Willow Hill Golf Course

I got my first hole-in-one on hole two. A beautiful morning and a great course!

Very challenging 9 hole course with a great bar and grill.

The course starter was very rude and disrespectful. Threatened to kick us off the course for taking a second shot on the first tee, with nobody waiting behind us. Very unprofessional.

Great for a quick round. Very nice outdoor bar and views of the city.

It’s always a great time playing at Willow. Staff is always friendly. The food is good. Also, the only caveat to that is it’s a linked course lol other than that I love it. PS if you lose your ball left or right, leave it alone go straight and end your night lol.

Always an excellent value for a unique course. Good exercise walking 9 on this hilly course.

Amazing views, good variety of holes, somewhat challenging, but very, very fun!

This is a links style course. I like to play after work. It does get windy up there, so be prepared. The sunsets and views of the city are unrivaled. Sometimes it’s hard to find balls because the rough is fairly thick and there are flowering weeds there this time of year. The greens need some care as golfers often “forget” to repair their ball marks, but it is a public course so it’s to be expected.

Got my first hole in one yesterday in the 168 yard par 3 6th hole! Overall- a great place to go play nine!

Lost our range finder but the pro shop guy found it and held onto it for us- thanks

This course gets very windy, like gale force winds on a regular basis. This week it was particularly bad. Winds must have been 50 mph or more. To give it context, on the 5th hole, I had 150 to the center of the pin into the wind so I clubbed up and hit my 9i which is my 165 club. Flushed it and the ball ended up 75 yards short. On that same hole I teed off with my 2 iron which is typically 265 off of the tee and it went 165. As frustrating as that is, I was able to adjust and hit lower, penetrating approach shots to compensate. The really frustrating thing is that the greens are particularly difficult for a course of this rating. Combine that with the wind and ridiculous pin placements and it is a recipe for complete frustration. On two holes 7 and 9), the pin placement, combined with the wind made it virtually impossible to chip or putt and have the ball hold the green.i love a challenge, but this isn’t even fun. If the course was rated at 135 or something I would accept it, but not for what it’s currently rated at.

Course is really fun, no trees easy to find your ball. It’s links style so you never really have a flat lie. Bunkers are pretty deep but nothing like Scotland. You can see the Chicago skyline from some holes. Overall good course, the range was closed so that was not ideal. The only “bad” thing per se is the parking lot is just gravel. Same with all cart paths. I walked which was easy.
