The second round of this trip to Florida brought me to Winston Trails on Sunday, 12/29/2019, another course that I had played once many years ago. I’m happy to have found that nothing has changed about the place, it’s still a very solid, no frills golf experience. Conditions were very good all the way around, the greens rolled nicely at a medium fast pace. Downhill putts could get away from you, and you needed to be assertive if you were going uphill. Fairways were a bit soft, not offering a ton of roll but still nice to hit from. The bunkers I found were very nice as well. Tee boxes were level, but a little bit shaggy. The group I was in wanted to play the blues, which are 7000 yards according to the card, but really felt a lot closer to 6600. Still, it was too much for them which made us one of the slower groups out there. Fortunately the group behind us didn’t push us at all, and the 4:30 we took for the round was fine. Overall a very nice place, and a very good value.
