Winchester Country Club

Wish the golf shop would have told me they just punched the greens a week before. Nothing about it on Golfnow either. Fairways were not country club conditions. Muddy in lots of spots. Challenging layout, great views from the clubhouse. Nice practice facility. Overall I’d like to play it again just not at that price tag.

The course didn’t lower greens fees or advise on GolfNow that they punched the greens. Played first three holes in 30 minutes. So the punched greens were frustrating… but pace was solid. Caught up to a tournament on hole four and it took us 2:15 to play the. next six holes. So on pace for a 5 1/2 hour round. So we left after 9.
The staff offered a free 9 holes next time we came in… but coming up from LA to play 9 holes in Meadow Vista… not likely. Not one to normally complain as we played the last hole with a few members of the club who were waiting as well in the group behind us. They were lovely. Apologetic of our experience and that we just got some bad luck. Overall beautiful course, just want the new ownership to know that they should either force tournaments to speed up their pace or don’t offer tee times behind a tournament. Golf etiquette 101. You better high green fees to not have these things happen. If you charge a reduced rate for punched greens and slow play… then can’t much complain.

The fairways in some spots had wet dirt and no grass and many fairways had very little grass. It was not worth $150 rate. Greens were in great shape, very fast.

Never seen something so expensive with nothing to offer. Greens were trashed and the whole course was a joke. Cart girls didn’t have anything

Outstanding golf course with great greens. Fairways a little beat up

it is under new management and the staff was really friendly. The course wasn't in good shape, the greens no one repaired the divots and fairways needed some love also

Major construction and renovation of the clubhouse under rumored new ownership has diminished the food and beverage services.

However, the course is in excellent shape as always and its a pleasure to play!

Check in Club House staff have no smile and didn't suggest where the range and putting area is located knowing that I'm not a member of this Private Country Club.
And being Asian (surprised him?) to come to play at this Club?

I felt that he should have the courtesy to "suggest, ask or tell me "where the location are at (big area and private club for members, but open to public on this week)
Have to ask other golfers about where the location is at. Other staffers were very kind and courtesies.

Our tee time started right after 3 group of tournament players and was dragged out to a very slow pace.
Two group of 2 some even caught up and pair up and play as 4 some as all of us had to wait on almost every hole as the tour players were slow in their play.
When finished we were over by 1 hr as according the GPS tracker /monitor. Tee time started at 1:30pm and didn't finish until 6:45pm. Long day.
Well maintain course but a bit disappointed at the whole round and the price was higher than its valve.

I'll not play here again at that price (even on weekday). Suggest to be max at $80/round on weekdays.

Thanks if you're reading this and forward my comments to the Club.

This course is now allowing public play again. Conditions are pretty nice and the design is challenging but fair. Greens roll well and are not too fast for some pin positions used by the course. Worth playing.

first time playing here. A bit out of the way (though close to I-80). Beautiful scenary. Very hilly course. Some very steep cart paths and yes, you NEED a cart - some very long green to tee trips.

The course was in great shape. Greens are VERY fast and uneven/hilly. Makes them challenging, but in a good way - not necessiarly a bad way. Some fairways have very unforgiving out of bounds - but again, keeps a golfer honest!

The pace of play was very good. Did not see a marshall, but one was not needed, so it worked out.

A very good day of golf.

Great course. Always enjoy it. Glad to see it’s open to the public. We will be back!

This was my first time playing this course. What a beautiful course and peaceful place to play. The course is very fair and if you play the slopes on the fairways and greens correctly your ball will find a way to the pin. I highly recommend this course and is a must play for anyone.

Had a great time there. First time experiencing this challenging course. Will definitely be back

As you approach the clubhouse, looking down at the 18th and 10th fairways, the beauty is amazing. The entire staff that I interacted with were kind, courteous and friendly.
The course was in great shape, the greens were in perfect condition and very difficult - not a flat surface to be found.
I enjoyed the beauty of the course and the playing conditions - an all around great experience and i will return!
