COURSE DETAILS

Championship Courses at Windyke Country Club

WEST COURSE

The West Course has a manicured look with a park like setting including rolling hills, wooded areas, lakes and waterfalls. 

The course ranges from 5,215 yards long (red tees) to 6,813 yards long (blue tees) and has a course rating of 72.7 with a slope of 128.

WEST COURSE DETAILS

The west course is the preferred course of the majority of our members and is one of the most enjoyable courses in Memphis golf. The course has hosted numerous championship events and golf tournaments in Memphis, though the four sets of tees and layout provide an excellent course for every level of skill. 

The Greens

The greens are similar to some of the modern design: 5500/6500 square feet, contoured shape, undulations throughout, surrounded by mounds and well-guarded by gently sloping sod faced bunkers. The grass is "Champion" bermuda grass and is maintained at a speed of 10' to 11' on the stimpmeter. The West Course greens provide an excellent challenge to all levels of golfers.

The Fairways 

The fairways on the West Course are slightly wider than the East course and because of the dual row irrigation system, they are usually slightly denser providing an excellent stand of turf. The average fairways are Tifway 419 Bermuda on the West Course at 35 yards. The fairways are mowed every other day using lightweight hydraulic reel mowers at a height of 1/2" to 1" depending on the season. The West Course fairways are consistently regarded as some of the best in the area and the West Course is considered one of the best golf courses in Memphis.

EAST COURSE

A natural look in a rural setting including ditches, trees, lakes, low lying areas and several natural wildlife sanctuaries. 

The course ranges from 5,273 yards long (red tees) to 7,209 yards long (black tees) and has a course rating of 75.0 with a slope of 134. 

DETAILS

The east course with the treacherous greens, narrow fairways and numerous hazards, has been the preferred course of the majority of the local and state championships held at Windyke as well as numerous other golf tournaments in Memphis golf.
 
The Greens 

The greens are similar to some of the traditional designs of the late 1800's or early 1900's; 4,500 to 5,000 square feet, built up, generally sloping from back to front, and tilling off sharply from the collars. In addition each green is guarded by at least one bunker. The grass is Champion Bermuda and is maintained at a speed of 10' to 11' on the stimpmeter. The East Course greens provide an excellent challenge to even the best putters in the world.

The Fairways

Most of the fairways are tree lined with mature oaks, pines, and cypress trees planted in the early sixties. Other fairways are bordered by one of the six lakes strategically placed throughout the course. The fairways range in width from eighteen yards to forty yards with an average of thirty yards wide and are planted in a mature stand of Tifway 419 Bermuda. The fairways are contour mowed every other day with light weight hydraulic reel mowers at a height of 1/2" to 1" depending on the season. Windyke is known for having consistently good fairways year after year and the East Course is considered one of the best golf courses in Memphis.

EXECUTIVE COURSE

The best par three in the Southeast for beginners to learn to play the game of golf without being rushed or intimidated by others. This is great for all ability levels. 

Numerous juniors, ladies, and men have either learned to play there, or honed their skills on the way to becoming better golfers.


In fact, we have had city champions, state champions, and national champions grow up playing our par 3 course. On occasion you can still find them working on wedge, sand wedge and a variety of punch shots on Windyke's Executive Par 3 Course.
