Willow Run Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Fair
It is still early in the season but I would not play this course again. Fairways were mowed but tee boxes were uneven making find a good spot to drive from difficult. Greens in general were in good shape however they are very flat. If you are looking for a course that is very easy and. It challenging at all then you found the right course.
Excellent course maintenance and courteous staff. Will definitely return and great value booking through Golf Now.
Layout
Either scorecard or sign at tees should have layout of hole not just yardage. Would be helpful especially to 1st timers.
Great place
For the amateur golfers like me just the right amount of length and challenges. The cost was more than reasonable for the course conditions and time of year.
Tee markers
No tee markers for ladies, tee boxes in rough shape- overall nice to be playing golf in February
Willow Run
Challenging start, with some interesting holes.
A fun course
Course was in great shape. Fairways were cut and rolled, greens were fair and rolled true. Pace was good .
Great value for a round of Golf
Greens and fairways are good, pace of play during the weekdays is excellent.
Willow Run rocks
This is by far my favorite course in Columbus! The course is beautiful and the staff is friendly. I hate when courses rush you off to get home. These guys let you play as long as you can see.
Great weekday round
We had great weather, the course in great shape for getting close to end of season, we only had to wait the last couple of holes, and it was fun time with my little one there.
Always a challenge.
Mark and the other staff have this course in good shape. Will always choose this course when I can.
Dissapointed
The condition of the course was surprisingly poor. I played after a high school event, had I known that I would not have played that day.
Good valhe
I go out with my teenage Sons so I am looking for value Willow Run covers that for sure. For the price you can't beat it.

I found the course was a little short. Traps for the most part in great shape. Slope for this course is over rated more like a 110 rather than 125. Hole to tee box distance could be dangerous. Holes sometimes were too close for comfort. Heard some good things. For the limited times I get out, I will look elsewhere. This would be a great older retirees track.
Good Little Course
In a town of overly crowded "links" style courses this was a nice change. Not too difficult and pretty straightforward. I'll be back
Jack Kidwell
Nice course. It's true about the horrible cart paths. Because they stink everyone just drives where ever they want. One or two flys were messing with me but not bad. In great shape for not having rain in awhile. Oh yeah......the sand bunkers were horribly maintained.
