Wasioto Winds Golf Course Tee Times

Waited a long time to play this course - maybe a little too long. Really fun layout with tons of water, but coastlines are so overgrown that it takes away from the experience creating some blind shots. Still great value and worth the effort to make the drive

We were in the area for a family reunion and from previous visits I really wanted to try out this course (keep in mind it was just my girlfriend and I). We had a tee time of 1130 that we were there early for. They have a very outdated credit card system that would not accept our cards and while we are trying to pay the rep was getting increasingly ruder, which was fine, just seemed the guy was having a bad day. Either way we had to drive to a nearby ATM to get cash and we get there with cash in hand right at 1130 and the guy said we are now too late and refused us. Update your credit card system and try to be less rude to customers. Just the tiniest bit of either understanding or leniency could have prevented all of this.

Nestled in a valley between the mountains, Wasioto is easily one of the most beautiful courses in Appalachia. A great level of difficulty when compared to other courses.

The course was very nice. The Bermuda grass fairways are excellent. The only problem is that they let the Bermuda grass totally grow over the distance markers. Therefore, if you’re right next to a distance marker, you can hit it on your follow-through and break your wrist. It would be nice if they got some weed eaters and cleared out the distance markers. There are 100 markers 150 markers and 200 markers. But you cannot see them.

For golfers that don’t mind a little drive, there are two Kentucky State Park courses that are close enough to make a quick, two-day trip; Wasioto Winds Golf Course at Pine Mountain State Resort Park and General Burnside Island Golf Course in Burnside Kentucky. The courses are less than two hours apart and if you include a stay at Cumberland Falls State Resort Park, your drive to each course is about an hour. At Wasioto Winds, the front nine is a lot tighter and requires several target golf shots. It’s especially challenging if you’ve never played the course before. There is a lot of roll and undulation in many of the fairways and several greens too. Over the first several holes, you get the idea that most of the trouble is on the left side. The water short of the green on the left on the first hole is reachable off the tee and the creek all down the left side on the second hole will help you keep the ball right. The 5th hole is a short par 5 – 434 yards from Tee 2 – but requires accuracy off the tee with water and wetlands on either side and an accurate layup shot into a narrow fairway with water left and the mountain on the right. Two good shots will leave a short pitch shot into a green that slopes right to left towards the water. The back nine is more open and considerably longer than the front – over 400 yards from Tee 2. A lot of the difference in distance is made up on the par 5s, which both play over 500 yards. Wasioto Winds Golf Club offers some beautiful views from the elevated 12th tee box and the front tees of the 13th hole. The front nine is also a little different in that there are three par 5s, 3 par 4s, and 3 par threes. Both of these courses are currently undergoing bunker renovations and are in the process of switching over to “Better Billy Bunker,” the best-draining bunker system in the golf industry. It may take a while for the installation to be complete but it’s well worth the wait. For golfers that plan on playing multiple rounds of golf over the year at the Kentucky State Parks, you may want to consider purchasing a Trail Card which gives you access to many courses across the state within the Nation’s Finest Park System. A lot of these courses have been recognized nationally by Golf Digest. The Trail Card can be purchased at any of the Kentucky State Park courses.
