Playing this course was good value. It was reasonably priced. But, it felt like a bit of a case of "you get what you pay for" - The course conditions were inconsistent and poor at times. Not watered, some patchy greens, very hard and bouncy fairways and greens.
Enjoy it for the cost, maybe not the conditions.
Plan on a 5+ Hour Round at This Course
Tee times are stacked on top of each other and no martial to ensure a decent pace of play. Groups typically don’t know golf etiquette (or they don’t care). The course is in great condition but you may as well book a course where they care more about your overall experience than how many tee times they can book in a hour. That is unless you don’t mind waiting 10 minutes on every tee to hit your ball.
NO STARTER AMD DOES NOT FOLLOW COVID GUIDELINES
They have signs saying wear a mask but don’t make customers wear them in the clubhouse. I asked them about following the guidelines and they said they did not enforce them, cuz it is merely a recommendation. The course was backed up and no starter helped the pace of play. Clearly they over book in order to get their money.
30 Minutes Late to Start
I typically golf at Winding River once to twice a year. I typically only golf here when I find a hot deal. Fairways and rough are always in great shape. Greens are always is in “ok” shape. Always liked how they take advantage of the hills that they have on the course to make for blind tee shots. Driving range is always very nice and well kept, clubhouse is nice and large with enough food options for when you are making the turn and the pro shop is always clean and organized with someone waiting to service you. The main complaint I have about this course is always the same. Their is always a large backup off the first tee on the weekends. The hole is a nice starting hole, that is always nice and straight and I understand the errant shots that come from all types of golfers to get going for their round. My issue is not that, my issue is that it’s not managed to get people off when it’s their time to go.
They over booked and a family of 3 kids in front of us took forever and hit multiple balls. Course use to be great
Good Challenge
Liked the course. The tree lined fairways will make you pay if you miss the fairways. That is the most challenging part of the course. Keep it in the fairway and you should score well.
We're glad you enjoyed playing at Winding River and its challenges! We hope to see you out here again soon.

Great Golf
I love this course. Challenging but not overwhelming. Condition is always excellent. Great staff. The previous time, the grass cutting guy gave us a dozen quality golf balls he had found. If you are a serious hacker disguised as a golfer, you will enjoy this course. There is a great demand for this course.

Poor tee time scheduling
We had a 10:42 tee time. We arrived 20 minutes ahead and the line up at the first tee was huge. We didn’t tee off until 11:20. Course is interesting and doesn’t get boring. Plenty of long challenging holes playing for the whites. Pace of play was ridiculous. Took nearly 5.5 hours to play the round. There is no place to get drinks or snacks at the turn so by the time we finished all 4 of us were quite thirsty. While the course is ok I wouldn’t recommend this course on a weekend as the scheduling of tee times is obviously too tight and the pace of play far too slow.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future.
Great course for the money
Great course for the money, greens and fairways in good shape.

Very fun!
Found on golf now for $19 with cart. Back nine has a lot of really cool views and fun tee shots into greens with good opportunities to score. First time playing the course and shot a 76 from the whites.
We're glad you had a great first time playing at Winding River Golf Course!
Greens are too slow.
Overall course in good condition but the greens are too slow. Maybe 6 on the stimp.
