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!

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.

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.

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.
