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.

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.

Very nice course, play could have been faster but the pace was acceptable considering the weather was great; and the course gets a lot of play.

Top 5 Course in Upstate, SC

Willow Creek is a bit pricey compared to other courses in the Upstate, SC area but is always a well maintained course with very nice, clean facilities. I enjoy playing here every time. At least you can see where the additional money you pay is being spent. I would play more often if it was a bit cheaper!
