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.

Don’t play
The price is okay to play. You will see trash, a lot of holes on the fairways, homeless people walking around sleeping on greens, better off playing somewhere else if you want your money worth
Gross
Homeless camped on course, a lot of trash, , lots of pot holes, grass not maintained. Don’t waste your money…
Homeless tents and homeless trash
They need to clean this up or it will just go down hill
You know what you're signing up for
Always enjoy playing here for the value. Still can't believe they allow homeless to live on the course. lol
Hit the fairway? Your ball will still be lost
Course conditions were some of the worse I’ve ever seen. I’ve lived on multiple golf courses so I’m familiar. Branches and potholes were everywhere. The course layout/upkeep was so bad + lack of signage (some were missing) that the group in front of us TEED OFF IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.
I golf with the same group of people and we lost about 10 or 11 balls… we normally lose 3-4
Thank you for sharing your review. We appreciate it!
Very bad course conditions
Don’t seem to have any grounds keeping crew as there are tons of pot holes, fallen trees and patches all over fairways.

I didn't want to write this...
I gave 5 stars for staff friendliness because that dude who works the window is nice. Unfortunately that's the only redeeming quality of this course...
The pictures on here are very misleading. I left my phone in the car, but I regret it, because I wanted to take photos of how awful the fairways are. I mean, really really bad. Potholes everywhere, massive sections of dirt, fallen trees covering cart paths and parts of the fairway, etc. The greens are in OK condition but man, just really disappointed. I'm not kidding, there's literally a small homeless camp about 70-80 feet from the 5th tee box. God only knows what's going on over there.
If the green fees were $15 I probably wouldn't be writing this, but to charge $29 or even $40 during peak times is an absolute joke. And with how packed the course was, where is all the money going? If you don't believe me, go play this course today and find out for yourself.
I hope they can turn this course around because it's in a convenient area and I can tell it would be a decent course if they just gave the fairways some love, picked up a few fallen trees, and cleaned up that homeless camp. The fact that I'm even saying that is ridiculous. The layout is good, it's not too hard, some of the holes are interesting and fun, but the condition of the course makes it hard to find your ball in the fairway at times and that's incredibly frustrating. Will not be returning any time soon...

Ghetto course
If you like homeless people camping out on course , spray paint gang symbols on the hole markers, then this is the course for you.
