Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play WindMill Heights, and what should I expect from the weather?

We find late spring (May-June) or early fall (September-October) offers the best balance at WindMill Heights. The summer months are beautiful but can be quite busy, and you'll definitely feel the course's namesake wind more consistently then. Always pack layers; Canadian weather can be unpredictable, even on a sunny day.

What makes WindMill Heights unique, and are there any signature holes I should look out for?

WindMill Heights truly stands out with its rolling terrain and the constant challenge of the wind, especially on the back nine. Keep an eye out for the par-3 14th; it's a stunning downhill shot over a ravine, often playing longer than it looks due to the prevailing breeze. The views from the elevated tees are fantastic.

What are the typical green fees at WindMill Heights, and do you feel it offers good value?

Green fees at WindMill Heights typically range from $80-120 CAD, depending on the day and time you play. We think it's excellent value for a course of this caliber, especially if you can snag a twilight rate for a quick 9 or 18. You're getting a well-maintained course with character for a very fair price.

Beyond the course, what facilities does WindMill Heights offer, and what's the post-round vibe like?

The clubhouse at WindMill Heights is welcoming and unpretentious, perfect for a casual post-round meal or drink on the patio overlooking the 18th green. Their practice facilities are solid, with a decent driving range and a large putting green that accurately reflects the course's contours. It's a relaxed atmosphere where golfers genuinely enjoy recounting their rounds.

Do you have any practical tips for playing WindMill Heights that a first-timer might miss?

Don't underestimate the elevation changes at WindMill Heights; many approach shots require an extra club, especially uphill. We also recommend bringing a windbreaker, even on sunny days, as the gusts can pick up unexpectedly and really affect your ball flight. Pay attention to the subtle breaks on the greens-they often funnel towards the prevailing wind direction.
