Golfer Reviews
Course
The greens were in good shape. Fairways at not good at all. Pace of play was good.

Subpar
Yes pun intended! For the money, it's a solid course, but the course conditions leave a lot to be desired. The fairways are patchy, and the rough is usually dirt. If you're relatively new to course play, then this course is probably not for you. If you're experienced, and can shape some shots, then this course can be a great value deal. Not many regulations courses for the money.

Ugh!
Was desperate to get out to play 18 on a short notice and only found Willowick. The course is in bad shape. Tee boxes are horrendous right now. The fairways are a joke. You need a Ford Raptor to drive on them and cart paths are even worse to drive on. The greens look like a skinned giraffe. The pace was maddening. 5.5 hours. A group of girls in front of us were driving their carts on the greens and parking them there to putt. Then, they’d drive onto the next tee box, park, and tee off. They were actually mad at ME for asking them not to do that. No Marshall? Just a bad experience all around. The girls let us play through but it still took forever to finish. I won’t be coming back. Look elsewhere brothers and sisters. Or, ignore my review and find out how honest I am for yourselves. Play well!…just at another course.
Sad conditions
Course is in sad condition. Several homeless people living on the course.

Muni
Willowick is a nice muni. Greens were in pretty good shape and fairways ok. Course just needs some TLC and it is fine. It allows the use of all clubs and is a fair course.

Fun course
Overall the course is a lot of fun. The fairways are pretty messed up as are many of the greens. But the layout is a really fun and I would definitely come back.

Course Needs a Makeover
My wife and I have played here plenty of times over the last 8 years. It’s never been in pristine shape, but I don’t remember it this bad. Greens are tolerable, the fairways are just the worse! So patchy and bumpy. If you hit it in the fairway you’re hoping that it lands on some decent grass. And the other issue is the snack bar and restaurant still not open. David L Baker even has theirs open! Sorry to say we’re not returning. Too frustrating!
