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.

Rained on
I got rained on on hole 4 but other than that it was a great course
Fun Course
Very enjoyable experience. I have played this course many times and always find it a great place to play. Good condition for greens and fairways. A relatively short course from the white tees. Not a lot of out-of-bounds. I will play here again.
Good course
Good fairways, excellent challenging greens. A bit expensive under normal rates.
Willow Creek Golf
The course was in excellent shape. The staff must try it and make the effort of pairing singles and doubles together if the course is booked. That way players won't feel that they are waiting for the group ahead on every hole.
Willow Creek
The course is over prices during peak hours. Prepay through Golfnow and you will pay a fair price If you take advantage of the delas. The bugs on the back mine are extremely annoying.
Great course, great staff!
This was my first time playing this course. I got there an hour early than my tee time because the forecast was for rain. They had no problem sending us off. The course was in great shape and I am sure will only get better. I highly recommend playing this course, just keep it in the fairway because they are all tree lined. This course also has its share of bunkers!
Monday at Willow Creek was super.
On Monday I played Willow Creek with my retired Navy pal. We were paired with another twosome who were enjoying a day at the course. We had a great time. The weather was spectacular, the course was in great shape, the staff was friendly and helpful. It was a great day of golf. I played my best round in over a year even though this was my first time to play in about a month. I highly recommend Willow Creek.
Rude starter
From the very top, from all appearances, this course looked great. I went inside to the clubhouse, checked in, and made my way to the range with a medium bucket of balls (40 golf balls was $5).
The starter asked me what time my tee time was, and if I was a "Guest." From that point on, if he wanted to get my attention, he shouted "GUEST!!!!!!" Some what rude, and a strange way to start the round.
Fairways were in okay shape considering the dry and cold weather we have had in the first quarter of 2014.
Bunkers were in very good shape.
Greens were bumpy, but they were just pluged and are starting to come back to life.
Overall, it wasn't worth over $40 to play. It's worth the trip to head up to Cherokee Valley, in my opinion and pay about $15 less.
Hilly course
Used to playing flat courses in Fl. Lots of fun. Recently punched and sanded so putting was a challenge.
Weather
Would have been nice to know the greens had been aeriated recently, putts were all over the place... Will call before booking next time.
Greens aerated
Wish it was indicated when booking my round... It was like putting on a I-85!
Aerified greens
I truly enjoy playing this course. Great variety of holes, some challenging some pretty simple. I read on GolfNow that the greens had been awrified two weeks ago and thought they would have been in better shape. Little to no chance of making anything outside of 5 feet. I will go back later this season after the greens have healed.
Good shape considering
Played this course for the first time on 3/5/14. The greens had recently been aerated so I can't comment on their overall quality. The course itself was in good shape. The clubhouse facilities are outstanding. I can't wait to play the course once the greens and fairways grow out.
outstanding
Enjoyed myself will return to play enjoyed the hole location
Awesome course where no two holes are the same.
Beautiful course that is always in great shape no matter how many rounds get played. The bent greens provide a value you can't find in any course in the area at an affordable price.
Beautiful Course!!
This is a well maintained course with multiple tee boxes to add challenge to any golfer. Located in a beautiful neighborhood, makes it easy to relax and play golf while taking in the sites. This is country club golf for sure!
Really nice course.
This was my second time playing at Willow Creek. I enjoyed playing here. Course is in nice shape. Definitely recommend it.
The course is user friendly.
The tees and fairways are in great condition. Several greens have bare spots where the grass has died back. A couple of wet spots in fairways and around several greens but considering to rains we have had not real bad.
