If you’re looking for a family-friendly golf course where you can enjoy a shorter round on beautifully maintained terrain, look no further than Windermere Valley Golf Course.

The course is extremely welcoming to families and offers a variety of affordable options with low rates and kids-golf-free promotions. As well, kids can learn even more about golf and how to amp up their game with the junior clinics that run Tuesday through Thursday in the months of July and August.

“Our course is unique in that it is a shorter, more playable layout,” said Doug Wilfley, owner and general manager at Windermere Valley. “It is well-suited for walking and for families, yet the putting greens and course conditioning ensures that golfers of all skill levels will have fun.”

The course offers ease and relaxation to the more advanced player, yet is not terribly challenging for the novice. The most difficult spot, as noted by Wilfley, would be on the signature hole, No. 4.

“A long par 4, especially from the upper tee box,” he said. “With a slight dogleg left and out of bounds on the left, it requires two pretty good shots to reach the green in regulation.”

While the fourth hole may be the signature hole on the course, Wilfley said that the members of Windermere Valley favour to the closing par 5.

“It is slightly downhill and with a favourable breeze can be reached in two,” he said. “A good chance for a closing birdie.”

There’s certainly nothing like a solid end to a round to send you off to the clubhouse in high spirits. The Windermere Valley clubhouse has recently added a lounge area to their already phenomenal restaurant, Kari’s Kitchen, where you’ll be able to relax with good times and good family food.
