Willowick Golf Course

Pace of play was fine, but the course is in terrible shape. You hit the fairway and get rewarded with a lie in the dirt. The tee boxes were very chewed up, but the greens we're ok. Got there early to hit some balls before my round (8:20am start) and was told there were no balls for the range. When I made the turn, the range was full and there were plenty of balls. So, basically someone was lazy and didn't want to deal with it. Appreciate that. I was desperate because it's almost impossible to get a morning tee time in SoCal on the weekend right now, but I probably won't be back. There's nothing good about this course, including the homeless camp in the far corner at 16.

Starter personnel have attitude. No food carts . 0nly saw 3 employees 1 starter 1 cart attendant 1 collecting range balls. No range balls when we arrived.

Fairways are in really bad condition. Greens are not maintained properly.This Course NEEDS a lot of repairs. So sorry to rate it this way but we had a bad experience.

Terrible

Choice of T boxes limited

No forward or senior tees

First time playing and I really enjoyed playing the course. Bring your driver and your best pitching game cause every green will require it. The fairways could use some maintenance and the surrounding area/ neighborhood is super sketchy; stay in the fairways and you’ll have a great time

The fairways are rough and lots of new grass needs to be planted. But it's hard to lose a ball, the layout is fun and the greens are pretty good. It's a great neighborhood course for any skill level. I keep coming back after 11 years and I will continue to :-)

As a first timer, not knowing the course layout, me and my buddy were often quite confused where to go next. Signage/direction is vital. Also, the fairways were very poorly maintained. And the tee boxes were very uneven. I almost rolled an ankle twice in the tee box. The greens were okay, but not uniform in performance, so it was hard to putt with consistency. For this kind of course, the bunkers should not be this ludicrously sized/shaped. Until major improvements are made or the cost comes down 20%, would not go back.

Second worst course I've played. At this point can you call it a golf course. Horrible conditions. There was someone living in a tent on the 17th hole by the tee box. (I'm not joking)

This was the first time playing Willowick, and as advertised it was definitely the oldest course in Orange County. However, with the old came a whole host of problems. Have never seen so many gopher holes, gopher mounds, etc. The lack of attention to this problem has allowed to rodents to completely destroy the fairways and some tee boxes. Make sure you watch your step, as you might twist an ankle, or hold on for an extremely bumpy ride in your golf cart. On a positive note, the golf carts are strong, visually esthetic and in good working order.

Signage is basically non-existent, and if you are lucky you might find yourself playing the course in numerical order. Most likely out of order.

On two of the holes you will find yourself having to navigate around trash, clothes, and tents all associated with homeless camps. Don't leave your cart unattended, as your valuables may disappear.

I would not recommend this course to friends, family or enemies. Until someone shows some interest in just a modicum of maintenance or ownership, I'll never return.
