Super wet

I played with a buddy and he said it right. The place is so wet they should have closed it for a week to let it drain. The 17th fairway has not been cut in at least a week and looks like there is no fairway there. They can't control the weather and it's unfortunate because it's not a bad course if it was dry

Not a good kind of special....

It was quite the interesting day out at Willow Creek. Staff was very friendly and helpful, but the overall shape of the course left us wanting more. It was very wet and that is understandable with storms the previous day. But whoever had the job of cutting the fairways was either drunk or just plain didn't care because they were streaked with rough-length grass and a few holes didn't have a distinguishable fairway at all. There was also an incident where the fire department was called because it seemed another patron's golf cart had caught fire and erupted in flames, I just hope whoever was involved is doing alright. If this reviews needs any clarification, we will NOT be returning here.

A course reborn

This was the first course we ever played on 8 years ago and it was so sad as it fell into disrepair. So very glad we revisited because the new owners have done miracles with this course. Well groomed, well tended and well watered, the tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in great condition. a relatively flat course but with enough variety to really make it interesting.

Fun course with an interesting layout

Course was in great shape. I enjoy the layout of this course as it seems each hole has something about it that gives it character. Staff was very friendly and I'd recommend golfing here if in the area.

Sprinklers??

The staff was very nice. Came from out of state picked the course blind on golfnow. It was a nice course BUT seriously it was so irrigated that the greens swallowed up approach shots from farther that 20 yards out and some areas including teeboxes were just muddy as a result of over watering. Dear Owners, save some money and improve course conditions, turn off the sprinklers. Its a win win.

First time playing at willow and I was amazed. Especially since I got my 18 for $10.00 through hot deals. The greens were flawless. Played fast and the fairways were fairly decent. I will definitely being playing again.

I had not played the course for several years because being transferred to another state and when I return to this area, my friend and I decided to play it because the last time was 10 years ago and the course was not in good shape. To our surprise the course was in excellent condition, fairways and greens were excellent.

Not bad. But don't trust the yardages.

I found this course to be somewhat of a challenge. You can't just bomb away at it and expect a good score. It's more or less places an emphasis on being able to hit draws and fades. And yes, there are spots that are completely burned out. But, as like many courses now that don't have a $300,000 yearly maintenance budget, it could use a good soaking. Just keep that in mind, especially if you book with the Hot Deal. The greens were perfect, however. They were some of the nicest greens I've seen all year. My only knock on the course is the yardages. It plays a lot shorter than advertised on a few holes. But other than that, the course is very nice and I absolutely would like to play there again.
