Windy Knoll Golf Club
About
Windy Knoll Golf Club is known among locals as being one of Springfield's best public golf courses. The course was built in 2001, though you would not be able to tell from its traditional links design. It manages to be a classic links golf course while still being a challenge. The site was originally a horse farm and the design incorporates some of the features from the terrain's former use. Water hazards come into play frequently throughout the golf course and there are trees and rough lining the fairways. Golfers will find many risk-reward opportunities on the course, one good example being the par-4 eighth. This hole plays into the prevailing wind and if you miss your drive, you may find yourself in one of the eight bunkers surrounding the undulating green.

Great Experience
Staff was friendly upon arrival. It was a slow day for the course. The food was good at The Stables. We will definitely be back!
Just average
It was super windy when we played. The rough was super thick. Felt rushed during play. There were bathrooms on the course but were both locked. Not convenient for the women. There were no ball washers. Overall, it was an ok course to play.
Great course, better value
Fairways were excellent, and greens were perfect speed. The geese were a little perturbed however.
Is a solid layout and good condition
First off the course is worth $35 green fee with cart. I probably wouldn’t play it for much more. Condition is fair slow greens although I sure that’s more because of the time of year and a really good layout. But no driving range zero reason not to have your range open by now. No bathrooms on the course guess they want you to pee In the neighbors yard. No ball washers seems minor but never seen a high end course not have them at least on every other hole. The last few times I’ve played it been cart path and rough orly. If your going to have rough only no reason you can’t do 90 degree at that point your better off walking. I will not return's until they at least they open there driving range and get a better cart rule. It’s a good value at 30-35 dollars but there are plenty of good courses in that price range that have all the amenities I’ve mentioned.
You can't fool mother nature!
Nice course. Behind on the mowing following a week of heavy rain. Traps were washed out and unplayable due to the heavy rains. Had several fairways closed due to moisture but we're a little slow opening them because they were dry when we played. Are in the process of removing all the fencing. Look forward to playing again when the mowing is caught up and traps renewed.
Great gem in Indiana
Enjoyed this course passing thru IN. Good layout, good greens, good golf carts. Great value and check in w/ the long time pro went smooth. You won't be disappointed.

The course layout is challenging. The greens were consistent and very quick but not too firm. Landing a ball on the green would usually result in the ball stopping within a shot distance from 3-12”. Pin placement was murder. I think the greens keeper was getting even for everyone that didn’t fix a divot. Had the most three putts on this course than all season last year.
A few of the holes were VERY narrow, encouraging you to take an iron or 3 wood off the tee.
Fairways were in great shape, not too soft and well cut. Tee boxes were super clean. Hardly any tee remnants. They must clean them regularly. Carts were excellent and in good shape as well.

Do not understand why people rate this course high
Really do not understand why people give this course such a high rating a lot of the holes have a really bad left or right dog leg the sand traps were really bad sand was like cement at one point the guy that was mowing the grass ran right over my ball. Then he pointed out to me where my ball was almost acknowledging the fact that he ran over it the rough is really rough. The Tee markers on the tee boxes are not set up in a way that make sense they go diagonal in most cases not really giving the player a definitive place to tee up your ball. Definitely not my cup of tea but if people like it, that’s cool it is a challenge in Course, but not in the sense that I was looking forward to.

A little courtesy
Greens had been aerated, and were very rough. Biggest issue was that this was not mentioned at checking in and was charged full prime Rate.
