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.

Course was in great shape, however, bunkers could have used more sand
Irealized that we have had a great deal of rain,but, maintenance should have raked the bunkers making the sand more payable.
Great course for great price
The course was fantastic. We really enjoyed the layout and the condition was perfect.
nice track
no cart girl, pace of play tooooo slow.
no ranger on course
otherwise it was great
course was in good shape and a nice track
Fun track, well maintained, very good value for $43.
A very playable track. I joined two other golfers who knew the course well, they were very helpful with attack lines from the tee box. Thanks Jim and David!
Great course...great value
The course is in excellent condition. The greens were quick but not too fast and were in excellent condition. The staff was great...I came in as a single and was matched up with another single and we were on our way well ahead of our scheduled tee times. I've played a number of courses in the area and Willow Creek is near the top of the list for conditioning and value.
Not an especially challenging course. Good for the infrequent golfer. Course in OK condition.
Not an especially challenging course. A few creek hazards and only one tee shot over water to a par 3. Nice contours, that are relatively friendly to a wayward shot. Not much long rough or difficult lies. Pretty course and some nice houses to look at. Food and beverages a little expensive.
Fun course
Not too difficult. Willow Creek is fun to play. It was in decent shape. Greens rolled well, hard, but a little bumpy due to aeration a few weeks earlier.
review summary
a very nice course. i'm sure it is wonderful in season. as good as can be expected in the middle of winter!
This course is fun to play.
Willow creek sold this tee time during a tournament. Tee time was 2 24 pm we started play at 3 30 and only finished eleven holes. The last two in the dark. Played there one other time through Golf now with no problems.
nice conditioned course
this is a very nice course that plays a little to easy from tee to green. there are a couple of holes that can play tough, conditioning and greens are first class.must play tips too even think of being challenged
Awesome greens
fun course with some tough holes and some easy holes. very little water that actually comes into play. a good bit of OB to deal with but overall a good course with some nice smooth greens. play can be slow at times if not in a foursome
Great Greens, especially for the time of year.
I have played here numerous times and it is always kept in great shape. Greens are very nice and true. Staff is excellent and they make a great burger. Play is sometimes on the slow side during the hot months but they are getting better at patrolling the situation
Very fun course!
This course is in real nice shape and was extremely enjoyable. The greens were small and very firm, which caused our group some problems. However, the course has a nice design and allows you to score well if you're on your game!
Fast green
Nice fast greens. Bunkers well cared for. Over great condition Only problem is pace of play. Took 5.5 hrs to play.
Great shorter par 4's for seniors.
Course is well maintained and the staff is always friendly. Greens are in great shape. Ruff is always cut medium to short so play moves well. Like the course a lot.
Nice condition.... great greens (on the fast side)
This course is always in very good condition. Today, the greens were outstanding. They're quick, but predictable. We played the white tees (@5800) which is probably around 200 yds less than what I'd normally play. There were no long carries to deal with but we still managed to find enough places off the fairway to lose a few balls, Nice Chili dogs too! and $2 drafts at the end of the round. Practice facility (range/putting green and chipping area) gets you ready for your round.
Enjoyable course typically in great shape
Play here often, and only complaint is that can play very slow at times
Great Course
Course was in great condition and is well maintained. Greens were in great condition. Course is challenging, but not too tough and fun to play. The pace of play was slow and I could not play the last 3 holes, but overall, a great course and fun to play.
Great Course
This is my favorite course. It is challenging but not difficult. Greens are fast. Great views
