Winston Lake Golf Course

About Winston Lake Golf Course

You know how some municipal courses feel like afterthoughts? Winston Lake isn't one of them. This public gem sits on rolling terrain that gives you legitimate elevation changes and strategic interest without beating you up. The routing makes smart use of the natural topography, with several memorable holes that play around and over the lake that gives the course its name. What really sets it apart from other city-owned tracks is the conditioning. They clearly take pride in maintenance here, and it shows in fairways and greens that rival some of the pricier semi-private options in the Triad. The 4.1 Google rating from nearly 300 reviews tells you everything about the consistency of the experience. This isn't a course that's great one day and sketchy the next. It's the kind of reliable, well-maintained public option that becomes a regular rotation staple. Walking is encouraged, which is increasingly rare and speaks to both the walkable design and management's understanding of what serious golfers want. For the money, you'd be hard-pressed to find better value in the Winston-Salem area.
