shape will be back to play again

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.

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...

Well maintained course with very friendly, helpful staff. Greens are challenging!

Course layout is fun. Greens having been recently punched were in fantastic shape. Not a long course but without a flat green to be seen, it is challenging. I would and will play again.

Good layout. Not spectacular. Ground very hard. Needs some maintenance. Greens were OK.

Enjoy this course very muchOther golfers you like to play a nice course the greens are wonderful the fairways are wonderful and the second cat is wonderful enjoy the place I do

We play here once a month or so and was a nice round as expected.

Everything had been mowed and maintained. It was a warm day and dry conditions. For being late spring, the weeds are mostly under control.

Only saw a rough patch or two in a couple fairways. The fairways were not cut super short, but easily differentiated from the rough and good.

Most of the greens are in great shape. Only a couple greens had excessive ball marks, and one or two had some spots that needed love. The grass is seeding, so grain direction was important. Balls rolled pretty quick. Most greens have a pretty good slope to them and break heavy.

Tee boxes were in great shape and maintained, other than broken tees needing picked up and stepping on a few in the ground.

I like playing here. Layout is challenging and the trees can get you if hit into them. We usually go for the Golfnow Hot Deal and the price is right!

Get to see some various wildlife at times as the woods and river sets to the east and south of the entire course. A few scenic and pretty hole layouts.

Our tee time was set directly behind a shotgun start scramble. I guess they made their money on our hot deal...after 3.5 hour front nine we had to call it.

Could have sent us off the back. Not an option from the guy at the counter who had no time for me. Didn’t even have a cart for us. See my previous review. Why did I go out there again?

It’s just not worth it - terrible customer service.

Winding RIver has a classic design with smallish tilted greens. I liked the layout as it had some character and required some different shots, especially in the heavy wind we played in. I was a bit surprised how hole 15's fairway was exposed to the driving range, so we had to dodge a few while there. Main gripe about the layout: hi-tension power lines ran through some holes, and were even in the fairway on 6.

Main tip: Don't go above the hole. The conditions were very firm. Had to bounce it onto the green, even with a wedge in your hand or it was going off the back. Greens were pretty quick. The rough and fairways show the scars of the rough winter. Rough especially was patchy at times.

Overall, for the price it was ok. Don't go in with high expectations and you can enjoy yourself. Just don't go above the hole.
