Windy Knoll Golf Club

Windy Knoll Golf Club is built upon a patch of land that has bred well-documented success.

As a world-renowned horse farm, Windy Knoll was originally brought to life in the 1970’s by champion thoroughbred breeder Howard B. Noonan. His vision was to bring the grandeur, beauty and prestige of Kentucky’s successful horse breeding farms to Ohio.

The former horse farm that was home to Avatar, winner of the 1975 Belmont Stakes, Native Uproar and other Derby-quality course has now matured into a links-style layout that dares you to succeed with a bushel of risk-reward decisions.

Despite being one of the greenest golf courses in the Springfield area, architect Brian Huntley has masterfully preserved and integrated many of the characteristics of the original horse farm.

Among the acknowledgements to the equine history of Windy Knoll are the full-sized steel horse sculptures cast by Ohio’s Mike Smith, the several miles of black rail fencing, horseshoe tee markers and original stable buildings that have been converted into the cart barn.

With a focus on the sport and the spirit that surrounds fine play, you will find amenities that add comfort and convenience to the game that are both rewarding and challenging.
