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.

18 Holes of Golf in OC for a reasonable rate.
This is an entry level 18 hole course. They got 2 Tee boxes and they are pretty close to each other. Majority of the holes is dead straight. Course needs a lot of TLC. Driving range was on wild grass. You can't beat it for the price with Cart which was under $30 bux.
Willowick Golf Course
The course looks and plays like the oldest course in OC. The tee boxes are terrible, maybe a 2, the fairways are bare and grass is most crab grass. The greens are very nice, roll true and friendly for a first time golfer. Strong 7 and would be higher if the golfers would fix their divots on the green. It’s cheap $ and the course plays that way. Easy and wide open for beginners

Pay Full...play Half
I had been to Willowick once about a month ago and I liked the course. It has some nice long holes and if you can hit fairly straight you will enjoy your day. There is no clubhouse do to Covid, so no big deal there. We had to wait 25 minutes to get golf balls to hit on the really beat up driving range, but again no big deal as long as I can hit. They appeared to be very short staffed on this day for sure. Many golfers gathered in the parking lot to complain about this part...We paid for 18 holes and when we got to hole 10 we were told to finish the hole and go turn in the carts as, because it was Labor Day, they were closing early. I have no real problem with that, but why not have us play 9 holes instead of letting us pay for 18? Especially when we had to wait for group of 5 in front of us at each hole. The groups behind us only golfed 9 and 8 holes. The golf course, I like, but I will never go again later in the day. I thought that I would get over it, but hours later that's still all that I am thinking about. I just got a text from the 3 friends with me and they are even madder than I am. :(

Don’t waste your time here . Never seen a course this bad. I get Covid and all but my god this place has turned into a dump.

Easy course but poorly managed
This is a very easy course compared to others. However there is a ton of trash on fairways, graffiti at every hole, fairways that are mud pits or could be considered a rough. The only redeeming factor is this course is mostly straight and wide fairways. Golf somewhere else.

Terrible, just terrible how they've let this course go
The course is in terrible condition, you actually lose balls on the fairways, not the rough, in the middle of the fairway. This is due to clumps of uncut grass and indentations from (I guess) heavy mowers sinking into the soft ground. It was still fun but man has the course gone bad over the past 6 months. It was never in good condition to begin with (I've been playing there for years) but its really, really gone down hill since Covid started.
