Wynding Brook Golf Club

Detailed description of Wynding Brook Golf Club

Wynding Brook Golf Club is a public 18-hole golf course with membership options located in Milton, Pennsylvania.

The course was originally a nine-hole course that opened in 1926 named Otzinachson Country Club. The 9-hole course was designed by Alex Findlay. The unusual name "Otzinachson" was derived from the Indian name given to the Susquehanna River, meaning "the river of caves."

In 1953, the golf course added nine new holes to become an 18-hole course, following a $50,000 fundraising campaign termed "Operation big spread."

Nearly ten years later, in 1962, the club's name was changed to the "Wynding Brook Country Club."

The course uses Wynding Brook creek effectively to create several unique holes. Holes on the outside of the property have more elevation change.

Par for the course is 71. From the back tees, the course plays to 6,367 yards. From the forward tees, the course measures 4,880 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 11, a par-5 that plays to 552-yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 9, a par-3 that plays to 103-yards from the back tees.

Watch out for # 15, a 400-yard par-4 challenge, and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole at Wynding Brook is # 9, the short 1o3-yard par-3.
