4hrs and 50min

It took 4 hours and 50 minutes to play 18!! With a pace of play that slow nothing else about the course matters. This place has the tee times set up for every 7 and 8 minutes so it’s on purpose that the pace of play is glacial!! The check in guy at the front desk was rude and abrupt as well. There is no starter either so it’s just a jumble to figure out when it’s your turn. Also…with the tee time set up NO ONE tees off on time. Your going to tee off at least 10 minute late and then take almost 5 hours to play. Who does that? Not me…never again.

First visit in a long time

The trees have grown. Yes it has been that long. Greens were in good shape. Pretty cool layout. A couple of the greens are bordering on unfair. The slope of these greens make them virtually unplayable. Good driving range right next to the clubhouse. A fun afternoon with my youngster who played the senior tees.

Excellent Shape

The course was in great shape. Fairways plush and greens were very smooth and fast. The Barn Hole is beautiful and my favorite hole. Rolling terrain and doesn’t feel like your in the city.

Winding River is a nice golf course

It was nice to play the Winding River golf course on Saturday. I don't know if it was because of the memorial day holiday or the nice weather, but the course was packed. The staff were very friendly and the course and greens were in great shape. Pace of play was the only challenge all day do to the course being so busy. The course layout is nice with a mixture of tight fairways and a couple of rewarding par 4's.

I would definitely recommend this course to my golf friends and would play here again.

Great Value

Winding River is in great shape for this time of the year. Tee boxes, fairways and greens are in great shape. The course played well and the groups were spaced appropriately. Fun day for the money

TERRIBLE

Arrived 50 minutes before the 12:10 tee time. I was told that they were backed up by at least 30 minutes and to expect 18 holes to take 6 hours. Golf now will not refund because it was a hot deal—even though the course could not honor our tee time. Or even come close to it. Finding any customer service for golf now is very difficult but I’ll get to it eventually. If not will kick it to Amex. No service rendered. 1) poor impression of course—I’ll never go back to such a staggering amount of overbooking; 2) I’ll never use golf now again. Period.
