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 Wick
As I've said before, the Wick is exactly like I like my woman -- cheap and easy!!
adorable course of moderate challenge
Willowick is an affordable course offering some long holes. There are no water hazards and not a lot of bunkers, but there are some strategically placed to be challenging. The course conditions can vary, especially the rough, which is sometimes very rough. The staff and golfers are friendly.
I like trying new courses and this is one I will not be back to.
I originally was thinking I was playing Meadowlark but somehow confused it with willowick. It was every bit of what you'd expect in municipal course to be but with no character. I'd rather play Costa Mesa Meadowlark or just about any other course. Sure they had some holes that had some length to them which made it more fun than Newport Beach Golf Course, but the sand traps were concrete and the layout was relatively boring.
The Wick has great features
Very helpful and friendly staff, could not ask for anything more.
The greens are the best feature.
The greens have always been in good condition anytime I have played there. The fairways are below average and rough is full of holes. However, as the fee is very reasonable it offers value to anyone who wants to get a round in.
Great narrow forgiving layouts Exc greens Hrd fairways and Ts
I was skeptical from what Ive heard and decided to try it. Played 18 by myself which for me helps me play better in my zone. Seemed busy but standard good flow for 4hrs game time or less. TS and fairways are mostly not flat and bumpy lays for second and third shots happen even middle of fairway. With the right attitude and focus K really enjoyed my round. Sliced balls were playable from adjacent fairways if you don't soft slices. No water but hard sand placement. Greens are mostly clean and fast. It's hard because the course isn't immaculate flat fairways and boxes but otherwise a great historic course.
Fun course
The course was fun and the staff were great and friendly
Refund needed
Tee off is a hoax. So mad right now. Second time I prepaid and it rained. I called to cancel and get refund, tee off tried to confirm with course but tgey did not answer, Christmas ruined with Family, THANKS TEE OFF, YOU SUCK !@!
