Rating 71.9

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.

Course/Greens in great shape

Love Willow Creek for its forgiveness in some areas and difficult pin placements on Sundays. New Tif-Eagle greens have turned our beautiful and roll true. Pace of place is always good for me.

Course is great shape! Love the new greens!

Probably one of the best public courses to play in the upstate. The new greens are in great shape. The practice facility is top notch. Food is good. I’ve never had a bad round out here, but on the days the pace of play is under 4 hours it’s just better.

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
