Really nice-looking place. Brought my son and his friend and they had a good time. They said it was a great-looking course.

Winding Hills Golf Club is the best-kept little secret for golfers in the Hudson Valley. This executive par-3 course is well maintained by a grounds crew that pays attention to the little details and provides challenging hole locations. The restaurant offers a modified menu and services (at times) as much attention is spent on event planning and weddings at this picturesque course.
For the duffers, hole #3 presents a challenge with a narrow opening to the fairway. Trees line the left and there is a pond on the right that makes you pause before pulling out the big dog and going for it. On the back nine, hole #13 is the signature hole, presenting a downhill dog-leg left that tempts a drive off the tee, but only when caution is observed for others leaving the green or teeing off on #14.
Putting and short game skills are a must here. There is no hole more difficult to putt than #8. It doesn't matter where the hole location is placed: The ball will funnel to the front right and off the green. Be cautious and respect the variations on the surface and you can get close; if you're too aggressive, you're looking at a 3-putt, or way, way worse.
The golf pro, Gil Anderson, is exceptional and rounds out a great golf experience at this course. Come here to play, leave here with an other-worldly connection to the game.

This is a really nice executive course that will challenge your shots with irons and wedges. Every time I come here the staff is friendly and accommodating. The holes are fun to play and the food at the restaurant is excellent. Great for an outing with friends or getting a solo round in. Definitely check it out!
