Best value on the east side of Indy

The east side of Indy is not a treasure trove of good courses. I think this might be my second favorite after The Fort, but it’s easily the best value. The sprawling layout is what sets it apart from other courses. Rarely are there neighboring fairways. There is more elevation change than most Indy courses. The large greens were in great shape, though a bit shaggy due to the time of year. There were a couple holes with some very unfair pin positions down in dips in the green. White tees were the longest out there, but I assume that’s because it’s mid-November. The golf cart was really struggling…it was painfully slow, and the brake wouldn’t lock. The property has a lot of character. Two bald eagles flew overhead while we were there. Overall it’s a great course, and I will be back.

Good Shape

Winding Ridge was in good shape the day we played. I hadn't played there this year so I was pleasantly surprised as it seemed in better shape and better taken care of compared to last year. I would recommend playing golf there.

There’s a Fine Line Between Worth it and Not

This is a course that you can tell was once great, now showing its age and upkeep challenges. It’s screaming for someone to invest in it .A great long and challenging course layout, just in a lot of disrepair. If you can find it as a hot deal, play it! If you don’t a week day is probably best. It’s however not worth paying full price and in prime time hours, you can find a better course at that price point.

Winding Ridge

Decent course, especially for the price. Nice pro shop. Staff okay. Fairways very nice, greens are in decent condition. I liked the difficult pin positions. Tee boxes and off fairways not great. Overall it's a decent course foe the price you will pay.

Great course for the price.

The course is in great shape. The layout of the course is challenging but rewards good shots. I will play it again.

Winding Ridge 2024

The last couple of years this course has been extremely dry and not in the best of condition. With the rain we’ve had so far this year in much better condition.

Fantastic Golf Day

My 15 year old son is just starting his golf game and we were pleasantly surprised by the people, the pace of play and the challenging holes with a cluster of par 4s on the back nine made for a fantastic father/son golf day.
- Thank you n
