Willowcreek Golf Course

I played here early on a Sunday morning.

This is not a particularly interesting or challenging course, but the holes have enough variety in yardages, with some undulating terrain, so that it is not the boring pancake-flat snoozefest of a course that it could otherwise have been.

It is sort of a hard course to lose a ball on. The fairways are pretty wide, and the houses are set far enough back to not be intrusive. There is a very shallow drainage canal running along some holes, but it is easy to grab an errant ball out of.

I hear a lot of locals complaining about the greens, which were re-grassed this year. I believe they were not overseeded this fall due to being new, and the surfaces are very firm and fast. Personally, I enjoy this sort of condition, and this was one of my favorite things about today's round at Willowcreek. They putt very smoothly but I imagine can be frustrating to someone with a poor short game or someone who puts a lot of topspin on approach shots.

Pace of play was about 4:20, which would have been sub-4 hours if it weren't for a fivesome a couple of groups ahead that caused some waiting. Why these Sun City courses allow fivesomes during prime time, I have no idea, I think they do it either in part to discourage non-regulars/non-residents from playing there, or because the retieree clientele is in no hurry to go anywhere...

It is an easy course to walk, and I was not the only walker out there. 40 bucks to walk this course in a December weekend is a great value especially given the great conditions. I will definitely be back, even though I'm not the target demographic. In my opinion this is currently the best of the original Sun City courses.

Greens weren’t over seeded. Old Bermuda grass sprayed green and fast as glass. What a hoot. GolfNow should be ashamed for not disclosing this fact as an advisory prior to booking. Don’t play this course this winter.

This is the second weekend in a row that we have played Willow Creek. The greens and the course is outstanding. The greens are a little fast due to the new turf that was laid over the summer.. We played 18 holes with two people in under three hours and 45 minutes. Definitely our a course of choice.

They have made some improvements since last year. I was very impressed with how much better the greens were. I will come back again.

Amazing course. My girlfriend and I played here quite a bit before they redid the entire golf course and greens. Wow couldn’t believe how awesome the greens were and the fairways were like hitting on carpet. Will definitely be back next week in the play again.

we all enjoyed playing this course. the greens could use some water as they were very fast, other than that the course was perfect.

Back nine was closed, had to play the front twice.

Course not busy only front 9 open, new irrigation construction going on back 9. Friendly staff, and a beautiful day on the golf course.

Had a 1243 tee time prepaid on golfnow. Upon check in, reservation couldn't be found. After some keen research, it was found but not posted in their system for some reason. Guys were very helpful and took care of the confusion quickly. Thanks for making it go smoothly! We actually were able to get out early due to the mishap and were on our own as a twosome. Worked out GREAT. Finished in 3 hours, had a great day and the course was in very good condition; especially the greens. Thanks to the staff!

ok round but it would have been nice to be alerted that I would be forced to play the front nine twice.

according to another player golf now only explained the alert notice after the round was booked

My son who is an experienced player was turned away for not being 13. Decided to play elsewhere. Palmbrook country club was very inviting and accommodating. I know what your thinking, I wouldn’t want an 8 yr playing in front of me either; but he plays faster than most the adults or seniors I get behind and 13 is a ridiculous age to limit at, but that was these old birds thrive on is rules rules rules

Course was not up to the great standard they have set,the course needs to be watered several dry areas,had to play the front 9 two times the greens are great

This course is presently under reconstruction on the back nine. It would have been nice to know that when we signed up for the tee time online with GolfNow. The transition at the end of nine holes was seamless but still I would have passed on the tee time if I had known upfront that only nine holes were available to play....

Price was right. They told me they had no carts when I arrived and said I would have to walk or call Golf Now and get my money back. I called Golf Now and a cart magically appeared after they talked to the golf course. Good layout, but had some weird pin and tee placements.

With the two groups ahead of us both being fivesomes, there was a lot of waiting; esp. on the par threes. Sometimes, three groups waiting at the tee. And starting on one and ten with crossovers can really slow things down. Course was in pretty good shape.

They allow 5 people in a group. Play was very slow. Would not plat aga again. To many good courses close to Willowcreek.

Great course will miss it this summer (refit). Only complaint is the delay in cross over penalized 25 minutes and then put behind 2 extra groups for playing the front in 90 minutes. Happens quite often this time if year. Made 3 hour round 4:15 .otherwise a great track.
