About
Opened in 1929, Willowick Golf Course in Santa Ana is Orange County's oldest public golf course. It is a challenging layout that has garnered a quite a following over the years. The course features wide fairways and large greens that offer ample room. There aren’t any water hazards a few strategically placed sand traps come into play and there are also mature trees lining the fairways. Golfers will get to practice a variety of different shots on this course. It is player-friendly enough for high-handicappers but there are still some challenges for low handicappers. The excellent condition of the greens and fairways are inviting no matter what your skill level. In addition to the golf course, Willowick also offers a grass driving range and three practice putting greens.

Worth the money
The overall layout for this course wasn’t as bad as I had read. The tee boxes could use a lil love as well as the fairways but it’s very playable and worth the price. The greens were in good condition as well. Pace of play was good although many of the holes are tight and right on top of each other so you will have other players in your fairway hitting their approach shot but it’s not a big deal. We got asked by the marshal to pick up the pace on a 372 par 4, with the group in front of us just getting on the green, and 2 separate groups in our fairway. Kinda funny but I like the efforts. Definitely will play this course again.
Greens are in condition
Greens are in very good condition. Fairways are rough but playable.
Good for the money
It was good for the money fair ways. Need some work
You get what you pay for…
Sunday round for $54 w/cart in O/C… da Wick is what it is, you’ve been warned
Awesome management.
The GM here and his staff are incredible. Super friendly and have some good gear inside which you wouldn’t think at first. Fun course and the bang for buck value is all there. Will come back often.
A bargain
For the money is a fairly long course with a nice layout for beginners or high handicap
Good public
For a cheap public course. It’s not bad. Tee boxes definitely need some TLC and the greens roll like you’re on a thick carpet. Easy to shoot low in those conditions.
Goff times
The course is better with the new management change.
