Willowick Golf Course

This course is on the verge of needing to be shut down and have a major overhaul for player safety. Tee boxes to the next hole are very close to the previous hole green with no protective netting. Hole #1 and Tee Box #2 especially. Fairways look and feel more like an off rode vehicle course. It was hard to determine if I was in the "Rough" because it looked the same as the fairway. I think I would have been more comfortable riding an ATV vs. the golf cart. Cart paths are either non existant or very beat up. I saw many gopher holes and gophers while on the course on Sunday. With some time and lots of care this course could be restored to an excellent Santa Ana course. As it is now, it is surely one to be skipped.

Fairways not good shape at all. Liked the layout. Greens serviceable. Panay slow had a 6some on the course. Believe cours is being closed

Played in cow pastures that were in better condition.

If you're looking for a course that you can probably get a tee time , this is it the course. It's a low budget city course so is not maintained very well. But Hey I was able to get a tee time for Sunday. But I can play for this price at a lot of nicer courses it should be cheaper. But it is Winter and since everybody and their mother is playing during Covid, if you want a tee time come and get it

Really flat, open course for a price you can't really find in the OC area, but the course is not in good condition. Playable, but not really enjoyable. I must say that the fairways are in really bad shape, but can't complain for the money! If you are on a budget and just want to play a round (not necessarily enjoy it), then go for it!

First time playing. Heard people saying the fairways were beat up, and it was true but the greens weren’t bad at all. Pace was good. We were able to take our time each hole and got course done in 4 hours. Overall good experience. Will be back.

Greens were decent but the course condition as a whole was terrible.

Furthermore the course was full of guys just roaming around playing holes as they find openings between groups.

Paid $40 for this experience and wasn’t even able to finish.

There are many things I love about Willowick. Fair price, close to work and easy access, great practice areas and well kept greens. But what gets me the most about this place, is how great the staff is. They’ve always been more than kind to me, and keep things pleasant. Like last week was my birthday, and you get a free round on your birthday. I worked too late and by the time I got to Willowick there was only an hour and a half of light left. Starter let me enjoy the rest of the day and told me to come back at some point so I can enjoy my full round. That is the type of thing that keeps people like me coming back. Not the free golf, I gladly pay to help keep the doors open! It’s the generosity and fair treatment you get with a smile. Oldest course in Orange County with plenty of history. Let’s make sure Willowick stands for another 100 years!

I’ve played Willowick a ton over the years. Last minute decision to play left me with only Willowick as an option. I’ve never seen this course in as bad of shape as it was today. Entire fairways of dirt, potholes everywhere, greens in terrible shape, other golfers picking up golf balls when there on the fringe, and the guy mowing the grass drives over my golf ball on the fairway. Everywhere you drove you felt like you were off-roading. Last time playing willowick.

Front nine is in bad shape. Fairways are dirt and dead grass. Back 9 better.
