Willowick Golf Course
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.

Frequent Player of The “Wick”
Course is player-friendly. Greens are better after being recently aerated. Would llike to see better care for the fairways. Need to work on the drainage.
Also, need to have some offerings for food and refreshments.

Great muni for beginners.
Wide forgiving fairways makes for a less frustrating day of golf. This is a muni, so don't expect super groomed fairways! But it is a fun course

Rude Pro Shop Guy
Told the guy in the pro shop we made a GOLFNOW reservation for 10:50am. He asked if we were walking or riding. I said our reservation said it should come with a cart for $40.
He said not what I asked... Kind of bummed me out to be talked to like that by some stranger. The guy has one job to give good customer service and cant even do that right.
They also didn't have any range balls available.
Bar was closed too.
Pot holes on the cart path were a joke . Fill them...
Get the worthless guy from the pro shop to go pick up range balls and fill the pot holes. He shouldn't be dealing with the public if he doesn't know how to speak to customers.

Needs Help
We arrived and were notified that the back nine was closed and being aerated , no prior notice so we had to play the front nine twice.
The staff is very friendly but there are no amenities available at the course. The course is beat up and old, there are very few cart paths and those are beaten up.
This course is old, but works if you just want to bang around some balls with buddies and have a fun time.

It was a course I would never wanted to be
It was half-opened due to the renovation of the course..
I left the course after the 9th hole.

Awful condition
This was probably the worst maintained course I have ever seen in my life. Literally the worst. The fairway all were patchy everywhere and unkept and it honestly felt like we’re at a local park playing golf on the grass that kids play on. The greens were bumpy and terribly groomed and there was a 5 cart pileup on every hole. Terrible course and will never go again.
