The Windermere Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Located just outside of Columbia, The Windermere Club sits along the banks of the lake that it takes its name from. Pete Dye designed the golf course, crafting a number of memorable holes. It's his only design in the Midlands. No two holes are alike on this challenging layout, so expect to use every club in your bag. The golf course offers a variety of risk-reward opportunities that will appeal to both low and high handicappers. There are also five, and sometimes six, tee boxes on every hole, making the golf course even more appealing for any skill level. The fairways are generous but lined with mature hardwoods and there are strategically placed bunkers to contend with. Golfers at The Windemere Club will also encounter subtle but tricky elevation changes and several lakes and ponds.

Horrible
Absolalute Dog Track. $58 to play here is a joke. The tee boxes are in terrible condition. The bunkers are hard as a rock. The fairways play more like the rough with mixed in crabgrass and sand. For a coursecwith such an amazing layout, it is very sad to see them let it get this bad. Save your money, play somewhere else.
Rough paths
Must have been something 20 years ago. But tree roots destroyed the cart paths. Driving range soaked due to recent rains. Just lacks a ton of love and $$$
A day of golf
Was in town on business and played a round. Great course and wonderful views. Staff was very welcoming and cheerful..Several lakeside holes and very challenging back nine. Had a great time.
Awesome experience
I felt the course was well taken care of. The fairways were very good and the greens were nice very quick but very good. Highly recommend and I will play this course again.
Windermere
Lots of rain the night before. Doesn’t drain very well. Cart paths are a bad. Fairways were good but the tee boxes most were poor. The greens were the most disappointing. The course needs lots of TLC before I will go back. The layout is very good and can be a great course once again!
Nice shady course
The course was not crowded. The only complaint was the awkward golf carts. We will return.
Enjoy
5 hours, but course gives you plenty of opportunities to enjoy the extra time 😊
Great Layout
Fourball from Scotland, loved the layout with lots of stunning holes and on a great Golf now hotdeal with carts included and the club also sorted us out with decent rental clubs. Thanks to Patrick and Will in the pro shop. Club could improve the condition of the tees and fairways and this would be one of the best in the area.
Great corse excellent staff
This is a good test on a windy day some great holes and the friendliest staff on course and in the clubhouse I’ve met in the US so far top class if your in the area I’d recommend to play here
Tired old lady
Course is nestled between a really nice neighborhood and some bodies of water and the views are pretty The layout is really great and could be a nice but challenging course. Unfortunately the course conditions are sub-par. Absolutely no sand in the bunkers. Cart paths are crumbling asphalt, greens were ok, fairways had some grass but that’s because of the cooler weather and rain. Come summer it’ll be a complete dog track. You have to be careful getting around as there are open drainage caps and gapping holes. It’s really pretty sad because you could tell it once was a beautiful track. I hope someone can put some money into it and bring it back to life.
Good value
Course has a great overall setup and they’re working to improve the fairways. The bunkers were simply not maintained and the cart paths are also neglected.
Staff was friendly, course was in terrible shape. Pete Dye would be ashamed.
Cart paths were horrible and the course conditions was not good. No grass on the fairways, tee boxes or greens. No sand in any of the bunkers. It could be a great course but there is not much effort on maintenance. Not worth the money. Staff was friendly though.
Greens
The greens rolled well and quick however, most of the cups were really beat up and no crisp edges. The cup conditions caused several lip outs.
