Not too bad

Overall a good place to play. Fairways and bunkers were in pretty good shape but the greens needs some love.

Fun course as a beginner

The course was overall in pretty decent shape. A few rough patches but we had a great time! As a beginner it was a nice course to play on. It wasn't busy on the back 9 which allowed us to be able to slow down a bit. The staff was really polite and helpful! I would go back again if I'm in that area.

Honesty for history willow springs is a cool course but to play I wouldn't. The greens are not good at all you pretty much had to chip when on the green.

Nice course for the everyday golfer

Nice course. A little aged, but fairways are kept up and greens are decent.

Wonderful Old Country Club

Course is a wonderful old course from a forgotten time when walking was the only way one could golf and equipment want out of control! As a result tees and greens are very close together. This along with fairways being in close proximity would make this course a shooting gallery at times.

When I played the course in the early morning I got around quickly and found an old school course with charm, several quirky holes and undulating greens. The greens conditions could be better. However, a previous review says the course is closing after this summer. If true it is a sad loss for the area.

Course needs lots of work

Not sure how long ago that “it was the country club” but it’s a long way from being somewhere that I would recommend to anyone. Maybe with a lot of work and money it could be a good place to play.

Sad to see it go

Willow Springs is closing after this Summer. I found the staff to be very welcoming. As I was traveling for work they offered a complimentary rental set of clubs (I’m a lefty). The course was very enjoyable. The greens were fine. No complains. If I was local I would find myself playing here frequently. Good value.

Greens need major attention. Layout is okay, it’s an old course. $30 for 18 holes is still worth it for a nice afternoon to work on your mechanics.
