Willow Creek Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Situated between Greenville and Spartanburg, Willow Creek Golf Course is a favorite course amongst many area players. The course has a classic layout that starts out gently with a player-friendly front nine but then becomes much more challenging on the back nine. The layout is a seemingly mild 6,890 yards from the back tees but it can feel longer because of all the elevation changes you'll encounter. It's a golf course that will appeal to beginners but advanced players will also enjoy the many risk-reward opportunities that can be found throughout. Water hazards come into play on eight holes and there is a slew of strategically placed bunkers lurking along the greensides. The par-5 fifth hole is Willow Creek Golf Course's signature. This 516-yard hole tumbles across rolling hills with a stream that cuts right through the fairway.

Horrible Golf Experience
We were in a group of two and had to wait forever for the group ahead of us. From the beginning, we had to chase down the starter to get a golf cart. I was walking towards him to show him the receipt for our greens fee with cart, he took off in his cart to go find some shade. The marshal should have warned golfers about their slow play and allowed us to play through but no chance of that happening. From the starter to the marshal to the guy in the pro shop, none of them were friendly whatsoever. We even had to wait for the employee to get back in their vehicle to move and not block the driveway at the bag drop. It was a very bad experience and after 12 holes and ridiculously slow play, we left the course. What a waste of $88.
Bang for your Putt
Course was in great condition and we picked a perfect time to play. I really enjoyed the Creek and look forward to the next time!
First Impression is Important
Showed up for mid-day tee.time to be greeted by a friendly starter who’s main objective was to keep things moving. He ask for our tee time and ask you if we would be ready if he could start us. We said yes and was paired with other golfers. Off to the 1st tee slightly ahead of schedule.
I sorry I can’t call his name but hats off to his efficiency.
I play here probably 1-2 times a month. Course is in great shape right now. Greens are rolling smoothly and consistently. Definitely a good time to get out and play the course. I recommend to anyone.
Course in very good shape
Pro shop and out staff were extremely friendly. Made sure we were where we needed to be at what time. Course was really really full. Ranger was doing his absolute best but groups looking for balls took some time. Definitely go back. My playing partner had his best round in sometime and he’s is already talking about when can we go back
Excellent condition
The golf course is in excellent condition from tee to green all the way through. The layout is challenging but fair. Sometimes the pace of play can be a little slow as the course is busy most every day.
Played front 9 twice to work on the back 9.
Have played here many times! Love the course! Everyone is friendly, but a tough course to walk. We did not know they were punching the greens on the back 9 so we played the front twice. Not a problem and had a great afternoon there!
Over booked
Willow Creek over booked and our t time was backed up an hour . Scheduled time was 11:40. We arrived at 10:50 and checked in, guy in pro shop said nothing. We were informed of the delay when checking with starter. They should have at least offered to give us range balls.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review and bring this issue to our attention. We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced and will make sure to address the issue with our staff to ensure better communication in the future.
I’m not a great golfer, heck I’m not even good, but feeling rushed by people behind us doesn’t help. We played on a Tuesday afternoon and it was busy, always people behind us. This was a nice course, so I would assume if it’s like that on a Tuesday, then it will always be busy. Really nice course, good hole layouts, great staff, and nice amenities. I would come prepared to play at a quick pace.
