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.

Nice Round
Always seem to enjoy Willow Creek. One of my favorite local courses.
Little disappointing
Booked at 27.00 with 6.00 conveince fee and tax we paid 33.00 plus , only to get there to find out it was cart path only. Definitely not the value I normally get from Golf Now. Greens were good fairways were not even fit to walk on , in some cases.
Willow Creek is in excellent condition. I love the new greens. Can’t wait til spring comes and the course “greens” up. I know it going to be a gem to see.
Nice Course
I love playing Willow Creek. The new greens were great but pricing to play there seems to have gone up considerably. Friendly staff.
New greens are nice
Good layout. Very playable course. The new greens are rolling very nice. Course is in good shape.
Down the Mountain
Our foursome of "senior golfers" took a trip down the mountain this morning for a new adventure. Boy, were we pleasantly surprised! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The course was in beautiful condition, especially for this time of year. It was a nice layout and very player friendly We can;t wait to make a return trip!
Love it
This is my new favorite course in the upstate. Staff was very friendly, the amenities and practice area are top notch for a public course, and the course itself is in great shape and offers a good challenge. It is set in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood.
We got a little backed up, but you can probably expect that with the older crowd playing during a weekday.
Can’t wait to play willow Creek again
Honest review
Course was in good condition the new greens are coming in nicely hopefully by spring they can be a little faster because they are really slow now.Met Amber in the grill and she was nice and attentive I plan on going back.
Reverse Course
Played a round of golf at Willow Creek today. First time ever breaking 100. The course was reversed due to the greens being replaced. The tee boxes were in front of the greens, the holes played back to the original tee boxes, and the white tee boxes were set up as the temporary greens. The temporary greens were about the size of a parking spot in most cases. The course may not have been regulation, but it was fun and challenging all the same. I can't wait to play there again, once the greens are back open and the course flows the correct direction. The new greens are supposed to open August 30th.
Fun, Fun
Last time playing the course backwards. The regular greens will be open next Friday. It is challenging playing the course backwards. Makes you think more than usual, especially on drives as the landing areas are not generally wide where the ball will land. Also, approach shots to such small greens is interesting. Really enjoyed this approach to the game.
Fun
OK, how many times do you get to play a course in reverse? It was a bit of a challenge since this is not the normal way to play. Yes, the greens are what used to be the tee boxes and they are quite small. Probably why I only hit 2 greens all day. Although I wouldn't want to play this direction all the time, it certainly made you think on the course, which made it somewhat fun.
The fairways were in excellent condition. Some of the best I have played in a long time.
So, just go and have some fun. Where else can you play for $20?
Temporary Greens
My impression of this course is very skewed by the temporary greens. It was beautiful and can't wait to play it when the regular greens are in place. The temporary greens were awful. Some of the tees were like 60 yards past the normal greens/tee box and made Par 4 or 5's basically all 3's or even less if you can imagine that.
Seems like a great course
I think this is a good course, unfortunately they are working the greens presently and we were forced to play the course in reverse. Teeing off from just in front of the greens and putting on the tee boxes. It seems like a nice course and I will return when I can play the course in the correct manner.
Great course!! just not right now
Wait to play!!! They are replacing greens and it's a mess. Wait until August/September to play and it will be fantastic!!
great course once greens get fixed
It was an ok round only because greens was being renovated.So played each hole backwards.Which means in front of each green was actually the tee shot and the tee boxes was the greens.Very small greens to hit too so made it very difficult to hit good approach shots into greens
Always liked it
Always really liked the layout. Usually in good shape. Fairways were great. But greeens are gone. Burnt up or something
