My favorite local course.
The course has all the elements you are looking for in a florida course plus the addition of tree lined fairways. The course is always kept in great condition and pace of play has always been great.

Fun course in very good condition
With so many courses extremely dry, firm, and sparse due to lack of rain these days, Windermere CC was a nice change. Course was in very good condition with excellent greens and plenty of turf in the fairways. The rough was a little sparse, but that's ok, if you hit it in the rough, you should expect to pay a price. Compared to most courses in the area these days, you could almost call it pristine....
Practice facilities were excellent and everyone was very welcoming and appreciative of our business. Not always the case when a formerly private club opens it's doors to outside play.
Not terribly long, 6600 from the tips, but some tight holes and a lot of water that needs to be respected. Some fairly short par 5's, but don't get too cocky, the birdies aren't as forthcoming as you might think. Definitely a course where a couple of rounds will make a difference as there are some blind shots that need to be played properly or you're going to add strokes to your score.
All in all a very pleasant day on a nice course. A bit of a drive for our happy little group, but worth it and we'll definitely add it into the rotation.

Classic course. Challenging greens. Enjoyable round.
Challenging, classic course. Tree-lined fairways challenge driving accuracy. Greens are well maintained and putted very true. Friendly staff. Very enjoyable day of golf.

Nice golf course!
I thoght Windemere Country Club was a fun course to play. Friendly staff and the pace of play was very good. I thought the course was challenging and offered some very interesting holes, but not overly difficult to make it unplayable for the average golfer. It was a great value for the money, especially during the Easter / Spring break period. Tee times were readily available. Would definately play again.

Perfect
The cool weather kept people wait (I guess). The course was not crowded, the golfers friendly (and let you play through), and it was a wonderful time. Absolutely no complaints other than my score which I really cannot blame on the course.

The course fairways and greens were in excellent condition, just short of plush.
I played course on Wednesday 3 days after the major wind and rain storm came through that suspended Sundays championship round of the Arnold Palmer Championship. Lots of serious damage to the community, but The course, and fairways were impeccable, the greens equally as nice, and the course was very challenging. Loved it. Hope to return within the month.

Pretty, challenging course at good price
This is a country club that allows non-member players. The course was in excellent condition. In particular, the greens appeared freshly rolled and firm, but they held approach shots. Balls rolled very true. Staff was friendly. Felt lot a composite of FLorida and a Northeastern course due to tree-lined fairways. Precision driving is important, else you wind up in water or trees.
Overall we were very happy with the course and the price. Definitely want to play again.

Great round, friendly staff, will play again!
Really enjoyed the course. Really fun layout, plenty of chances to hit the big stick. Course management still needed on certain holes like the last 4 finishing holes, all needed your head in the game. Staff was great, will play again on my next trip to Orlando area for sure.

Super greens
Beautiful course, excellent condition, particularly greens, bunkers too, very fair though lots of water. Also easily walkable.
March 25, 2013
greens were fair to good fairways ok but some dry brown areas
I enjoyed golfing here but still thought the price was high there are a lot of golf courses in the area which are cheaper and still good I did like the titleist club we rented but again to high of price just to rent clubs 20 to 25$ is more than enough we should not have to suffer just cuz tthe airlines sock it to us and the ups' s of the world too vacation should be cost friendly so thanks for the round of golf but ...... oh and yes I will use your site again to save and research thanks

Very good course and greens are in great condition.
Very good to excellent course. The greens are fast and challenging because of all the undulations but are mowed like professional tournament courses. The fairways are in good shape. I have played the course twice already in the last two weeks.

This course has some nice twists to it, and is a challenge for all types of golfers. There is plenty of trouble to get into, but it is not unfair.
I have a couple reasons why I did not give this a 5 star rating. One: My son and I teamed up with a couple from Ireland, and we had a geat time, but the pace of play could have been better. There were 2 twosomes behind us, and at the turn while we were waiting forvever for our lunch, the 2 groups passed us by and never formed a foursome. The play was extremely slow on the back, and there was not a ranger to be found. There was a phone # to call in the food, but no one picked up in the kitchen, that would have definitely sped things up. Two: The fairways and greens were in pretty good shape, but the rough was beat up and worn down.

More like northern florida
Greens and water are course features
Greens are great, not flat. Must be able to read greens or you have no chance. Balls roll true and hold the line you choose.

Great greens
Fast, challenging greens on a nice course. Houses are not right on top of you like so many other courses. Gets tougher at the end.

Best greens we played on in Orlando.
We played all the high end courses in Orlando during the nine rounds we played. This course had the best greens we played. Traditional tree lined track with a few very difficult holes if the wind is blowing. The Starter told us that course plays about 400 yards longer than what is on the card because you get no roll and he was right.
Great price given the high seaon prices in Orlando.

Great Value
Would play this course again. Great value for the price!

Nice course, fun layout and reasonably good condition.
I am a low handicap player and accustomed to playing very well conditioned courses. I quite enjoyed this layout and the overall condition of the course. By selecting the proper tee markers you should have all the course you need unless you are a young bomber. The greens and bunkers were in pretty good shape, shame on those who don't rake bunkers properly.

Great value for a course in excellent condition with an enjoyable layout.
Best value for your $ in Orlando. Pristine greens with friendly helpful staff. A must play in the area.

Nice layout, great staff!
Great course and a very helpful staff. Highly recommend!

Nice course, would play again. Drought is causing issues with a number of courses, this one included.
This is a nice course and would definitely play again but if you are basing your golfing decision on value for your money, I think it is over-priced in comparison to some other courses of equal quality. Considering the dry conditions currently in Florida, the grounds crew have done a very good job in maintaining the course condition. Like the layout.

Fairways needs some attention here and there
Greens excellent :-) specially when you have not played golf since September
March 18, 2013
Overall, a great play. Combines challenges with opportunities.
The well-heeled residents can afford the costs to keep conditions well upscale. It's a pleasant experience with no bad holes and lots of good memories if you play well. But, you've got to hit your tee shots toward the 150-yard marker, or prepare to go swamp-diving. These hazards are loaded with one-hit Pro V1s.
The 4+ car garages and uber-capacious lanais ensure top playing conditions regardless of any pesky market downturns. It must be nice . . .

Tough greens, man!
2nd round at Windermere. Loved it, once again. But it'll take me a couple more rounds to get used to some of these greens and better approach them i.e. may be stay short and count on a gapwedge/1-putt combo, once in a while, rather than having to face an extra-long snaking 1st putt...and risk a 3-putt.
