Willowcreek Golf Course

The greens were in better shape then last year before the overseed but I wonder if after that rye grass starts to die if they will return to being in poor condition. For now, though it is in decent enough condition to be enjoyable....

Course is in very good condition. The greens are pretty soft, so there are a lot of ball marks that all the selfish golfers don’t fix. Excellent layout, challenging the average player. Two major negatives - almost all holes on front nine slope towards the creek and even if you hit on the fairway, with a little slice, there is no rough to stop your ball from going in. On the back nine, 14th hole is a nightmare. I hit my second shot, it hit short of the green, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FAIRWAY, and rolled into the water. Second negative - FIVESOMES.. THey’re everywhere. I don’t understand why Sun City lets 5-Somes out as a matter of course. Really slows down the play. We had no one ahead of us (we were 3) and when we got to #5, a long par 3, there were a 4-some and two fivesomes ahead of us. The play grinded to a halt. Please stop this practice!,!

Greens are much better this year. Really enjoyed

the round,

Course has really declined in the past few years. Greens were redone last year but still extremely hard and in poor shape. Fairways not even close to great condition of other Sun City courses. Missing a fairway will put your ball on the concrete grass and roll into the water.

Five somes all over the course for a weekend! Crazy.

Very disappointed and will not play the course again unless major improvements are made.

Willowcreek along with the other Sun City Association courses are the only courses in the Phoenix Valley I know of that allow fivesomes. With our fivesome today it took four and a half hours to play. The talk in the golf world now is how to speed up play. The Sun City Golf Association just doesn't get it.

My round took 4 hrs & 45 mins due to most groups are 5 somes

We finished front nine in 1hr 35 minutes. Had to wait to tee off on 10 for 1/2 hour because we played front to fast.

Greens had a few unrepaired ball marks.

New to the Sun City area, Willowcreek was #10 since Nov. 1st. Decent condition even in the adjacent areas just off and around each hole, typical in Sun City, . Pretty wide and flat like all the Sun City courses we've tried so far, not much trouble, greens rolled good. Staff was friendly.

Pretty good course with nicer greens ,fairways and sand traps

Course is in fairly good shape, some challenging holes with water hazards along the fairways. We were paired with a couple of golfers who played there before so we got some advice on where to land the ball to avoid trouble. Course was not too busy as it was pretty cold so we played in 3 1/2 hours. We enjoyed the layout and will be returning to this course.

Played here last year and the greens had no grass.

This year different story. The greens were true and Rabat a great pace. Quick but fair. Greens hold a good shot into them also.

Fairways and tees were also in good shape

It deserves a 4.4 star rating.

I played this course today and they started my group on hole 10. As we came around the turn to hole 1 the Marshall told us to hold on for 1 hour until they got caught up. Are you kidding me. They were sending groups of 5 players out and guys were just standing around with no one to push them along. I asked for a 9 hole credit and they told me this is normal. NORMAL? I’ve played hundreds of rounds and never had this happen. Long sorry short they didn’t give me any credits and my entire group walked off the course.

Greens were uneven and VERY slow and bumpy.....but early after overseeding and look forward to better greens after growth and mowing fixes them up.....otherwise played round under 4 hrs and was a pleasant experience.

Greens were in VERY rough shape. Lots of Canada geese along with MUCH evidence of their plentiful diet. Pace of play was OK 4:30. Typical Sun City layout and the sand traps had grass growing in them!

I used to like this course; no more!

About 25% of every green had no grass as a result of overseeding failure. Greens were no puttable. Stay away from this course until the summer.

Willowcreek raised their prices to play while cart path only is in effect greens in TERRIBLE CONDITION, These Sun City courses should NOT RAISE THE FEES while still on cart path only conditions, they should be ashamed, charge winter rates but only when course is without restrictions

Dry firm greens, take one less club. Otherwise, good layout. Enjoyable walk. Will definitely play again after seeding.

The course has improved since I last played it. The issue has been the greens and it still is . They are new so it will take 2 to 3 yrs. to get better and they are improving.

This place hasn’t had a great review in a wile. I’m here to say is a fabulous golf course. Greens are almost perfect, still a tad bit hard but greens and golf coarse are worth every penny. Highly recommended.
