Acquired by Island View Casino Resort in 2007, the 18-hole layout at Windance County Club is a Mark McCumber design that has hosted events on both the Ben Hogan and Nike Tours.
The Windance Country Club was forced to sell during 2007 and fortunately found a buyer in the nearby Island View Casino Resort, which now operates the course as an attraction for its guests and the general public.
Sitting near to the popular tourist destination of Gulfport, Windance is surprisingly not rife with wetlands. Designer Mark McCumber found his way toward the natural ponds and creeks on the property and, in some cases, made sure to bring his holes near to the constructed irrigation ponds for additional challenge.
The first nine snakes along the south and east borders of the property, calling for accurate shots with a combination of the aforementioned water hazards, as well as forested corridors. The second nine heads north a weaves between a residential area on the north side of Windance Lake.
Although just 6,650 yards from the back tees, the course has proven challenging enough to host events from both the Nike and Ben Hogan tours, developmental leagues for aspiring PGA Tour pros.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
