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 track
Staff is incredibly friendly
Aeration was not near healed which made putting quite a challenge.
I’m glad they are working on them though
willow
Just a little over four hours which is acceptable though except for a backup late it would have been 3 1/2. Greens were the best part of the course and rolled very true. Course design was good as Par 3's and par 5's varied a lot. Generally used most clubs. Greens were guarded appropriately and a few pin placements were in real tough spots and I enjoyed the challenge. Always ready to go back
Willow Creek on the upswing
The course was in good shape for winter golf. You could see some new work taking place with the bunkers. Of course, there was a frost delay, but that was expected and the staff got us off as soon as all our players were there.
Willow
Great greens. Generous fairways. Very appealing to look at from the tee. Don't be afraid to move back a set of tees.. blue tees were fairly easy for this 10 handicapper.. great hot dogs
BMW championship
The course is in beautiful shape and is worth every penny. I can't understand why this course is not on the BMW charity golf championship here in Greenville because of the space to whole spectator as well as long enough for players.if you're in The upstate of SC this should be a must for golfer.
Just A Great Day
I am 78 years old and do not play near as much as I used to. I had the opportunity on 6-27-17 to go to Willow Creek with my son who due to work schedule gets to play very little. We were matched up with two other very enjoyable golfers and we thoroughly enjoyed the day. Golf now makes it easy for golfer like my son and I to get out and play occasionally. We will play again sometime and the course and courteous acts of the staff at Willow Creek will be remembered.
Best course I've played in SC
If this course was closer I'd become a member. Well maintained. Staff was cool. Golf facilities were great. Greens were sneaky. Faster than they look. Mix of easy and hard holes. Best course I've played out of the 50+ in played in SC. Would have liked seen tee times spread out a little more. Was slow due to popularity of the course.
Nice Afternoon
Course was great but slow due to tournament. It was beautiful afternoon so slow play was not too aggravating.
Loved the course, well groomed and cared for. excellent greens and fairways. Personnel were very good!
Nice course slow play
Pace was slow waited on every shot! Marshal tried to speed up group with two open holes in front but not until halfway through back nine
Well Kept Golf Course
This was the first time I played this course and I wish I had played there sooner! The greens were in great shape and overall the course was in much better shape than many area courses. I will be back!
This course is usually in better shape
For some reason the greens were in pretty rough shape on several holes which had gouges and other large areas of non green like conditions. Other than that the course was in decent shape but not up to it's normal condition.
