Family outing

I do like this course, I just wished they would do something about the tee boxes. It makes for a hard day. The Marshalls should be after slow players but they are more worried about having a smoke. I should not say them all, just one. Could tell me where I should not drive the cart but could not tell the 3 guys ahead of us to move or let us pass. At the 18th hole we watch them wait for the group ahead to get onto the green before teeing off. I was thinking they guys were going to hit the ball 400 yards.. It is a good course to get in a round or two. The price is right if you get it for under $50

It had been a few years since I played this course and I remember the course conditions being much worse. Definitely an improvement this time around.

First Time Playing

Course Marshall Watched Half Our Round

As the title hints, the course marshall literally watched us like a hawk for (no joke) 8/18 holes. We waved while driving by him twice and both times he didn’t wave back. It was the weirdest thing and he made us feel very uncomfortable... especially because we were a very amateur group, so he made us feel like we were doing something wrong. I assure you, we were not.
Other than that, the course was decent. Lots of driveable par 4s, layout was a bit tight with a lot of tee boxes near fairways and greens, and the greens weren’t bad if you don’t mind a few unfixed ball marks. With that said, the tee boxes were the worst I’ve ever seen... uneven, no grass on some of them, painted bricks for the markers. Definitely where they need to put the most attention to their course.
Gave it a 3/5 because I shot my best round of the year here, but it’s probably closer to a 2/5. Decent deals on GolfNow.

Family outing

The biggest issue with this course is the tee boxes. The front 9 are ok but the back 9 need major repair.

The pace is slow but that is not the course fault.

The fairways are pretty good. you just need to watch where you hit because some holes play right beside each other.

Overal, this course is ok for the price.

Winchester Golf Course

Greens and fairways were immaculate today. The tee blocks were terrible, very uneven and little or no grass on most.

The course layout is ok, a bit scary in places where oncoming golfers come head to head. You need to find the fairways here as stray tee shots are often lost balls. Not a long course but it will really test your accuracy.

WInchester is an average short to mid range course. It was in good condition and good value for a in town course.
Carts need to be upgraded though.

Rangers

I play here about once a week. Narrow fairways, so often incoming balls occur. I like the course and great staff. Ninth hole is dangerous to get too, Tee is off a cliff, then you walk down a steep partial broken paved, dirt path...very tricky to manoeuvre. Would like to see regular marshals, yesterday was bad. A group of 12 high schoolers were in front of us. 6 powercarts in tandem racing around together up and down hills. At one point a set of clubs fell off and got run over by cart tailgating. I told the bev cart girl to summon the Marshall. I never did see him. It's first time I've seen behaviour that bad, usually pace there is ok. Very hilly so a challenging walk, most take carts. All in all it is good value.

fun windy day

Shoot your best round, or fill your card with triples. Depends on your tee shots and luck. Lots of birdies available with short par 4's but don't get too greedy or the tight fairways come into play. Short par 70 but a reasonably tough walk.

Course interesting but poorly laid out.

The course is interesting and somewhat challenging but very poorly laid out making several of the fairways in fact dangerous, with balls coming from several directions. The course condition was also poor and we had to wait to tee off on every holes and on our approaches to the greens. Will not play that course again.
