If you’re a keen golfer, Windsor Country Club Golf is an eighteen-hole course with beautiful greens – some quite challenging – on gently rolling hills. The natural features of the course – hills, slopes and river flats – make for a beautiful round of golf. The club Bistro has a full menu which is quite tasty. While you can see this beautiful 18-hole course from Hawkesbury Valley Way (across from the hotel), the entrance to the facility is tucked away in a South Windsor residential area – check your GPS.
