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 come here..
There was bums living on the course!! And it was full of gang graffiti everywhere.. Ridiculous can’t believe this course is still in business
Decent course
If you’re looking for a cheap round with available AM tee times this is the place. The greens are kept up okay, but the fairways are rough, even for a public course.
Thank you for playing and posting a review. We hope to see you again soon.

Cow Pasture
This course has been on the decline for years. I think its finally on its last leg. Every aspect of this course is bad. The bathrooms with sinks that do not work , the fairways , greens , tee boxes . Its all a mess.

Willowick
Weather perfect. Tee'd off right on time. Pace was good. Tee boxes good. Greens good. Roughs okay. Fairways fair. There were many places on fairway where it was hard pan. Haven't had any rain in SoCal in a few months & even that last was minimal. Still no snack shack, that's not the fault of the course though. Gatorades avail from front desk. For the money still good. Great local course.

Short course, with a good layout.
I had not played here in awhile and found with the exception of the greens that the course was in the worst shape that I have ever seen. Mud everywhere, especially in front of greens and there was very little grass on the fairways. We had to play lift clean and find a patch of grass to make our round tolerable. However; the weather was great and we had a good day on the course anyway.

Gopher hole paradise!
Horrible conditions! Rumor had a years ago they were going to close it for a housing track. Gopher holes everywhere and very very bumpy terrain. Back breaker for sure in a cart. No fairways just pretty much dirt. Played a lot in the 90's here and not even close to those conditions.

Closing soon ?
Conditions were rough today. Some fairways were grass bare and rutted.
I hear they’ve closing soon, sad.

Beat to hello
It's cheap. Easy to walk. Worst tee boxes you'll ever see outside of Pakistan. Fairways are dead grass or dirt. Greens are decent.

BEWARE!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY
Tee boxes, fairways, and greens are in total disrepair. Horrible!
