The Windermere Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Located just outside of Columbia, The Windermere Club sits along the banks of the lake that it takes its name from. Pete Dye designed the golf course, crafting a number of memorable holes. It's his only design in the Midlands. No two holes are alike on this challenging layout, so expect to use every club in your bag. The golf course offers a variety of risk-reward opportunities that will appeal to both low and high handicappers. There are also five, and sometimes six, tee boxes on every hole, making the golf course even more appealing for any skill level. The fairways are generous but lined with mature hardwoods and there are strategically placed bunkers to contend with. Golfers at The Windemere Club will also encounter subtle but tricky elevation changes and several lakes and ponds.

Windermere Club
My first time playing this course. The condition was to be expected for winter. It’s a great layout that I would enjoy playing over and over. Greens rolled exceptionally smoothly for this time of year. They pace of play was excellent. I will definitely be back.
Excellent Day
Course in great shape. Just several wet spots from rain. Highly recommend. Great layout.
Outstanding
Best condition I have ever seen from tee to green. Absolutely loved it.
Major Improvements to Course
This is basically my home course. I stopped playing here at one point because it was in terrible condition. There used to be a ton of drainage issues and the greens were never in good condition. I have played here twice recently and only seen improvements. The greens are in great condition. Drainage issues have been mostly fixed. Fairways are well taken care of. Bunkers are not full of rocks or stones anymore. Tee boxes are in great condition. They worked well with us and gave a rain check as a storm was rolling in as we were about to start the back 9. Great course definitely would play here again.
The WIN-dermere!!
This was my first time playing this course, but hopefully it will not be my last. This course has a challenging layout that is not too overwhelming for folks like me (relatively new to golf). You will not be disappointed with your golf round at this course.
A tale of two nines
First time playing. The front nine is very ‘normal’ and satisfying to play. But the back nine is a totally different layout — like links golf on steroids — with too many deep bunkers and ravines. Greens were very nice throughout. I will play again, but I’ll know better how to navigate the back nine minefield.
Nice layout.
Nice layout. Very hilly and lots of bunkers. Love that each hole had its own layout and challenges. Length is not a critical but accuracy is important. Two great par 3’s all carry over water. One was 185 and the other was 160 from the whites. Greens had some dead spots covered with sand and smoothly and ran at 9 to 9.5. Friendly staff but the. bar food was ok and expensive. I truly hope course conditions change over the next few years because it is a fun place to play.
Best layout in Soda City
Just a great 18 holes of golf, great and challenging layout. Enjoyable from the first tee to the last green.
The greens were perfect; staff was very friendly. Cart paths are the worst I have experienced. They need a Marshall to increase pace of play.
Great course, greens were excellent
Have played this course many times and it did not disappoint this time. They replaced the greens some time ago and boy have they come in. Probably the best greens in the area. My opinion.
Fall Conditions
I'm sure in prime season this course is excellent. At this time of the season ( grasses have gone dormant) the course was rough. I would love to play it in season.
