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.

Willow run golf course
Course in decent shape. Rained a couple days prior to playing. They were working on bunkers should be in great shape by summer
Great Deal
The weekday afternoon rate of $20 for all you can play is a very good deal.
Very good middle-of-the-road course
Not much in terms of elevation or unusual features, but it’s well maintained by friendly staff. There isn’t anything to gripe about, its an average Ohio course that doesn’t make you want to say “Wow, I gotta play that one again!” but it’s a good value.
Slow Pace
Overall experience was nice, aside from the rate of play.
It was a bit chilly for mid April, and quite damp. The greens fee reflected that fact and was very affordable. The course setup is good and it is a good test of skill.
Golfing at Willow Run
I really enjoyed the course. It was well groomed and the greens were excellent.
Great bang for the buck.
As always staff was very friendly. Played 18 wholes in just under 4 hrs. There's only couple of fairways that needs to be fixed but other than that fairways was in good shape. I like the cart paths through out the course but the definitely need some work. I really enjoy playing this course and would recommend Willow Run to anybody.

Very nice course. Creek runs through entire course and presents some interesting challenges. I recommend this course
Nice course
Greens are in really good condition for this time of year. Fun course, mature trees, really clean course!
Bumpy Ride
Overall Willow Run is a good deal. The layout is nice with a variety of hole types. Par 3's are varied which is always nice. The course ranges from straight forward par 4's to a few real challengers.
A few holes are kind of stupid with my least liked hole being 13. A par four down a hallway of a fairway to a sloped green. Too much all in one hole.
While the golfing surfaces are generally in good shape with greens that roll true the ride in a cart can break your back. The cart paths are bumpy and pot holed. You are more likely to drive in the rough to save your back but even that doesn't provide much relief since there are ridges and dips that will also compress your spine. If you can, I would say take a walk. The course is easily walkable.
great value for what I paid
Fun Course to play. Only problem 3 some slid in between holes 9 and 10 and slowed down our play. They were supposedly playing league play later on the front 9 and felt like they were entitled to start on hole 10 for an extra 9 holes. Course should have asked them to play front 9 or not at all.
