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.

Slow

They need to have a ranger on back nine. I group in front of us were just playing around taking 20 on each hole! Not worth it. Cart paths suck!

Good deal for the money

Great Value

I've played this course two weeks in a row. $20 for 18 and a cart is an amazing value. (Booked through the Golf Now app). The course is in fairly good condition. Some of the fairways have some jacked up spots and some tee boxes are the same. Great course though. Fun layout and great employees! Pace of play is slow but that's to expected when the weather is great. The back 9 is twice as hard as the front.

Excellent Track

The course was in excellent condition. They greens roll true (I putted great). There is an excellent mix of water, sand, and well placed trees to make the course challenging enough for all levels of golfer.

Weather was just perfect, course was packed. The group in front of us were two women that were just learning the game but were hitting off the white back tees. They didn't even hit to the gold tees most the time. The man would not hit until they were in the middle of the hole. They the twosome in front of them were really poor golfers. Over four hours and it should have been 3.5. There was also a five some hitting into us. Very miserable to be in the middle. Should have been a ranger to correct these issues.
