Willowcreek Golf Course in Sun City has one regulation length 18-hole course, the Willowcreek Course, as well as one executive length course, the Willowbrook Course. The traditional layout of the Willowcreek Course features three lakes that form water hazards that come into play on four holes. The course is relatively flat but there are some minor rolling hills that cause uneven lies. The fairways and greens are consistently in good condition on both courses and they are both considered very user-friendly. The Willowcreek Golf Course facility used to be private but it is now open to the public.

Green side traps

Traps have enough sand but need to be compacted. Too fluffy to execute correctly. Also players need to be reminded to rake.

Legitimate challenge for Mid handicappers

Fairways and greens in good shape. Most [not all ] traps have good sand depth. Enough water to make it interesting but not overly too much of a factor. Course was loaded so it took 4.5 hours to finish where 3.75 - 4.0 hours should normaly be sufficient

Standard Sun City

Course was in great condition, as expected for this time of year. Layout is pretty standard Sun City fare; flat, small greens, straight forward layout. Greens were in good shape, on the hard and slow side. People who frequent this course don't seem to care about fixing ball marks, there were plenty of them for so early in the morning. There was a particular 3 on the back which had a massive tree directly in front of the blue tee box, unless you have a 20 yard hook in your bag you're stuck bailing out to the right side of the green. For $40 there's more interesting courses in the west valley. Staff was nice, facilities show their age.

Course is in very good condition, and the staff was very friendly. It was very busy, but our 4 some played in just over 4 hours. Is worth playing again, especially if you can get a discount.

Worth a try....

Course was in decent enough shape, wide fairways, greens rolled true with a good deal of subtle breaks (and not so subtle ones), pace of play was below average with bigger then normal back ups on par 3 holes, overall a good value that pretty much mirrors the whole Sun City circuit of courses.....

good experience

As expected when playing a course for the first time, it took me a few holes to get used to the course variations. I learned to trust the hand held GPS and did fine. The course was in good condition and the greens could be difficult (pin placement) but in good shape. The only negative was the poor use of flag color to determine front, middle, back. The colors meant nothing in a few cases.

Need Ranger.. Slow play !!

This course allows 5 player groups that walk & are SLOW !!

There is NO RANGER to get some of these groups to keep pace, there was a group of women that had 5 groups right behind them & waiting on each hole when they had 3 holes open in front of them which resulted in over 2.5 hrs front nine at which point 2 players in my group gave up & called it a day, this course really needs to keep the groups moving along but they don't even try.

A Bit of Heaven Again

So we had perfect weather on a Saturday and we have played here before....no memorable holes but always a challenge on all of them. We were set for a 12:45 tee time and got launched 15 minutes late. The front nine was a bit slow but pace picked up markedly on the back so we got finished before sunset. The course is in really good shape and the greens run true and fast.

It has a typical Sun City layout but enough wrinkles to keep you on your toes. All-in-all we will be back!

Nice course but very slow pace

I like the course and in good shape but very slow play, practice putting green was packed, couldn't even practice... typical Sun City course catering to the snow birds and sending out as many as they can, I was warned that the course was notorious for very slow play with no marshall and it was, 12:52 tee time and barely made 18, almost 3 hours for front nine... that's my only complaint, I play the northwest valley at least twice a week and this the slowest I've experienced yet this year.

Course in good condition

Too many 5 players groups. No policy for letting smaller groups play through. Pace very slow, took over five and a half hours to play.
