Fun course
The greens were the only main complaint for me. Some beautiful tee offs and a narrow fairway. On the cheaper end of things and the staff was friendly. Wish they had a driving range to practice on prior to play.
Improvements to Winston Lake GC 2024
I’ve played Winston Lake GC since mid 1980s when Earnie was the PGA head pro. I have always enjoyed playing WLGC because the staff are polite and the course is challenging. There are changes … big differences being made to the course that I believe have and will continue to make it a better golfing experience. Specifically greater attention to sand traps, smoother green surfaces, people always visible working on the course while golfers play a round. The value one receives is one of the best as green fees are rather inexpensive for 18 holes of pleasure!! ⛳️🏌🏼♀️
Winston Lakes GC is a good value.
Great value for 18 holes on a course that continues to improve it’s maintenance.
Had a nice 20 dollar round
Was able to book this on short notice for an early morning tee time and found the course to be in better shape this time of year than earlier in the season. For 20 bucks, pretty hard to beat, really enjoyed being able to get a 7:30 tee time a night prior.
It was ok
Don’t miss the fairway or you lose your ball. Greens are undergoing repair. Cart May run out of juice before you make it back.
greens were a little slow. went through 3 golf carts all ran out of juice,
Winston Lake GC
Course was in good shape. A few greens had repairs, but most were in excellent shape. Leaves were falling and maintence crews worked hard to blow them off all holes.
Don't Book Online
Booked a tee time for 2 at 7:30 am through this site. Google said course opened at 7:30. No one who worked at the course showed up until just before 8am. They then acted annoyed at the 8 (others who also booked online) of us waiting on them and repeatedly stated they did not care what we read online. We were polite but we're met with indignation by the guy in the club house. He ultimately got it sorted out but he was not friendly about it.
Greens were really long and was like putting on carpet. Several greens has large dead spots on the back 9. Holes looked like they hadn't been moved in weeks. Driving range waa closed.
In short go somewhere else.
The staff and horrible greens is what makes this undesirable. If they were not part of First Tee I would recommend that the course be closed.
Perfect
Course was in decent shape a few greens needed some work. But overall it was really nice.
Excellent Track
The staff is amazingly friendly. Greens roll extra smooth and it's a challenging course. The practice area is top notch with 2 putting greens and a greenside bunker to practice out the sand. You will not find a better course in the area for this value.
Worst Course In NC
This course needs to be featured online as a great place to break your wrist on rocks and roots.
If you manage to get a decent shot on the green off of the concrete they call a fairway, that birdie look will be blocked by a crater on the green.
The “GM” of the clubhouse, or that’s what he called himself, was upset that we were early and when we asked to pay the extra cart fee as we had talked about in the phone call to book our time. We informed him that we had talked about it on the phone and then claimed he didn’t care because didn’t talk to him?
Ultimately this place stinks, don’t waste your money.
Will never play this again
Not maintained at all. Worst course I’ve ever played. Don’t recommend.
This place stinks
Staff is very unprofessional and quite rude. A buddy of mine and I tried it out as a last second option and I regret every cent I spent at this place. Upon entry, the GM tried to refuse my second cart I requested when booking the time and was told it wasn't an issue. Then the course is in absolute horrific condition with half the greens being unplayable. I will never be back here and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone
