Signature Adventure

A round on holes two and seven — both ranked among the tour's ten toughest during Windsor's professional-event years — on a championship course wrapped in Sonoma County vineyards.

Windsor Golf Club is the former tour-stop course of central Sonoma County — an eighteen-hole layout designed by Frederick C. Bliss, ASGCA, that opened in 1989 and went on to host PGA Nationwide Tour and Nike Tour events through the 1990s. The course sits in a landscape uncluttered by neighboring homes, surrounded by Sonoma County vineyards and the Mayacamas in the distance: lakes, a meandering creek, and mature oaks across a gently rolling site. It is championship-pedigree golf at a public-course price.

Experience Highlights

18-Hole Championship Round

Par 72, ~6,650 yards · the former PGA Nationwide and Nike Tour layout

Grass Driving Range & Practice Greens

Separate chipping and putting areas, plus a full pro shop

Golf Car & Club Rental

Available on site for walk-up or booked rounds

Charlie's Restaurant

Lakeside dining overlooking the 18th finish, open for events

The layout plays par 72 over roughly 6,650 yards, rating 71.7, slope 127. Holes two and seven were both consistently ranked among the tour's ten most difficult during Windsor's professional-event years, yet the course as a whole is relatively forgiving — strategic enough for serious players, playable enough for casual rounds. An extensive fairway sanding program keeps Windsor a twelve-month course, which suits the year-round wine tasting available immediately outside the course boundaries. Charlie's Restaurant overlooks the lakeside finish, and a full grass driving range with separate chipping and putting greens rounds out the facility. Windsor sets the standard for value golf in the North Bay.

Experience Details

Golf shoes with soft spikes, sun protection, and weather layers. The grass driving range and practice greens are open for a warm-up. Windsor Water District customers should bring a copy of their bill for the resident rate.

Provided

Eighteen-hole course, grass driving range, separate chipping area and putting green, golf car and club rental, pro shop, and Charlie's Restaurant on site for events and dining.

Eighteen holes on the championship-pedigree course. Resident rates apply with a Windsor Water District bill; senior, junior, Youth on Course, and twilight rates are available.

Price Excludes

Golf car and club rental are separate. Twilight timing changes seasonally. Food and drink at Charlie's Restaurant are not included.

Not Recommended For

Not ideal for beginners intimidated by water hazards — the lakes and creek come into play across the layout. Holes two and seven are genuinely demanding. Weekend mornings are best booked ahead.
