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.

When we started , there was no rain. It started to rain hard about the 6th hole. Ordinarily, this isn’t a big problem because you can get a rain check. I’ve played here many times with out ever having a problem. But , since I booked the t-time on Golf Now, as a hot deal, I could NOT get a rain check for the 3 of us that were unable to continue on the back nine. I wish I hadn’t used Golf Now, since the weather was cold and raining and we were the only ones on the course.. Lesson learned!!!

It was very comfortable

I rounded today as well as yesterday.

I am very grateful for the announcement when the start time comes..

There are no announcements on Japanese golf courses.

The reception staff was very kind and happy.

Today was a score of 39-42.

I want to go again.

It ’s a very interesting course.

I came to the United States and played golf for the third time.

This golf course is close to the course, but it is easy to understand because there is the next teeing ground as soon as you hole out.

It was easy to play because the outlook was good even for the first time.

Today's score was 40-42.

I also want to play again.

Great deal fun layout

Beautiful 70 degree day to go sub 70 for 1st time this year. The fairways and greens are in great shape. The layout is prime for going low but be aware of the hidden dangers they can pop up and bring bogey as good score on holes. Great deal!

Good value, good shape

Played this morning and the course is well maintained. As it was the first time playing the course, our only issue was knowing where the hazards are. Enjoyed the round and walked it in less than 3 1/2 hours.

Well maintained course

Beautiful course, well laid out and obstacles make you think your way to plan shots. Errant shots can make life difficult but a fair course that tests you.

Great Value. Nice course for the money

I’ve never played 18 holes during the day for 20$ and have the course in this good of shape. Definitely coming back again!

Course was completely over booked for a Wednesday afternoon in September. Pace was miserable and this is the second time in a month it’s been that way here. I will not play here ever again, too many other options that are price equivalent, and quite frankly nicer courses.
