Shame they are closing

The greens were in great shape and the fairways were ok. With the closure looming over their heads they are not spraying for weeds or keeping up the golf carts. For under $40 with lunch you cannot go wrong with this course due to the good greens.

Good layout, challenging in parts

What a shame this course is closing in April 2016, we have played here many times and found it to be a very enjoyable experience, the staff are fantastic always got a smile and very helpful, visiting the area will not be the same again without Windemere,
In spite of the imminent closure we felt the green staff obviously still have pride in the course as it was in very good condition.
GOODBYE WINDEMERE WE WILL MISS YOU!!

Windermere

What a shame that the course is closing in April 2016. The course had great layout...lots of dog legs and the you had think on all of your second shots. It was obvious from the conditions of the greens and sand traps that they had cut back on help and it was starting to go down. Additionally, counter person had to be cart person also and there was no starter. Could have played earlier even though there was no one on the tee box for 20 minutes at a time we had to wait over an hour before we could tee it up. It rained the entire front 9 but once it stopped it was absolutely beautiful......Would love to play one more time before it closes for good.....

Going under?

Entering the neighborhood, many signs "Save Windermere Clubhouse and Golf Course". Appears that course may be doomed as the conditions were just "fair". Many greens had "popup" weeds, with several dead patches as well. Not as green as expected for a middle of fall day. Played under a Hot Deal, but wonder if it was to much for this course as it is.

Best golf value in Orlando

Windermere CC is the best value in Orlando. The greens are Tif Eagle Bermuda and in great shape. The course is in good shape, however there are some areas such as bunker maintenance and general fit and finish that could be better. The greens fees were what most clubs charge just for cart rental. At this price the course is a steal of a deal. Heard that the owners are thinking of converting the course to a 96 home development much to the concern of the high end homes surrounding the club. Get a round in at this one while in Orlando area.

Challenging course

Very good and challenging course despite the very wet conditions… but it need some work on some places (!). Tee boxes, fairways and bunkers well playable, greens moderate, but OK. No staff seen the whole day…

Great course!

My son and I really enjoyed the course, the staff, and even the other players we met. The course was in great shape, some challenging holes on the back nine. The only part that wasn't perfect is that our cart died on the second hole. Other than that - flawless.

Sunny Round

Course in good condition, although the greens were not that quick. Good variety of challenges and opportunities that made the round a positive experience. Nice location and very helpful staff. All in all would definitely play this course again and would fully recommend it to others.

Time for new Golf Carts

I would love to give this course a 5 star rating, but the golf carts were just a step up from the Flintstones. The staff, fairways, bunkers, and greens, were first class! Time to replace the Golf Carts. Our First Cart failed, at the first hole. Was told by staff that we might have wiggle the throttle pedal, (Seriously) !! None of the carts had parking brakes, a potential safety issue. Come on Guys,

Windermere - nice course

First time on course and playing as single is usually not good, but received lots of good advise from ranger. Course was laid out well, not boring. Lots of natural beauty. Fairways were in great shape and most of the greens. A few greens had some bad spots, and did not like the cup being placed in that area. The staff were all helpful and friendly. The clubhouse was very nice and the food was good. I would definitely play again and recommend it to others.
