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.

Could be better
The greens are good. The rest of the course needs some serious tlc. A little maintenance would yield great returns...but I doubt that'll happen. I'm thinking a real estate investor will soon make an offer on it for condos.
Great for the beginner looking to get into 18 holes
Wide open fairways for beginners, some challenging bunkers but great course for someone looking into 18 holes
Ah no!
Go to their website, look at the feature image...not this course!
It's nasty. Period.
No such thing as a fairway. Basically clumps of grass and weeds in dirt.
Great place around..
Money wise is good. Great place to practice, overall I love this place and I will recommend.
Excited to play it again
As an early bird, I was more than. Pleased with my experience. Expected to hit the range for a few before a 7:20 am back nine reservation, but the starter, who was very thorough about the course, let me out early and solo.greens were true, with challenges, tee boxes were decent, fairways need love but I’m looking forward to playing this one again.
Waste of Money
For the amount of money that you pay for green fees, its not worth it, i have played other courses sometimes for way less but more beautiful and more maintained
Great Value, friendly and accommodating staff
This is a great old course, We’ve been playing here for years.
jJim and the other staff are always friendly and accommodating. The only down side to this one is there is only one bathroom opportunity. Other than that, great course. layout and greens are well maintained.
Nice Place
I always have a good time here. I'm not a good golfer, and the course is pretty easy.
I’m not happy this course.
It’s price only good.
Course is not golf Mainternance , and very slow.6
won't be back
This tee time fit my day but the course is in rough shape, about what I expected and nothing to recommend.
