Winding Creek Golf Course in Thomasville sits on land that served as a city landfill for close to thirty years before being reclaimed as a public recreation site. The transformation left behind a course with an unusual backstory and a character all its own.
The 18-hole layout presents a mix of uneven lies and shot-making choices that give golfers of varying handicaps something to think about, rewarding creativity around the property. The course is owned and operated by the City of Thomasville and is open to the public.
