Great course

Would definitely play again. Fairways and greens were in really good shape. Willbrook splurges for extra cushion in the cart seats. Not required but nice to have.

4 hours for 11 holes

The management need to find a better way to deal with large groups who take 6 hours to play a round.. Not only were we over a half hour late teeing off but after over 4 hours we only finished 11 holes and had to leave. Very disappointing considering the cost. I expected more. It was unfortunate as the course is nice and it may have been enjoyable....we'll never know!

Not so hidden gem

Willbrook golf plantation is sometimes referred to as a hidden gem. A gem it is, although not so hidden. The course does sit back from the main road through Litchfield and Pawley's Island, but it is not difficult to find. Nestled amongst several other top courses of the Grand Strand S.C., Willbrook is easily accessible. Upon arrival, there is staff available to get your clubs and check your Tee time. You pull up to what appears to be an old plantation house situated amongst old oak trees laden with Spanish moss. After checking in, you are directed to the starter near the putting green. He will either start you off of the front or back 9 and give you some advice on playing some of the holes. Throughout the course there are historical markers telling of some of the area's history. The layout is very nice, and water does come into play on almost every hole. However, it can be easily avoided on most with strategic planning. The fairways and greens were both in better shape than any of the other 3 courses I had played while in the area. Fairways were nicely trimmed and the greens were of moderate speed and rolled true. Price was a little more than other local course but not overpriced for the area and conditions. Play was at a slower pace due to time of day and year. (I played in mid July).A definite must if enjoying the area and looking for a fun round. And who knows, you might even see an alligator. I did.

Green conditions were terrible

Greens just punched and sanded. No warning when reserving tee time. Price way too high for greens conditions.

Super slow play-Covid cup liners-Seriously?

The course was a total disappointment. Overgrown trees everywhere-mind you-not strategic trees-just laziness of trees not being properly trimmed- 3 to 4 tee shots unplayable(from back tees).Very poor layout. Greens slow.-- I could get past that except for 5HR PLUS RD--I could have read War and Peace in between shots--And lastly-Cheap covid liners in cups-wow.Never again

Low country beauty

Willbrook is a low country gem with many live oaks, hanging moss, and the occasional alligator. From a difficulty perspective, it is both hard but fair. Fairways are wide enough if you can ignore the trees that line the holes and water is placed where it can come into play, but generally for bad shots only. The front and back nines have differing layouts with the back being tighter and the front being more open. When I played, the greens were in perfect condition and ran medium fast. If you start on the front nine, be aware that hole 1 is harder than the rest. Bogey is a good score and Par there is a bonus. I great enjoy playing Willbrook.

First time playing Willbrook. Everyone in the foursome enjoyed the course, and we plan to return in the future. Wide fairways were appreciated.
