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.

Great bang for buck

For $12 walking I couldn’t ask for more.

Course maintained well enough, especially considering how rainy it’s been.

Challenging holes and creek features, keeps you on your toes

Also a great walking course finished comfortably in ~4 hours

Definitely will be back again soon!

Difficult to play due to many fallen leaves

I played several times in this golf course but, this time was very difficult due to many leaves on most of fairways. It's very difficult to find the balls around the fairway and disturb to concentrate on the game.

Best course for the money.

The greens and bunkers are well maintained, better than most courses costing 2 or 3 times more.

Best I Ever Shot

I'm a hacker so an 84 is a huge deal for me. That said, the course was a great value! I got to use just about every club in my bag. Staff was friendly and accommodating!

Fairways are horrible

I know it's cheap, but I've seldom golfed at a course in this bad condition. Fairways had large swathes of mud and tractor tracks, more from careless mowers than golfers. The staff was rude an negligent of their customers and I felt like I was treated like I wasnt worthy to golf there. Overall unhappy with my round
