Challenging short par-3

The par-3 course at Windy Hill is short with many holes less than 120 yards, but the greens are very challenging. Some of them have extreme slopes, mounds, and dips making putting quite difficult. The greens are small as well. Green conditions have been poor in the summer months.

My only complaint about the course is the tee boxes. They need to be leveled badly. On some of the tees, positioning the ball where you want it requires standing on uneven ground so the ball is above your feet.

Extremely Poor Course Management

Upon check in, we learned that this course allows more people to book tee times than they can actually accommodate and as such half of our party had to leave and the other had to wait 30 minutes just to get a cart. Staff were neither apologetic nor helpful. I would not recommend patronizing this business when so many others are actually kind to customers.

Good local spot

New owner has been putting in work to get the course in better shape.
Only complaint is the pace of play.

Very rough shape

For $21 walking 9 senior rate, not worth it. 2.5 hours to play 9 on a short course on a weekday. Most of the tees are only sand and no grass. No difference from fairway to rough. Greens the worst I’ve played. Not healed from aerification. Very rough. Impossible to putt. Lots of goose poop. The course was in better shape in February and March. Not recommended.

Decent par 3 course

If you hit the hot deals on golf now you can get some decent deals. I haven't played the full course yet, but the par 3 course is great for your short game.

Not bad for a quick nine

The price is cheap and the course is actually pretty nice for the money. There are only nine holes of regular length and even then it’s a bit short but very tight. There is also a par three course in sight if you are interested. The carts are brand new which is nice. I just wish they had a ranger out there keeping the pace of play moving. There was a pair that was slowing down pace of play to an absolute crawl. They wouldn’t pick it up and didn’t let anyone play through. But other than that, great place to play nine without breaking the bank.

New owership

It's nice to freshen up the Club house, improvements on driving range mini golf. But the course needs tons of help.

Save your money for somewhere else

Greens were dirt and crab grass. Wouldn’t play here again if they gave me a free membership for a year.

Should be half the price.

$45 dollar + service fee is laughable for 18 here.

Par 3 course might be on the up &up

I live close to windy hill and go out pretty often. In the past year or so the par three course greens were just terrible. Dead spots all over them and just not taken care of. After playing the other day I honestly think they have some hope. Just aerated so give them a couple weeks and they should be in great shape. Tee boxes are still non existent.
