Willow Creek Golf Course

I always look forward to a round at Willow Creek. The lay out seems to suit my game and the course is always well maintained. The practice facility is spacious with areas not only for long play, but a chipping and sand area as well as the putting green. The greens are bent and the brutal weather we've had has taken its toll along with the way too many players who don't repair their pitch marks.

The playability of the course is great! I played it for the second time yesterday (the first being back in 2010) the facilities have flourished and I had a great time! Now, the stuff everybody else puts on these reviews sites, THE UGLY. I am a partially guilty party in this I cannot assign any blame without taking some of the weight myself. My issue was not being ready to tee off on time due to misplacing an item not really needed to golf (my cell phone). However the range master managed to shuffle me and my partner around to get us back on track that was a huge positive. The negative was they place us between foursomes and we were a pair this they did consciously which caused our play to "bottleneck" where we were too fast for the group ahead and the foursome behind us were practically on top of us because the group ahead would not let us play through. Just a bit of better organization and I would give this place five stars! A lot of people complained of slow greens but they were really good on this trip.

The weather was hot and although this makes the greens more susceptible to ball marks (plenty on the greens) they putted quite well. Tee off time was noon and we completed the round in 3 hours.
I believe the ditch that crosses #5 could be cleaned better as the ball can bounce into it (hidden from view). The only complaint I have is that the sand in the traps is not consistent. One might be like powdered sugar (this I don't like for obvious reasons), another normal textured, and another a combination. To remedy this I need to not be in them!
Overall, had a good time and will be returning after I work on sand shots.

Compared to courses that will cost the same or slightly more, this course is far and beyond better. The greens were a little rough the last time playing there but this is a rarity. Overall the layout of the course is great, challenging enough to make you work for it but easy enough to relax and enjoy your time.

The mood at Willow Creek was very haughty. Surprising, as the ill repair of the greens did not really justify such snootiness.

The course is nice, but bad greens and bad attitudes towards the public did not welcome us.

The Ranger was very rude to us, but neglected to say anything to the "member" that we had been paired up with, who was walking.

I won't be returning.

Course is always in great condition. Today the greens were a little slow but still overall great.

I really enjoy the place at times players want to rush you why I don't know it's golf calm down and take it easy

Last time i played Willow Creek the greens were a little rough, but they have made a come back. The guys i invited kept commenting on how great course conditions were since the last time they played. Would recommend the starter be at the first tee to regulate pace of play though, guys line up and just wait till group ahead moves. But this just creates a back up on next holes depending on pace of play of the groups ahead, so a little regulation of when to go off would be helpful.

The grass in the fairways and greens was in great shape. My twosome finished right at 4 hours which was great. I wouldn't pay full price rates for it, but discounted rates is worth it.

This has always been my go-to course when I feel the need to complete a loop. The course was in terrific shape for early in the season. The only "negative" which is somewhat out of their control is that the close tee times can sometimes drastically slow pace of play if 2 or 3 groups in front of you start playing poorly. The course can't prevent poor play, just making a point...I think the times are only spaced 8 minutes.

All in all, though, this is a great local course to the Greenville/Spartanburg area and I'll continue to go back.

I play Willow Creek fairly regularly. Course conditions were very good for this time of year. Much better than the course I played last weekend. Staff is very friendly. I'll definitely continue to play there!

I have played the course before and it seems in good shape. The greens had been punched and they were rough.

Greens had been punched a few weeks back and still unputtable. Will be back later as this really is a great course.

Great round. The course is fun to play and has some challenge to it. Great value for what you get compared to most golf courses in the Greenville area.

Staff was unfriendly when we arrived, course was in bad shape & very open which made the wind that much worse, we played 3 holes in one hour & play was very slow

I've played this course when it was in much better shape. The greens were in bad shape and the pace of play of play on last 9 holes were very slow.

Nice course with some good variety. Greens putted true with good pace. Three hours and 45 minute round. Great hot dogs!

Have played this course for several years and have always enjoyed it for the most part. This day the greens were absolutely horrible. Lots of play on them and people not fixing their ball marks (not courses fault). The splotches of disease and dead grass on the other hand...probably. Regardless, the greens were really bad. I do recommend the course when the greens are in good shape but that would not be right now. Another thing, they should not be charging the prices they do when the greens are that beat up and its winter as well. Anyway, nuff said.

Willow Creek is a course I would not normally play unless with a associated discount of some kind. It is over-priced for the shape and conditions I experienced yesterday (Winter Time). It is played a lot and maintenance is an issue especially the greens as I rate them poor at best.

Good course and good condition. I would tell others to play it.
