Golf Course
About the course
The Winchester Country Club golf course is one of the finest in the area, featuring 18 holes with an overall length of 6,367 yards. We take pride in the top-notch condition of the golf course. To keep the greens and tees in excellent condition, they are planted with bent grass. A stream running through several of the fairways enhances the beauty of the course. The course layout is most unique and presents a challenge to any golfer. A practice green and driving range adjoin the course. Our golf program is staffed by PGA professionals and provides a complete Pro Shop, storage and repair facilities. Lessons and an active tournament program for men, women and juniors provide fun and relaxation.
