4 Star Layout, 2.5 Star Conditions

The course has a very interesting and challenging layout, though it does get a little crowded together in a few spots. There is a lot of elevation change and a stream that cuts through several holes. You need to play it at least once to know where to go/miss.

The problem there is the conditioning. the 6th green is under repair, and you play a temp green in the fairway. Several other greens were patchy in spots. All were rock hard and impossible to hold if you flew it to the green, especially in the gusty winds we played in today. Even chips just ran forever and the greens were extremely fast. Several fairways had some patchy spots as well, and many tees were pretty chewed up.

Overall if you can get a good rate on it it's worth a go. Not sure the conditions are worth full freight right now, but maybe as the summer commences it will improve. I enjoyed the layout enough that i'll go back and find out.

Horrendous

One round is all it took to remind me I would prefer to play anywhere else but this course. Lost $10 in cooler deposits because the clubhouse was closed when we finished our round. (closes at 8pm) Not to mention, a $5 deposit per cooler for coolers that tiny, leaky pieces of junk is absurd. They were supposed to mail me my $$ back but it has been over 2 weeks and nothing. This is on top of a course that was poorly designed when it was built, is never in good shape (tee boxes look like they have not been mowed in days, some greens have large bare spots, and crab grass everywhere, and bunkers, yeah let's not talk about that), and is obviously understaffed. The city of Westfield should have allowed this place to be turned into a subdivision, no one will really miss it. Do yourself a favor and just drive 10 mins east and play that other Westfield course, it is cheaper, nicer, and well staffed. And they have the nicest golf carts around.

Course in decline

In the last few years this course has been on a rapid decline. From the friendliness of the management staff to the quality of the course, everything about this course has been on the decline. It is not worth the time (expect a 5+ hour round on the weekend), not worth the money ($40 greens fee when bunkers, tee boxes, and greens are all in need of work), or hassle (better customer service needed from entire management staff). There are plenty of other courses in the area at this price point that are better worth your time and money.

Very nice course with enough water to make for a challenge.

I had not played Wood Wind in several years. The course has been improved considerably since then. Fairways and greens were in very good shape. Pace of play was exceptional in that our foursome played in four hours. A very scenic course with lots of mature trees and just enough water to make the course a challenge, If you have not played Wood Wind in a while I would suggest you go back for a solid golf value.

Disappointed with pace of play

Hadn't played the course in over 25 years when it was known as Hanging Tree GC. The course was as I remembered with lots of forced carries over a meandering creek that still presented a challenge for me, even from the Senior (gold) tees.

My wife and I were behind a twosome which was behind a disgustingly slow foursome that was oblivious to the groups that were playing behind them. Further compounding our situation was a foursome behind us that kept hitting into us.

The course was in good condition overall, and we rationalized the experience that a bad day on the links was definitely better than a good day working for a living.

Well Maintained Course

This was my first time at Wood Wind. I was expecting an average golf course. In contrast to my expectations, I experienced a wonderful golf course with a very friendly staff. I went to the course by myself and the starter allowed me to begin my play at hole four. This was convenient and I was able to play at my desired pace. In addition, the course offered many challenging and entertaining holes with difficult but fair greens.

Challenging course not so friendly staff

The course was in decent shape the greens however were very hard and would not hold a shot. The staff seem to be very unfriendly when we checked in and one of the marshals actually stopped us and let a twosome through which I don't normally have a problem with, I will let any buddy who plays faster go however they seem to know the Marshall. He called them by their first names, my guess was they were members. Then told us we need to speed up, we were on pace and there was nobody pushing from behind. Not sure where the twosome came from. All in all a decent course however I will not go back. Too many other nice courses with friendly staff to deal with that

In great shape

Course in great shape. Surprized not busier on a perfect/80 degree/sunny Friday in July. But just proves-Indianapolis has a lot of good golf courses-so must remain competitive on price.

Great course to play.

This was my first time playing this course. Our party had a great time. The course was in great condition with the exception of one or two holes where the fairways were a little torn up. But for a beginner golfer it was great. The course has water and plenty of bunkers that come into play. I will play at this course again.
