Willow Run Golf Course
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.

Good to practice a Round on
I paid $20 on for a round the course is very dry, last time I played is was extremely wet. Not my first choice, but the price was right at $20 for the round on Golf Now
Staff
Super slow pace and significant water on everything. Steer clear of this course a day or two after heavy rains. After a super slow 9 the gentleman manning the pro-shop threw me the keys to a cart and pointed me toward 14 (knowing it would be free sailing). Ended this round in a high note because of the staff! Great job!
its a good course
like the course.. No driving range or practice green though. Would like to see a ranger out on weekends. Had a 2some holding up 4 somes from the start.
for the Money not bad
Course was extremely wet, greens incredible slow as a result, pace of play is always slow, but this is to be expected from this type of facility
Great value
Played in 3 hours, course is in good shape, great value
Willow Run
I like playing this course. Every time I play it I enjoy the course. I was able to get in 18 holes in 2 hours and 15 minutes.
Old school feel .
This course is older and shows it .Has some bad spots that needs repair .They are way behind on the grounds keeping .Even with the lost balls in high grass.The value for money is good .
Back 9 much superior to front 9
Played blue tees. Good challenge on back 9. Watch out for creeks running across the fairways.
Nice course
Was a little wet an the greens didn't have a lot of breaks in them but all in all a very enjoyable round.
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
