Course gets better as it goes

The last four holes are absolutely gorgeous. The course gets better as you play it. Need to do a better job with grass clippings in the fairway. The staff could not have been nicer. Will definitely get back.

Great Time

We had the best of time. I was amazed and pleased that leaves on the ground didn’t play a factor in our round. Kudos to the grounds crew for making sure most of the course was leafless. We always love playing this course.

Wow!

This course was in the best shape of any one I have played this year. This is probably my fav course to play. This layout and greens were challenging yet very fun. We had an absolute blast playing this course. Definitely am going to a lot next year.

SLOOooowww play

The course does tee times in 7 and 8 minute intervals so there are golfers everywhere and a wait on Every Single Shot resulting in a 5 hr round. It’s excruciating!!

Also…the 14th green is tilted so much from back to front to make it almost impossible to putt. It’s so bad the course workers have a pat answer for complaints…”use the 2-putt rules”.

Excellent Value

The course is in great shape for this time of year and it offers a good challenge with lots of narrow fairways and plenty of trees. The course has some great hils and valleys with some greens sloping more than you realize at first. Always a delight to play!

Wet course made for a slow day

Because they got 3" of rain the night before, it was cart-path-only. Unfortunately the foursome ahead of us consisted of two couples that were fairly new golfers and we were stacked up behind their slow play for the first 13 holes, until they finally let us play through and then they miraculously sped up and pushed us for a few holes before we pulled away.

They have lots of staff around the clubhouse area, but no Marshal or anyone monitoring play on the course.
Otherwise it was an okay round, although I probably won't rush back to play there again this season.

Good condition

Course was in good shape. They changed some greens to get the slope back into a playable condition. Overbooked tee times. Had to wait on carts and waited at every tee box. It took over 5 hours to play 18.

Nice little course in good shape, good price

Fairways in those condition, greens had a lot of slope. If you are not a good putter, could be a long day for you. We were a twosome behind a threesome and for some man it was a long final 13 holes. Would like to have seen arrange her out there to move play along. Other than that Was a good experience, although off the beaten path.

Slow paired players

Great round and love the course, bu the pair of players we were paired with were the slowest pair my brother in law and I have ever played with. 5.5 hours is far too long for an 18 hole round.

Incredible Value!

The fairways and greens were in great shape. Pace of play was perfect — 18 in 3 hours. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend playing Winding River.

nice local course

Nothing about Winding River is going to blow you away, but its a nice value course around Indy. You can still play 18 with a cart for under $50. I liked the layout and its fairly easy to walk. Nice staff. A little off the beaten path.

Always My Favorite

This course has to be in the best shape of any course I have played this year. I was very impressed. Even with fall in full swing, you can tell they have kept up on the leaves. We lost only a couple of balls due to leaves. I would definitely recommend this course!!
