We golfed out at Winagamie two days this weekend after a 20 year break. For most of my family this was our first rounds on the "new" course since it was added back in 2001. Overall conditions of the course were pretty good; although they appear to have been impacted by the excess rain as there are some fairway repairs and erosion issues through out the course. Not many effected play however and greens were normal conditions. Strongly recommend playing the Pines and Woodlands courses if available; the Highlands plays very open and would recommend for those that don't find the fairway as often as they like. Overall, we had some nice rounds of golf. Unfortunately, the negative part of our experience at Winagamie was the staff. While I can't explicitly call the staff "rude;" it's a fine line of separation. First and foremost in the midst of social distancing and COVID-19 measures we were very surprised that we were forced to share a cart; especially when we asked about the protocols. The response we received was "we were told it's OK for two to a cart now..." This was a bit odd and other courses are insisting that golfers separate if they do not live in the same household. This course didn't even ask....Be prepared when you arrive to discuss as the carts are not scheduled online with your tee times. You can trying calling in advance, but our experience was that the phone went unanswered...
Overall, we found the staff (especially those that are over the age of 40) to be unaccommodating and ambivalent as to whether they wanted our business. This was quite surprising as almost EVERY OTHER BUSINESS in the state has been very appreciative of seeing customers since mid-March...not the same here. The only exceptions we found were the gals on the beverage carts. They were very friendly and made the rounds about the course so that we were seeing them every few holes for a cold refreshment. It's not often that I can recommend that the younger generation teach the older generation about kindness, but that would apply this weekend at Winagamie. If you're looking for a casual round of golf, head on out, but familiarize yourselves with the course layout before you arrive as you'll have to be very assertive to find assistance with much else....
