I have played golf here often and all the employees deserve recognition on keeping this course nice. For the money, 2026 senior fee, is the lowest in the city. They just installed new asphalt cart paths around the course and were working on the grass next to the path when I was here. I am more of an amateur golfer but have always been happy with the grounds and the fairways here. read more

Winding River Golf Course - New cart paths - Golf Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I honestly don't understand how this public course stays open. The layout is boring, there aren't even any bunkers on most of the holes, and the fairways looked like they hadn't been maintained in weeks. The greens were patchy and unpredictable, and every hole somehow managed to feel exactly the same. The worst part by far was the staff. The people in the clubhouse were unbelievably rude from the second we walked in -- acting annoyed when we asked simple questions and treating golfers like they were a problem instead of customers. The marshal drove around yelling at groups all day but did nothing to speed up play. For a public course, I wasn't expecting luxury, but basic customer service and decent conditions shouldn't be too much to ask. Definitely not worth the money, and I won't be coming back. read more

Worst golfing experience ever from the second we walked in the staff treated us like we were less than them and were extremely rude. The course was terrible and was not maintained at all like they haven't touched it in weeks. There scheduling is terrible we sat and had to wait on every single hole and the staff was doing nothing about it. Will never be back. read more

There are greens here that will make you want to quit golf. #14, I'm looking at you. There are also a lot of leagues which makes it difficult to get on the course. read more

They double book all tee times. Our round took over 5 and a half hours. When I asked why they double book tee times they responded "that's what you should expect". Terrible business practices. Will never come here again and do not recommend anyone playing here. read more

Ended up on the wrong hole by mistake. Genuine mistake. The greens keeper/pro/whatever the hell he was came flying up in his cart acting pissy immediately. Mind you this was twilight and we were the only group on the course. I'm guessing he is new to managing a course and/or businesses in general. Still not an excuse. Total douchebag. There are way too many nice courses in the Indianapolis area to put up with shit like that. Will never go back. read more

Fairly priced for what the golf course offers. Well maintained, friendly fairways and outstanding greens! The staff were friendly and helpful. read more

WARNING!! DO NOT GO HERE! TERRIBLE STAFF!!! This place doesn't even deserve a 1 star. We will NEVER return back. And we will make sure to warn the surrounding areas. The guy at the front desk checking people in is EXTREMELY RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL. We turned in our equipment to him after a game of golf and he said there was a bunch of stuff "missing" when there wasn't. He surely found that out after dumping everything on the ground while he continued to say VERY RUDE REMARKS. I cannot believe how we were treated. After leaving I looked at the reviews and sure enough! We are not the first people to have a very unpleasant run in with this asshole! He needs to be fired and crawl back into whatever hole he came from. If you are the owner you know nothing about running a business and deserve nothing but to go out of business which I'm sure you will if this is how you continue to treat people. Don't forget that WE THE PEOPLE ARE PAYING YOU. Not the other way around buddy. read more

Played after heavy rain but the course held up well. Nice open course. Small but well kept greens. read more

Winding River Golf Course - Red barn hole - Golf Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Course appears to be pretty well taken care of! The greens were a little slow, seems like they hadn't been cut in a little bit, but we also have not had much rain. It's a fun course to play and the service was great. They had a starter organizing tee times as it was pretty busy on a Saturday morning. For two people with a cart, it was $88, which is relatively affordable for the area and for the condition of the course. The course is mid-range on difficulty. It isn't super wide open, but a few tee shots that make you think. Really enjoyed the course and will definitely be back to play again. read more

Course is very nice and well maintained. Ponds need some chemiCal to get rid of all the algae but other than that, nice looking course.

We had a T time for 10:50 last Saturday 6/13/2020. As we waited for a cart our T time came and went and there were people in front of us still waiting. They had no starter to organize the starts and the T times were scheduled too close together. All of the other courses have spread the T times to allow for extra cart usage and cleanup. Most of the carts were taken by an outing group hours before they were needed. This course needs better management before I return. read more

The best shape I've ever seen the course. The fairways are plush and the Greens roll very smooth. The landscape and holes are unique and we saw an Eagle flying around. The Red Barn hole is my favorite. Reasonable prices and the staff was very pleasant and helpful. read more

Winding River Golf Course - 1st Hole - Golf Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I wish Yelp offered reviews of separate areas. I love this course. Driving range, very nice chipping green and a very large putting green to get you ready for your round. Greens are as tough as you can find on any public course in the area. What is lacking are a few staffing positions. They could really use a starter or a PA system to announce the groups. They either need to space out the tee times to 10 minutes apart or get a ranger. This course should not take over 4 1/2 hours to play on a weekday, but it did today. The two groups in front of us played a glacial speed, VERY frustrating. I would give the course 5 stars and only 1/2 star for staff & pace of play. read more

Employees are unbelievably rude. I paid for a membership to this course and won't even go back to use it.

This was a fun course that was beautiful and appropriately challenging from the different tee boxes

Love this course. It's right down the street from my house so I've deemed it my 'home course'. Staff is always super nice and welcoming. Decent pricing. Course is not too tough not too easy. Not sure where the negative comments about the shape of the course came from, but it's always in great shape in spring-early fall. Maybe they played in the winter? Not sure. But every time I've gone everything is in good shape. A few sparse patches on some greens but that's about it. I highly recommend this course. read more

We love our whole experience at this course every time we visit. What a beautiful track! It meanders through the trees, and up and down rolling hills, but still presents generous fairways. There are several sets of tees that make it very playable for everyone. The 'white' tees are perfect for us most of the time, very playable...but every now and then, we will take it on from the tips and it's a beast. The course is in the best shape it has been in many years, and gets better every year. Nice fairways, and the greens are perfect. I recommend it highly. read more

I'd give it ZERO stars if Yelp let me. Staff is EXTREMELY rude. Course is ridiculously overpriced for the condition it's in - especially in the midst of a pandemic when the golf industry is exploding. Save your money and go elsewhere...not worth it in the LEAST. read more

I loved it. Great elevation. Nice layout. I got a deal for $26 per person. My only small gripe would be the greens were a little bumpy. Probably need rolled. The staff were friendly. I would recommend this course and I will be back. read more

I played this one last Thursday and I have to say, for the amount of play it gets it was in great shape. I was a Men's Club member here 12 or 13 years ago and I don't remember it being in this great condition. Kudos to Greer Craig, my old friend and former Men's Club partner. read more
