Mixed

Nice mom and pops type couse that challenges your accuracy off the tee...really small green. Back 9 need a little love with the vegetation, tree trimming. Entire course could use a good grass cutting. Green were in great condition and rolled smooth.

Overall, a descent course to play for a practice with a few challenging holes.

Great value

I’ve played this course 4 times this summer and fallen in love with it. Great layout on this shotmaker’s course with fantastic greens. My only issues are 3 holes on the back... 10 is so dry and burned out that half the green on this long par 4 cannot be hit onto because it’s concrete, and the whole area around the same hole is concrete/bare grass where there should be a collection area and rough....it makes a long/medium iron shot impossible. Then on 11, they need to remove/trim back some trees which can make the hole unplayable, especially for lefties. 17 is a ‘golf in a hallway’ hole with overgrown trees which needs a rethink - possibly cutting back trees and changing/updating the green complex to defend it, otherwise a decent player can just hit two 9 irons and make birdie, like I did today. LOVE this course...and if you fix those 3 holes it goes from a B+ to an A/A+ course. A true gem!

A great time

My brother and nephew came in from Indiana so I took them to Willow Creek. They enjoyed the course very much and the staff were very friendly. Course was in very good shape and had a great time.

Good greens

Greens were in good shape, most tees and fairways pretty rough. Glad I saw the course (first time playing) but won’t rush to get back as it is a bit of a drive for me. We didn’t enjoy some of the ultra short holes and “silly” doglegs.

Nice course

Staff here is very friendly and they have the best hot dogs although not sure they are serving food now. Only allowed in porta-potties now but they have been pretty clean. Conditions were good on greens and fairways but rough was tall and difficult to find balls even when you knew where they went. Pace of play was excellent. Will definitely go back.

Course conditions

I have played here several times this year,and the course is in great shape,the only thing I would like to see is that the ruff was cut down a little more,for those of us that don't stripe it down the middle,it can a times be a little difficult to find your balls,they have done a great job with this course,keep up the good work
