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.

Very friendly staff, great golf course

Very nice place to play, fairways look good, greens in good condition. That time of year where the leaves become an issue. Maybe blow the greens off a little more often. Thanks

Hidden Gem

Played here several times this summer. Some would say it a short course, but most holes require positions over distance.

Fairways and greens in good condition. Yes some fairways are not pristine, but play well.

Almost all of the traps are playable. That says a llot, courses costing a lot more have only 50% of trap’s playable.

Will return to this course again and again.

Nice Course Great price

I played here a couple years ago heard the course may be closing. I assumed they would let it go if they were closing and I was wrong. The greens were great. Grass is very green.

Cart path is rough, drive on the grass

Not bad when on sale

When you can play and it's on deal it's not bad. But when it's full price the poor cart conditions, terrible in many places cart paths and trash bags of ice when you buy beer is disappointing. The course itself is very nice, but some investment in things would also be nice.

Nice course. Great value

Pace of play was a bit slow but no big thing. Very nice course especially for the value. Joined a twosome and they were both great guys to play with. I'll be back for sure.

Decent course for the money

Course conditions were decent, layout was awesome, not too difficult of a course to play. Only issue is the cart path is like going off roading in a cart. Almost got throw out a few times and my clubs were rattling around in the back like crazy. Once you get past the bumps, the course is a great value for the money
