Rating Snapshot
About
Willow Run Golf Course was designed by a ubiquitous name in central Ohio, Jack Kidwell. The local designer played a role in creating many of the state's courses but he infused a different character into each. Willow Run has an interesting layout that will test your shot making skills as well as your course management capabilities. The greens are bentgrass and the fairways are accented with Ohio bluegrass. Correct placement off the tees is the key to doing well, especially on the front nine. Plenty of water comes into play throughout the golf course as well as several strategically placed bunkers. Willow Run's back nine boasts one of the most challenging par 4s in Ohio, the 13th. The green on this tricky hole is fronted by a meandering creek.

Definitely room for improvement
Cart path in disrepair, fairways, bunkers and greens need a lot of work to make this course worth playing. Carts were filthy. Would not play this course again.
Played Here in the 1980's
When I worked at Wendy's we used to have a yearly golf tournament here in the 1980's and early 90's. It was the first time back since. The greens were in good shape but slow but the traps and fairways were in very poor condition. Everyone at the course was helpful and kind. Probably wouldn't play again but it was fun to remember those tournaments.
Hit or miss won’t return with other options in the area
For the money the course isn’t terrible but there are too many better options in Columbus. We played here because of the 4 out of 5 rating ( it’s not a 4 out of 5). First the cart paths are worse than any other in Central Ohio, they are beyond dangerous, just rip them out. The course itself is fine with a few good hole but nothing memorable. Fairways were rutted out in low spots and several of the tee boxes were completely burned out. Also several weird dog legs. Bunkers are all trash. The greens were not terrible but slow and fuzzy. If you live close and want to play cheap it’s ok
Solid track for a great price!
Nice track and course, only issue is the cart paths can be rough to treacherous so be careful over bridges! If course receives water can be challenging since water is part of every hole except 1 & 10 for my game. Only lost one ball due to launching low drive down the middle of 18 into the creek! Usually only use driver on par 5's but learned my lesson as distance control premium for this course!
Most definitely will play course again as it was an overall 4.0 out of 5!
enjoyed the course
played with a friend and had a great time. Will come back in July with my brother to play again.
Very nice!!
This course was a very good hidden gem!! I didn’t give them a 5 because some of the fairways were still a little long and the cart path was Treacherous!! It is safer to drive your cart on the grass in some areas!!
Course in very good shape
Course is in good shape and is always a good value. The cart path does need some attention though.
