Willowick Golf Course

Figured a little before noon mid-week would be a good time to play. Sadly, we were waiting at every hole to tee off. Often 2 groups waiting. Saw at least one fivesome, which are not supposed to be allowed. No marshal in site.. To make matters worse, our cart was acting up and pretty much died after the 10th hole. Called to report the problem and they said someone would be right out. 15 minutes later, no help. The course is in rough shape, with numerous muddy bogs (even with no rain for weeks) and endless gopher holes. Have played this course many times and this was the worst conditions and slowest play we have ever encountered.

The fairway and tee box were very patchy with lots of very wet areas. The green was also bumpy and patchy on some holes

Good value for the money. Greens were not in good condition. Pace of play excellent finished the round in 3.5 hours.

This is a good course. I can play all my clubs here obviously from the 541 par 5 on the second 9 I believe to fairway woods long irons short irons.

Just wish they sold beer

Having read some recent reviews I was intrigued to see just how bad it was. For 23 bucks, cart included, I was pleasantly surprised. Greens had been punched, fairway was often bad, but not as bad as expected. Enjoyed the day and the people I was paired with.

It was very confused for 1st time players.. It took much time to find out checkin window (all pro shop doors were locked, and the very small window opening but nobody was seen inside). It was very hard to find out tee boxes, fairway and green. Even the balls hit on the fairway, you still lost it as the grass on fairway were too high..

Course was aeation the greens, heavy sand. Fairway not mowed and it terrible shape. Hard to find balls in the middle of the fairways.

Only tee time I could find but greens and all fairways were trash

One of the worst maintained courses I’ve ever played. You can’t tell the difference between the fairways and rough or even the tee boxes for that matter.

Looks like it hasn’t been mowed in a week.

No fairway yardage markers of any kind.

Carts are old and cart paths are almost non-existent.

You will feel like you have been hit by a train by the 18th hole from the beating you take in the cart over the incredibly bumpy terrain you are forced to drive on.

Not to keep pilling on but there are no concessions at this course. No food- No Drinks- No 19th hole.

Willowick is the definition on a goat track.

What did you expect for 15 bucks? The course has been taken over by gophers. The greens were sanded and punched. No mention on Golfnow "hotdeals". Surprisingly there were a lot of people out there. I was told the course has been sold and they are making a housing development which is good because the course is not being maintained very well. The fairways are patchy with patches of thick rough that loves to eat golf balls. One highlight was a very large hawk that was trying his best to control the gopher population, but he couldn't eat any more.

Golf now had an aerification alert, I thought ok I can putt on sand. When I got to the course there was a hand written sign saying back 9 only. I went around once and the pace was okay, I got back to number 10 and there were 13 carts in line. Ended up skipping 3 holes. The fairways are non existent they are either long grass or mud. There are 3 homeless camps on the back 9, Management doesn’t seem to care about the homeless being there. There was also a group of about 15 teenagers walking around on the course with no clubs. Maybe it is a good thing this course is set to close..

Pace of play was extra extra extra slow. Conditions were bad. And back 9 holes were closed.
