Solid track

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at this course. Played in under 4 hrs. Course is in great shape. Greens were rolling true. Only negative was the construction adjacent to last hole on back nine so they converted to a par 34 on back nine. Heard the last two were Grt finishing holes. Staff was fantastic and very friendly. I wouldn’t pay the advertised $395 but very worthwhile at under $200 if u can get a desk on Golf Now or other tee time providers which I was able to get.

Big price

This is a very solid course, good greens and in very good condition. However, it is mostly about hitting very narrow greens. Not a lot of difficulty off the tee and not a great deal of memorable holes. The price is ridiculous. If I didn’t get a very good Hot Deal rate I would not recommend it at all. Can’t see paying $300 plus for this track.

Nice course

Very playable golf course. Nothing special or memorable but solid track overall and in good condition. Pace of play could be a bit faster. Greens not particularly fast but rolled true. Good for beginners and intermediate players.

Hello, u000004619964. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve.

Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.

Overpriced

Shingle Creek would be a good course for about $100 less. Nothing special about the layout. Greens were very good and course was in decent condition but there are several courses in the area that are better tracks for about $50-$75 less. I guess bc they prob get a lot of play from people staying on the premises it is busy. Staff was very courteous and golf shop was decent.

Worth the drive

I live an hr from the course but would go back in a heartbeat. Senior Rate Was $45 and they gave u a sleeve of balls! Course in great shape for Feb golf. Solid track. Very friendly staff and greens rolled fairly well. I’ve played here a few times and when the fescue grows in this course is a beast from the back tees. Generous fairways allow u to spray the tee ball a bit. I’ll be back.

Good track.

Winston Trails is a very solid track with multiple tee boxes for all types of players. course is challenging but very fair. Unfortunately the pace of play was very slow. We waited on just about every shot and there weren’t any rangers that were interested in speeding things up. The greens were a little slow. and should be sped up a bit. The staff was very welcoming and friendly and they have good dining options. Overall a worthwhile place to play but could be even better.

Good bang for the buck

Nice fair track with plenty of interesting holes. Much more challenging from back tees. Course was in very good shape with excellent greens. Good for all levels of golfer. Only negative was the starter.. No communication as to starting time, loading my bag on cart. He never said a word and as a single he should at least let me know who I would be playing with and with whom I’d be riding. I came from the putting green figuring it was close to the starting time when he told me to hurry up and join a threesome that was all ready to go. This was the second time I’d been to this course and it was a repeat of the first. Barring that it was a great day and a worthwhile. experience

Fair Test

Very long and tough course. High slope and course rating. Played blue tees on a windy day which made it play longer and tougher. If you can’t hit it 230+ off tee most golfers will have enough course from member tees. Greens were very slow but I’m told they’re generally faster. Played in 4 hrs but starter tried to squeeze in a 2-some ( members) on back 9 where there was no gap. Not right. Good bar and food.

Great layout but...

As I've read in other reviews, this is an excellent course in good shape especially for the amount of play it gets. Challenging but fair. Pace of play was good. Problem with starter as many others have stated. Not exactly the most friendly. If u want your foursome to stay at the starters hut, just tell them. We went to putt, came back and he lets another group go out (prior to our tee time) because he didn't have our other cart number? Too much attitude. Price is a bit steep. Not worth the full fare but discounts are available on golf websites.
