Interesting country course

Not exactly easy to find. Nice country course with fairly wide fairways, and heavy rough in spots. Not very long, but very small greens. In addition, many of the greens have pretty severe slopes, so you have to be putting uphill or - watch out. Pretty hilly for central Indiana - a lot of up and down the same set of hills. The day we played the greens were very fast, so along with the slope, it made 2 putting a challenge. I will play it again. No GPS on the carts so bring your own.

Wonderful experience

Mu husband, daughter, and I really enjoyed playing this course. If was a beautiful course. The people in the proshop were fantastic. One of the carts started to run out of juice on the 7th hole, so we just called the proshop and they immediately came out with a new cart. We wish the course was closer to our home, but we will make the the drive out there again!

Decent for the money, but cart was a problem

I had never played this course. The staff directed me very vaguely to a cart. They gave me the key but all "ready carts" already had keys in them. The only one without a key is the one I picked which was in the general direction of where I was pointed but seemed to be one that needed to be turned in. Nevertheless, This was my cart. I noticed by the end of the first hole that this thing was out of juice. I essentially had to try and push the thing around. Not fun at all. Yes, I would have returned to the clubhouse but thought maybe it would be ok. It was really bad, had to try and find ways to get it to where it needed to be.

I felt like I was always under the gun trying to contend with this low-battery power cart. I ended up losing my lob wedge. Now, that is not the cart's fault or even the course but it added to my frustration as I felt like I needed to make up time due to the cart.

The course is nice with 3 tees very elevated from the Fairway which is pretty cool. Hardly any water or sand but it is fairly long at some 6300 yards from the whites. Many people don't fix their ball marks ion the greens but that is not a reflection of the course.

The cart paths are pretty busted up and the direction can be vague. I might try it again but was overall not real impressed.

Changes at Winding River

During the spring this course was the best that I played but during the sumer they must get so much play that the course conditions have declined somewhat. Some greens have rough spots. Fairways are in good shape. This is still a great course for seniors and the placing of the senior tees give a chance for a reasonable score.

Winding river

Course was in good playing condition except the rough was long and had some clumped grass from waiting to long to cut. Greens were soft and very receptive yet rolled at a good pace. These conditions can be attributed to the fact that they have had a lot of rain the last couple weeks. Staff was very friendly and we had a enjoyable round of golf.

good value for money spent

Maintenance had allowed the rough to overgrow resulting in a lot of clumped grass in the rough. Placed me in the middle of a morning league outing that prevented any fluid movement on the course. Greens well maintained and only concern was allowing the rough to get too heavy before mowing and leaving way too much excess grass off of the fairways.

For this time of year--with the rough winter and recent rain and wind---the course was in good shape with barely any debris on greens.

Winding river

Very open and forgiving course. Still early (March) in the year but was in pretty good shape. Greens were fast. I shot an 84 which is low for me, normally shoot high 80's low 90's. No starter, just got in line but still started at designated time. Very busy that day, I would go back.

good value, wide array of skill array, confusing layout but scenic

My friend and I rode 18 on a Sunday. Pace was steady, but not crowded. No water, a few sand traps, and a good amount of trees along the fairways. A couple of the greens were chewed up as well as some of the tee boxes. Otherwise, the course was in pretty good shape for a city course. One of the relatively newer and nicer city courses in Indy. Nice scenery, a lot of rolling hills. Good value overall.

This course was fun to play.

The course was fun to play. Tee boxes were being aerated which made it a little muddy, but overall experience was good. I will be coming back.

Diverse features

The fairways were well maintained, the rough could have been a little lower cut, greens& tees were average, and bunkers were in reasonable condition. It is well worth the money, challenging, and a fun place to play.
