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.

Refund

I would greatly appreciate a refund for 1 of the rounds I purchased as my friend/playing partner experienced a medical emergency morning of the golf round and was unable to play. So I've been charged for 2 rounds and only used one.

Good value good time

For what I paid, excellent value. I’d play it again. No range to warm up is a bit of a negative, but you can’t expect every amenity at this price. The lack of rain made some areas really firm, and it likely contributed to the fairway grass being long - there isn’t much anyone can do about that when we are in a dry period. Overall, good time and good value.

Good Value

A good course for the price. Some burned out tees and places in the fairway, butthe greens were very good. Expected with drought conditions. Git around in 4 hours on a Saturday afternoon.
